Rear Suspension Support
Towing or hauling a heavy load can cause rear sag as your factory suspension compresses under the weight of the load. This means that the rear axle is trying to support not only the extra load but also the weight of your vehicle. And because there is less weight on your front axle, your front tires make less contact with the road, which causes problems with traction, steering, and braking. SumoSprings upgrade your vehicle's factory suspension to level your vehicle, improve driving performance, and keep your ride comfortable.
SumoSprings provide progressive load control - the more you load them, the stiffer they become. With a lighter load, the springs will compress easily for soft engagement and a less bumpy ride. The closed-cell urethane material allows for smooth contact between the springs and your vehicle. And the springs act like a shock absorber to dampen road vibration.
The springs can also compress by as much as 80 percent to support a heavy rear load and to help your factory suspension bear up under the load. This evens out the weight, which levels your vehicle and ensures that your front tires are making better contact with the road. A level ride means that you have improved driving control, ensures safe headlight aim, and helps to minimize sway. The springs also support your factory suspension, which helps prevent sagging and reduces bottoming out.
The springs work independently from one another to support each side of your vehicle. This action helps to reduce body roll when you make a sharp turn. This also helps compensate for an off-center load.
Durable, Custom-Fit Springs
These microcellular urethane springs are tough. They resist abrasion, oil, salt, and UV rays that can more quickly wear out other springs, and they perform well in temperatures ranging from -25 F to 200 F (-33 C to 93 C).
SumoSprings compress vertically with minimum expansion to the sides, so they won't be damaged by nearby mechanical parts and they fit safely into tighter spots. And unlike air springs, SumoSprings require no maintenance or adjustment.
The helper springs are custom designed to fit your vehicle, and they install easily - no drilling required.

I believe it’s going to be a great addition to my truck when pulling our RV. Looking forward to a smoother, more even ride. I left the 2x4 blocks in overnig8ht and drove around to ensure a good seat for the springs.

This is what was needed to keep the truck level when the 5th wheel camper is attached. Works great better ride. 22Chevrolet HD DURAMAX. Camper is a 40 ft. 5th wheel

Works well to provide support with my 5th Wheel trailer. Helps with travel on the springs
by: Gary02/22/2024
Received order on time and no issues. The product however does not fit my 2022 Chevy 2500HD, the head of the Sumo spring that fits in the pocket on the truck frame does not clip in over the tabs in the cup, looks like the Sumo spring has to much material for it to seat. Tried soapy water and even tried Fluid Film to get it to seat. No rust in the cup. Put original bumps back in and will return these. Nice concept, no joy.

2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
My order arrived 4 days early, WOW. I did use 2 flat blade screw drivers to remove the old bumpers. When I installed the new Sumo Springs I put a little liquid soap on the top edges, this helped pop them in. I also used a piece of 2X4 to help push them in, and quickly released the floor jack and this seated them in fully. Quick install took about 20 min. I have less than 1" at the bottom. Unloaded ride is same as before. With my trailer attached (1200 LBS hitch weight) the short test drive I felt much better control and less bounce. Very happy with product and etrailer. THANK YOU!

Good piece of gear, works great supporting my new grand design 5th wheel. Installing was easy, only information I can pass is the 2x4 was not enough to seat the spring, had to add another 1/2 piece of wood to help seat the spring inside the cup..

Great, after 1 year the spring is still doing its job. No issues no complaints
by: Rob W.07/18/2017
Easy install! The most time consuming part is getting tools together! I found that prying with a large flat-blade screwdriver worked best to remove the old bump-stops.
There's about a 1/2" gap between the Sumosprings and the axle with B&W 5th wheel hitch installed but no trailer, so no change in ride when "empty". I haven't tested the Sumosprings with my 5th wheel hooked up yet.
by: Christy09/21/2023
Improved load carrying and reduced porpoising but introduced lateral sway when compressed as can be seen on videos
by: Arthur H. /New Jersey 09/06/2019
Sumo springs really helps on heavy load situations & helps the ride as well. Easy to install, does everything the company said & what I expected it to do. Etrailer ,their staff with their expertise & knowledge of the products as well as with tutorials , pictures & videos makes me come back to purchase products that they distribute.

Good so far. It does what I expected it to do, additional support for the heavy loads I’m carrying & not noticeable when unladen.
by: Craig10/05/2022
Barely did anything that I was expecting. Did not help with the truck squat and therefore did nothing to minimize the fifth wheel bucking.

