Rear Suspension Support
A heavy rear load can cause 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.

1,000-lb Capacity. Upgrade your vehicle's rear suspension with these maintenance-free helper springs. Sturdy microcellular urethane springs cushion bumps and help support a heavy load to level your ride and minimize sway. No-drill installation.by: Daren12/19/2022
Seems very robust. Looking forward to towing the trailer in the spring! Relatively easy to install, but thanks to a little [online] search, I was able to install them more easily. The steps for installation did not call for any lubrication of the top of the spring in order to get it into place, but it definitely needed it. I took multiple attempts to try and install them without and they simply wouldn't slip into place. I used a little bit of Simple Green in order to provide the lubrication that they needed to slip into place. It worked on the first attempt. OE bump-stops included in the picture next to the new Sumo Springs.

Haven’t got to pull trailer yet, that’s why I bought them, but compared to the old ones, uh there’s no comparison, looking forward to pulling my trailer without worrying about how trailer is towing and not swaying

I have installed these on 3 GM products.
1.Great experience on a 2003 Tahoe, this made towing much more enjoyable. Reduced the porpoising of the vehicle driving down a highway. Also the vehicle doesn't drop as much when hooking up the trailer. Much improved towing experience. 5 stars
2. 2011 Suburban LTZ with airsprings. Noticed the difference but not as necessary. I do think it is better on the airsprings though when hooking up as the airsprings don't bottom out without the vehicle running. 5 stars
3. 2007 Escalade Had great difficultly installing. Just could not get them to pop into the socket fully. Wire brushed the sockets with an airtool. The clearance must be smaller, don't know. If this would have been my first install I would not have bought more of these. 1 star

2014 GMC Yukon XL
I have a 2014 Yukon XL Denali and tow a 32ft camper trailer. I bought these helper stops as a cheap option to not have to replace my factory air ride system Not only was the price excellent, but the install was super easy(just use little lube and rubber mallet). I have towed our trailer many times since install and no issues, plus the existing air ride can still help level the load. Very please and would recommend this before expensive suspension upgrades

Ok, why didn't I buy these a few years ago?
They have no real impact at all on the ride of the truck unloaded, they go in place of the bump stops (if yours are more than five years old they're probably worthless anyway) and they really, REALLY stop the "squat" with a load on the ball - or in the back.
In addition, being that they take that load right on the frame essentially right where the springs do, there's no batter place to do that in terms of the original suspension and frame design.
I like 'em, assuming they hold up well.

My Chevy Tahoe does not sag as much when towing since installing these.
by: David05/24/2022
Rather difficult install. Not complicated, really, just a pain in the butt. Make sure you clean the housings, where the old ones are, after removal and before you put the new ones in. Really well.

- Determining The Towing Capacity Of A 2003 Chevy Suburban To know the exact amount your 2003 Chevy Suburban can safely tow you'll need to check the owner's manual or look at the tag in your driver's side door jamb to find your GVWR and GCWR. Your GCWR is the maximum fully loaded weight of your vehicle and trailer combined. This includes passengers, cargo, fuel, etc. If it's rolling down the road on, in, or with your vehicle or trailer, it counts toward the GCWR. This is typically found in the manual or can be looked up online with your VIN....
view full answer... - Installation Process of SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper SpringsAt this time there is not an installation video of the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-204-40 available for your 2001 Chevy Suburban, but the process is going to be fairly easy and straightforward. These jounce style springs will replace your current jounce bumpers (bump stops) and are installed in that spot. So the installation process is really just jacking the truck up, removing the old bumpers and replacing them with these. The SumoSprings also come with a detailed set...
view full answer... - How To Prevent Suspension Sag When Towing Trailer W/ 2006 GMC Yukon Denali Using Weight DistributionFirst things first I recommend double checking that your weight distribution system is adjusted correctly to allow your 2006 GMC Yukon Denali AWD to be level when towing. If the system is adjusted correctly per the instructions included with your hitch, then I recommend adding the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-204-40 which is confirmed to fit your vehicle and offers 1000lbs of load leveling support to get rid of the slight sagging you have. I included a video of the # SSR-204-40...

These springs are designed to replace your factory bump stops. Once you remove your factory bump stops these springs will slide into the bump stop mounting location. The installation instructions are included in the box. I have attached a photo showing how the SumoSprings will look once installed.

- 2003 Chevy Suburban 4x4 Suspension Enhancement RecommendationThe suspension enhancement for your 2003 Chevy Suburban 4x4 that won't sacrifice the ride quality is the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs Kit # SSR-204-40. These offer more support the more weight that is applied to them, and then they back off and let your OEM suspension operate normally when no load is present. Please note that these aren't a substitute for an OEM suspension so if your shocks are bad then your first resort needs to be replacing your OEM suspension. This kit is...
view full answer... - Which Sumo Springs Do I Need For 2003 Chevy Suburban 1500 2WDThe SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs you need for the 2003 Chevy Suburban 1500 2WD are part # SSR-204-40. The SumoSprings replace the bump stop on the Chevy to help with rear sag and suspension support. They are a progressive spring made from microcellular material that is designed to compress lightly with lighter loads and up to 80% with heavy loads. The progressive load control does not compromise the ride quality like with the dense rubber springs that are always fully engaged.

