It replaces factory jounce stops with progressive hollow rubber springs to eliminate rear sag under load. The 1.5 suffix indicates the kit includes a 1.5-inch custom spacer for applications needing greater height adjustment compared to the standard 1-inch M1 spacer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know whether to order the M1 or M1.5 spacer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTimbren recommends measuring the gap between the bump stop mounting surface on the frame and the top of the rear axle with the truck at stock ride height and unloaded. If the gap is larger and the 1-inch M1 spacer would not bring the rubber spring close enough to achieve the required half-inch to one-and-a-half-inch unloaded gap, the 1.5-inch M1.5 spacer is the correct choice. Trucks with leveling kits, slightly higher-than-stock ride heights, or worn factory suspension may have a larger gap that the M1.5 addresses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Timbren GMRCK25DM1.5 increase the truck's GVWR?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Installing the Timbren SES does not change the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle. The GVWR is set by the manufacturer and cannot be increased by suspension upgrades. The Timbren system improves load control and prevents sag but does not authorize loading the vehicle beyond its rated GVWR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the 1.5-inch spacer affect unloaded ride quality?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Timbren spring is designed with a gap between the rubber spring and the axle when the truck is empty. When correctly installed, the spring does not contact the axle under light driving loads, so unloaded ride quality is not significantly impacted. The additional 0.5 inch of the M1.5 spacer versus the M1 adjusts the gap height, not the spring rate itself. If the spacer results in the spring contacting the axle under no load, the spacer selection should be reconsidered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the GMRCK25DM1.5 compatible with 2WD and 4WD trucks?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The Timbren GMRCK25DM1.5 fits both 2WD and 4WD configurations of the 2011-2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, Silverado 3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD, and Sierra 3500HD, including Cab and Chassis variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this kit work with trucks that have aftermarket suspension or lift kits?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePossibly, but Timbren recommends verifying the unloaded gap between the bump stop mount and the axle after any lift kit installation before ordering. Lift kits can change this gap, and the correct spacer selection depends on the actual gap in your specific installation. The M1.5 spacer is often the better choice for trucks with leveling kits or mild lifts that open up the gap slightly compared to stock height.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the GMRCK25DM1.5 require any drilling or welding?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The GMRCK25DM1.5 is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory rear jounce stops on the frame. No drilling, welding, or cutting of any vehicle component is required. Standard hand tools are sufficient for installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the Timbren SES compare to airbag kits for the 2500HD and 3500HD?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAir bag kits for the 2500HD and 3500HD add an adjustable air spring inside the coil or alongside the leaf spring, requiring an air compressor or on-board air system to adjust pressure as load changes. Timbren SES requires no compressor, no air lines, and no maintenance. The Timbren rubber spring adjusts automatically and progressively as load increases, without any driver input. Air bag systems offer on-demand adjustability that Timbren does not, but for operators who want a set-and-forget solution for consistent hauling loads, Timbren is simpler and more reliable long-term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Instructions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSafely lift the rear of the vehicle and support it on jack stands.
