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.

So managing a travel nurse's life we tow all over the country.. The Sumo spring has helped tremendously with ride level and stability for tens of thousands of miles in this first year.. With no hassle of leaky air hoses or blown bags along your ride it is by far one of the easiest ways to help support your load!!!!
by: Walt09/20/2021
Not driven under load, but think it is the answer. I may have to remove the spacer. I had to have them installed, not as easy /smooth as their video portrays. The instructions do not advise as what it suppose to look like (for F350 SRW) . IE: barely touching the axel? Above the axle? The 2800 load was recommended, I will follow up after my RV trip. I want it to set level, but not ride stiff W/O a load.

The Sumo Springs work great. I have a 5th wheel and the Sumo Springs really keeps the truck from sagging without compromising the ride.

Installed these on my 2012 Ford F-350 King Ranch 6.7
Improved the ride, even when empty.
Reduced the harshness, the sharp jarring felt when hitting even small bumps, and pot holes ! Haven't tried it with my Montana Mountaineer 5th wheel camper yet, looking forward to that.

I installed these (front and back sets) a year ago and they still work very well. I pull a fifth wheel and these help keep the truck level and the ride comfortable. They were one of the best things I have added to my Super Duty.

They work fine. Makes the ride a little rougher, but the truck likes having them.

Prouduct went in just like the instructions said.
Only isuses was removing old bump stock!!!
Had to get a pipe wrench to hold it didnt have no fancy special tool... but was a piece of cake..

Installed when factory bushings deteriorated. I had noticed a slight sway when towing 9000 lb travel trailer during cross winds. Once installed, sway was gone. I will either take these off when I replace truck or purchase new ones.

Sold truck, got a 2019 ram 1500. First thing I did was replaced stock bushing.
by: Thomas 06/16/2020
Received the Sumos on time and installed them in less than half an hour. Once the slide in camper was put back on the truck, the difference was instantly noticable. The left to right and back swaying was almost nonexistent. As usual, a quality product from e-trailer.

The SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit works great had for over a year pair them with SumoSprings solo custom helper springs and truck tows great even when I have 14k pounds on my trailer. An most I have ever squatted is around 2in in rear with my 2016 f250.

2015 Ford F-350 Super Duty
Installed concurrently with Bilstein HD shocks on rear. The ride unloaded has not changed much other than the slap has been reduced when hitting a bump. With my F350, I don't have much sag with the 1800 lb pin weight of my fifth wheel, but I got the Sumos to prevent smacking the OEM bump stops on big dips and bumps. The sag was reduced from 2" to 1.5" with the fifth wheel loaded. Took the truck on a 40 mile moderately rough mountain road trip and drove harder than usual. No crabbing around bumpy curves. The truck felt like I had installed an anti-sway bar as it took the curves at speed flatter and seemed to rotate through curves instead of plowing through them. Sumosprings are recommended!

Ford F-250 Super Duty
used product on f250 with slide in truck camper
originally had problems sagging in the rear and swaying when loaded
I have beefed up shocks and big ass sway bar
but still had problems with level ride and swaying
after install rear sag was corrected to level and sway side to side was much better
great product for vehicles under heavy load
by: Greg B04/11/2019
Ford F-350 Super Duty
These springs helped with the sag on my F350. I no longer get flashed for my headlights in oncoming cars.
However, it has caused my truck to now porpoise over bumps with the fifth wheel bouncing along.
I will probably add airbags to make it better.
by: Rudy 05/11/2020
Because they are designed to be more of a weight bearing spring that replaces the factory bump stop when when towing my heavy fifth wheel it's a great product . I just wish It had the ability to twist lock out and install a 2 inch shorter spring when doing light towing. That is why I give it a 4 star. I don't regret installing it.

The Sumo Helper Springs were just what I needed for my F-350 and they were easy to install. The people at etrailer were very professional and they treated me as a valued customer, which is a rare thing these days.

Recieved these quiker than expected. Will install on my Ford F350 CC 4X4 long bed with factory upper overload spring installed to support towing my Gand Design Solitude 310GK Fifth Wheel. They look to be well made and as advertised.
by: Trevor08/29/2019
Easy Install, I installed the front & back ones due to a heavy bale bed install & front replacement bumper. The front ones stiffened up the ride quite a bit but all have held up very good so far.
by: Tim P.03/11/2018
Simple installation completed by 75 yr old in less then one hour....
Over the normal street bumps you get no KerThunk!!!!
Smoother ride noticed immediately.
Will follow up additional when we hook up the fifth wheel........