- Do SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs Come as a PairThe SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-204-40 for your 2002 GMC Yukon XL 1500 are sold as a pair. That means you will receive two helper springs if you order a quantity of one.

I would love to help you and your family safely travel to your campsite. Since you are still experiencing some sag with your weight distribution (WD) system I recommend checking the tongue weight (TW) range of your current system before adding any Suspension Enhancement System (SES). A properly rated WD system will have a TW range that the loaded TW of your trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your 2001 Chevrolet...
view full answer... - 2000 Chevy Suburban 1500 Rear Coil Spring EnhancementI have a solution for you, but we won't offer anything to replace the factory coil springs on your 2000 Chevy Suburban. I recommend going with the Sumo Springs Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-204-40 . As opposed to some of the air suspension systems, these SumoSprings are going to provide you with the support you're looking for to help take some of the pressure of your stock suspension system, while being maintenance free; you won't need to worry about installing an air compressor, or...

The SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs Kit, part # SSR-204-40 you referenced would be a fit for your vehicle if it is a 1500. The SSR-204-40 is designed to replace the existing bump stops.The springs measure approximately 4 inches across when not compressed, so you will want to make certain you have sufficient clearance around the bump stops, and that the autoride air system does not interfere with...
view full answer... - Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement For 2001 Chevrolet Suburban Towing 8000lb CamperAs long as the tongue weight of your 8000lb camper does not exceed 1000lbs the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear # AL60769 would be a great option for your 2001 Chevrolet Suburban as it provides 1000lbs of load leveling support which is adjustable by adjusting the air pressure in the helper springs. If your tongue weight is above 1000lbs you could damage the # AL60769 so you would be better off with the # SSR-204-40 as you will not damage them by being over 1000lbs...
view full answer... - Rear Helper Spring Option for 2011 Chevy Suburban 1500 Towing Horse TrailerI'd recommend a passive helper spring system like the SumoSprings Solo, part # SSR-204-40. A passive system like this won't affect your ride quality until the rear suspension compresses at which tie the springs will provide plenty of additional support against the tongue weight applied to the rear suspension from the horse trailer. They also help prevent body roll during turns and sway. And unlike air bags, there's no need to worry about anything leaking. The Timbren # TGMRYS4 springs...

The Timbrens offer up to 6000 of additional support which is way more than you'll need to offset the tongue weight of your travel trailer. The SumoSprings # SSR-204-40 add 1000 lbs of additional support, and they're made of a more pliable material...

This means you cannot use them on your 2020 GMC Yukon XL Denali. However, you can use the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-204-40. The SumoSprings will provide you with that extra support and stability you're looking for. They will help keep you level, reduce body roll, and won't have a negative impact on your ride quality. They are also maintenance free so you don't have to worry about...

The springs help support heavy rear loads to keep your vehicle level, help to absorb bumps and shocks and minimize sway. Unlike air helper springs, the SumoSprings require no maintenance and will never...

Such a system won't affect your ride quality unless the rear suspension of your Tahoe is compressed from hauling cargo or the tongue weight of a trailer. I'd recommend the Sumo Springs # SSR-204-40 which will provide up to 1000 lbs of additional support. The way a jounce bumper spring replacement works is that they won't have any influence on the ride of the vehicle...

Instead you will need the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-204-40 which will work around your factory air leveling shocks and will give you up to 1000lbs of load leveling support when towing a trailer or carrying a heavy payload.

view full answer... - 2002 GMC Yukon XL Denali 1500 Air Bag Kit Fitment and RecommendationThe closest thing to an air bag kit that fits your 2002 GMC Yukon XL Denali 1500 is the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL60769 which fit inside your suspension coils. These kind of kits are okay, but can be prone to getting pinched inside the suspension coils if you aren't careful and you forget to routinely check the air bags, so I actually recommend using the SumoSprings # SSR-204-40 instead. The SumoSprings replace your OEM jounce bumpers and have 3 key factors as to why I really...
view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement for 2012 Chevy Suburban Towing Large BoatAs a first step, I would recommend confirming you have a correctly rated system by determining the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of your trailer. Keep in mind that the weight of anything stowed in the cargo area behind the rear axle also needs to be considered as tongue weight. If the tongue weight of your boat and trailer exceed the capacity of your system, it would certainly explain why its not working as well as it could. I have linked you to an FAQ article explaining how...

If that distance was increased then I recommend going with the RoadActive Suspension instead because it installs on top of the leaf springs so it will function as normal.

view full answer... - Will SumoSprings Work in Freezing TemperaturesAccording to my contact in the Engineering department at SuperSprings the correct SumoSpring fit for a 2015 Suburban 1500 would be # SSR-204-40. According to them, the SumoSprings # SSR-204-40 springs will remain functional down to -25º F. Operating in temperatures below that won't harm anything, but the SumoSprings wouldn't be very pliable at those temperatures so the ride quality would suffer to a degree. I've linked you to a product description video for the # SSR-204-40 SumoSprings.

In some cases the heavier duty vehicle's stiffer suspension can compensate for improper loading that can cause sway so one thing you can try that is free is moving any cargo weight in your travel trailer as far forward as possible to increase tongue weight as that's the most common cause of trailer sway. Another thing that could be at play is that your tow vehicles have...