You may like having airbags better. Part # F2613 if you have two wheel drive or part # F2613 for four wheel drive from Firestone is a great place to start. You are able to adjust the amount of support depending on if you are hauling or not. You wont have to uninstall anything when the bags arent needed and the quality of the ride wont suffer.
by: Alan 09/23/2022
Great stability when my pickup camper is on , acts like a heavy duty sway bar keeping my truck flat on curves. Also helps leveling with heavy loads on.

They made a huge difference when pulling my 37' fifth wheel camper. Easy to install on 2016 Chevy 2500HD vs. dealing with air bags and on-board compressors
by: Chris 07/06/2021
Run for 1year now and they are fantastic! They stabilize the ride under heavy load. Compensate when the overloads are under heavy stress. An excellent option for those who don't quite need the whole air ride suspension.

2015 GMC 3500 HD
The application was straightforward... though prying out the OEM jounces and applying the new ones were more difficult than expected.
Harry and Harriet Homeowner can install this in their garage without a lift. Jacking the weight off the tires and supporting the frame gives you more room to work. Using a 2x4 to aid in compression and seating the SumoSpring REALLY helped.
The final result is excellent on our 2015 GMC 3500HD.

Very good but I had to trim it to fit properly. Still fully satisfied
by: Gil R12/14/2017
Great set of custom helper springs. A small problem with the temp in Mich. at 0* , warmed them up indoor over night, using a 4/6 all is well. Supper instructions from Sumo Springs, enjoyed the job, Thanks for the usual fast shipping, Gil Ruehmeier
by: Todd 08/28/2018
Removal of the old and installation of the new was fairly straight forward. However, you do need to be a little more creative on the installation side. I followed the instructions several times before deciding to drive with the 2x4's in place until the springs actually seated. I knew when I heard the pieces fall out. I would suggest not driving on a busy road during this portion. I give the install about a 3.

Easy to self install and have been exactly what I wanted. They have smoothed out the ride when we hook up to our 16,000 pound Montana. They also have leveled out the truck when hooked up. Well worth the expense.
by: Jason 02/18/2021
These eliminated a lot of bounce and really smoothed out the ride with the trailer hooked up

- Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Towing Fifth Wheel TrailerFor your 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500HD towing a 12,000 lb fifth wheel trailer I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-207-47, because Timbrens will make your ride a bit rougher than the SumoSprings. The SumoSprings work by progressively compressing based on the weight of the load compared to the rubber Timbren springs, which is why they do not give you as bumpy a ride. The SumoSprings also do not require any type of drilling for installation as you can see in the linked...

Indeed, a "short length of 2 x 4" is listed in the installation instructions as one of the tools needed to install the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs # SSR-207-47, yet this item is not referred to in any of the installation steps. My technical contact at SumoSprings advised that the 2 x 4 is recommended to help get their springs fully seated in the cups that held the factory bump stops. The idea is to place one end on the top of the axle and the other against...

These jounce springs will usefully stiffen your rear suspension with progressive resistance when it is under load but they will not change the normal ride quality.

This will give you additional suspension support and will also allow for a smoother ride quality unloaded than the Timbren. You should note that these kits do not allow you to add their capacity to your truck capacity to get a new, higher capacity. These just provide additional support to help you carry your current capacity safer.

For your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 4x4, a great set of rear SumoSprings is the Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear # SSR-207-47. These springs will not only get you 1,500 pounds of capacity, but they also do not require any additional maintenance once installed.

Usually, the underside of the spring would sit about 1-2 inches above the axle. For crew cab models, the extra weight of the cab would cause the rear to settle a bit more, with the bottom of the spring sitting just above or right on the axle.

These have a 5,000 lbs load leveling capacity and are compatible with in-bed hitches. This is a two piece system so when your Silverado is not loaded down from the weight of your 5th wheel trailer you won't notice them.

The SumoSprings have a 5,000 lbs capacity and only compress when a load is placed on the rear of your truck. These springs attach at both the top and bottom so they allow unlimited travel between...

The Solo can provide up to an additional 1,500 lbs of support and the Rebel 3,000 lbs so you'll get a lot more with the Rebel. So if you'll be towing a lot of weight closer to the capacity of the truck go with the Rebel but if you won't really get close to the capacity it would be better to go with the Solo....

Your suspension will end up being affected pretty severely when not under load, so I suggest one of the lower rated options. Specifically the SumoSprings Rebel # SSR-203-40-2.

To celebrate our anniversary with our trailer suspension we drove from the Western Slope of Colorado to eastern Kansas, picked up a larger and heavier travel trailer and had no issues with the additional weight. Our suspension performed flawlessly. Thank you trailer for your support and super products.