The springs work perfect. They were easy to install and made my F250 pull a 13500 trailer like it wasn't there. No bounce or harsh ride without a load. etrailer was very helpful too!!

- What is Overall Height of SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-114-54The SumoSprings Solo kit # SSR-114-54 measures 5 inches including the bracket according to our contact at SuperSprings. They are designed not to be engaged when you are without load but also to progressively control load as they compress since they get stiffer the further they are compressed.

They are designed not to be engaged when you are without load but to progressively control load as they compress. They are made of high-density Microcellular urethane so they are maintenance free.
view full answer... - Can I Purchase a Single SumoSpring Custom Solo Helper Spring to Replace a Damaged OneI have a solution for you, but the Sumo Springs are only sold in pairs, so you would need to purchase a complete kit using part # SSR-114-54. While failure of these is fairly unlikely, they can get damaged occasionally and need replacement, so doing this would leave you with an extra spring to use if you ever have the need to make another replacement.
view full answer... - Will SumoSprings Work With 2016 Ford F-250 Towing Fifth Wheel TrailerThe SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs, part # SSR-114-54 are designed to be able to cushion the ride of your 2016 F-250 truck when you are carrying loads, and should do a nice job for you.. They are progressive so they compress as more weight is added to the truck. The springs are an easy no-drill installation as they replace the vehicle jounce bumpers on your truck. Using a suspension enhancement like part # SSR-114-54 will not increase your load capacity.

The AirLifts are not a confirmed fit for your 2015 Ford F-350. They're made for Fords no newer than 2012. The SumoSprings are a great product, and will work to level your truck under the weight of the kingpin.

For jounce-style spring suspension on your '04 F-350 similar to the WorkRite I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-114-54 because they are highly effective, simple to install and maintenance-free. These springs # SSR-312-54 will reduce body roll while helping keep your truck vehicle level and give you a smoother ride. The SumoSprings...

- SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Spring Kit SSR-114-54 for 2008 F-250 4WDYou can totally handle the install of the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Spring Kit # SSR-114-54 in your 2008 F-250 4WD that has the B&W gooseneck hitch installed. The USA-made # SSR-114-54 is a bolt-on kit that needs no drilling. You'll simply remove the worn factory bump stops and the replace them with the Sumos. These will give you progressive resistance as the load on them increases. At half compression they support 2800-lbs but they can compress as much as 80% when you need them...

The gooseneck brackets you have on your 2001 Ford F-350 look similar to the Reese style 5th wheel hitch brackets but I think we need to look at a different suspension enhancement system as it doesn't look like the brackets from any of the air spring kits we offer will match up or work around the brackets on your truck. I recommend going with the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-114-54 for your application for a few reasons; once...

- How Well Do SumoSprings for a 2016 Ford F-250 Work to Eliminate Squat The correct SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs for a 2016 Ford F-250 is part # SSR-114-54. The SumoSprings will do a great job of reducing rear squat while towing or loaded but no suspension enhancement system would guarantee to completely eliminate squat. That said, I really like the SumoSprings because they not only provide great support but also don't decrease ride quality too much which can be an issue for a lot of these suspension enhancements.

As you mentioned, headlight aim will go back to the correct level and you will also most likely notice an increase is braking as well as overall stability with the SumoSprings installed. The SumoSprings are a maintenance free option so once they are installed (which is super easy) you can forget about them and let...

There's the 2,800 lb kit part # SSR-114-54 and the 1,500 lb kit part # SSR-114-54. Basically you want to go with the lightest duty kit that will work for your application so that you get the support you need without causing your ride quality to be overly harsh.

The # SSR-114-54 you were looking at only fit the 1999-2016 Ford F-250/350 and would not work on your truck. I included a video of the # SSR-127-54 for you to take a look at.

Therefore, the Timbren springs are going to do a much better job of handling the added weight of your 5th wheel trailer. In addition to leveling support, these springs will also improve handling and reduce...

The Timbren kit part # TFR250SDF is going to be the best option as it does not contact when unloaded. This is the lower capacity kit at 6k.

However, I would strongly urge you to consider the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TFR250SDF which have a 6,000 lb weight capacity and will be much better suited for the pin weight of your 5th wheel trailer.

The Timbrens will provide more support therefore there will be less squat but the downside of this is that they are rather hard which can result in an uncomfortable ride.

You are going to want at least 1 inch of space between the bottom of the spring and the axle otherwise it will create a rough ride. I do recommend removing the spacer.
