Well, I can now recommend the Timbrens for the bottoming out problem on the '06's. It's a shame we have to do anything, but I got tired of everyone who rides with me asking if my truck just bottomed out when I go over bumps . . . . . I went with the Timbrens instead of new shocks because 1) my shocks are new (although, obviously not very good), and 2) I'll be carrying (at times) an extra 100-300 lbs up front.

They were a quick an easy install

 

does yours bottom out when the tires are going up or down? Mine does it bad going down.

 

Sorry but I gotta do this to you......

Yep, had mine on on the fourth day of owning it. Front and back. Huge difference over OEM. Now, I want to replace the shocks to compliment.

 

Man . . . you guys are demanding . Here is a pic of the one of the front Timberins. They are supposed to rest on the axle.


Here is a pic of one of the Timbren's on the rear. It is supposed to be 1/2" - 1" above the axle.

 

Down. It would bottom out REALLY easy going over speed bumps or dips in the road. Really poor for a 3500 suspension.

 

I have the bilsteen 5100's and still bottom out the front.....this looks like a good solution....I'll probably just get the fronts as that's where i have the problem....great post.

 

I bought mine from a different place, but would have bought from this guy as he was about $10 cheaper. I just didn't get his e-mail in time. You might check them out. This was a price for my '06 Mega 4WD. Good luck.

This is for the '06 Mega 4WD:

Front - DF25004B
Rear - DR3500CA

Here is a link to Timbren's web site with the part numbers for Dodge:

I just traded my MC for a QC DRW. I need the 8ft bed and I don't like the look of Longbed SRW's. That is the first thing I noticed. My truck rides like a truck again. It isn't close to bottoming out over the same bumps my MC would hit the stops. After the fact, I swear the MC's have softer springs than the all other models. I know I traded a 2500 for a 3500 but it is truly a night and day difference.

 

I don't think it is a softer spring but more like the extra mega weight on the same springs and shocks.

Same part numbers for the '07's as well if anyone was wondering.
