  • What Suspension Kit to Correct Sagging Rear End on 2002 Toyota Tacoma During Occasional Towing
  • As you noted there are several different types of rear axle suspension enhancement products for your 2002 Toyota Tacoma: air-springs, rubber bump-stop springs and helper leaf springs such as the Super Springs # SSA18. Air-spring kits are more complex to install and require regular checks to maintain their required minimum pressure, but offer adjust-ability to suit changing tow and cargo loads. Rubber springs are not adjustable but do offer progressive resistance as the load increases, are re

  • Will SuperSpring Coil Inserts Fit on a 2009 Subaru Legacy
  • If you can provide me with some measurements of your coil springs, I can determine if any of our SuperSprings Coil Inserts will work on your 2009 Subaru Legacy. Unfortunately SuperSprings has not tested any of their coil inserts with your vehicle, but we may be able to find something that will work. If you can send me the overall diameter of your coil spring, the distance between each coil and the diameter of the spring coil, I can see if we have an insert that will work for you. I have atta

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement for a 2006 Toyota Highlander
  • Ideally you would use weight distribution but since Toyota says you cannot (consult the vehicle owners manual to confirm) then using some sort of suspension enhancement will work to take the sag out of the back of your 2006 Toyota Highlander. The Sumo Springs you actually need are # CSS-1195R for your Highlander. These will help to take out the sagging and ease some stress on the suspension.

  • Will the SuperSprings Super Sway-Stops Work on Vehicles without Air Bags
  • As long as you have factory overload springs on your 2001 Ford F-250 then you can install the SuperSprings SuperSway-Stops Anti-Sway System # SSS-1 on your vehicle whether you have air bags or not. I checked with my contact at SuperSprings to confirm this. Since this is an overload spring you will not feel the effects of this suspension enhancement until there is a load on your vehicle. I attached an installation video for this product for you to check out also.

Ride height with this kit is adjustable depending on which holes in the shackles are used to mount the SuperSprings rollers.

  • Placement of CSS-1125R Coil SumoSprings Helper Springs on a 2004 Ford Explorer
  • Yes, the # CSS-1125R Coil SumoSprings helper springs kit is designed to fit in the gaps on the strut coils on your 2004 Ford Explorer, but this kit is a set of 2 for the rear axle only. For the front axle, you would need kit # CSS-1094F. Take a look at the installation instruction links I am including for a clearer look at the way they will install.

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendations for a 2012 Mercedes Sprinter Motor Home
  • For your 2012 Mercedes Sprinter motor home, if it is a 2500 series I recommend the Timbren springs # TMBRSP25A. They will replace the existing bump stops. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. If you have a 3500 then go with the Timbren springs # TMBRSP35B with a capacity of 11,000 pounds. These also replace the existing bump stops. I have linked the instructions for this kit as well. Either kit will provide a more stable ride and help keep the vehicle level whil

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendations for a 2002 Toyota 4Runner Carrying a Dirt Bike
  • For your 2002 Toyota 4Runner, if it is 4-wheel drive I recommend the Timbren springs, # TTOR4R. These springs will not change the unloaded ride of the vehicle but you will notice less shock and side to side roll whether loaded or not. They will also keep the vehicle level when a load is present. If you have a 2-Wheel drive model I recommend the Super Springs SumoSprings, # CSS-1145R. These will also help keep the vehicle level when under load and you should not notice much if any difference w

  • Will Coil SumoSprings, # CSS-1094F, Raise the Ride Height on a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab
  • The Coil SumoSprings, # CSS-1094F, are designed to fit in the space between coil turns on the springs and would not change the ride height of your 2013 Dodge Ram 1500. We do offer SuperCoils, # SSC-50, that will increase the height by 3/4 inches. If you are looking for more lift than that you will want to look at lift kits. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

  • Suspension Enhancement to Level a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • Installing suspension enhancement will help to keep your vehicle level when it is loaded whether it be on just one side or throughout the vehicle. Since you are primarily having issues on the right side I recommend adding air bags in the rear using # AL60754. Air bags have more adjustability than springs alone so you can customize the amount of air to level the vehicle accordingly. For the front, as long as you have 4 wheel drive (there is no front option for 2 wheel drive models) I recommen

  • Will Installing Suspension Enhancement Prevent Spring Failure on a 2007 Toyota Tacoma
  • Adding suspension enhancement products like # SSA1 will prolong the life of the factory suspension (provided that it is in good working condition when the system is installed). But if you exceed the capacities of the truck and/or the suspension enhancement used then that is going to take its toll on the vehicle and could still lead to failure. What suspension enhancement does is assist the factory suspension so it does not have to work as hard. That is why it prolongs the suspension life. It

  • Will SuperSprings Suspension Stabilizer # SSA1MTKT Provide Lift to 2007 Nissan Frontier
  • The SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer # SSA1MTKT are not intended to increase the height of your 2007 Nissan Frontier. The stabilizer is meant to provide more support for your vehicle when carrying heavy loads in the cargo area or towing a trailer as well as protect your existing suspension and your brakes and tires. This product will maintain the stock height of your vehicle and the only way it should raise the height is if your vehicle is already sagging due to poor support due to h

  • Towing Suspension Recommendation for 2004 Toyota Tundra Towing 21 Foot 4000 lb Trailer
  • The best solution for reducing sag and safely towing your 21 foot, 4000 lb Heartland North Trails trailer with your 2004 Toyota Tundra would be to use a weight distribution system. When pulling a trailer, I recommend weight distribution over suspension enhancement. Suspension enhancement primarily suspends loads carried in the bed or cargo area of a vehicle. Weight distribution is called for when the rears of the vehicle sags because of the tongue weight applied to it. Before making a decisio

  • Suspension Enhancement for a 2000 Ford Crown Victoria
  • I did not know that having a sagging back end was cause to be pulled over. I know that some areas do have restrictions on how far off the pavement a vehicle can be. So first lets look at why the vehicle is sagging. If there is nothing in the trunk or back of the vehicle to weigh it down, and you have not modified it (like cutting the springs or used a lowering kit) then there is probably a problem with the suspension. If your 2000 Ford Crown Victoria uses rear air shocks, that could be the pr

  • Suspension System for a 2012 F-150 Crew Cab 6 Foot Bed and Tool Box with 700 Lbs Tools
  • The Super Springs additional leaf springs, # SSA28, would be the best option to add support and sway control to your existing OEM suspension, since you have a constant 700 lb load on your truck. This system will also help decrease the bouncing that you are getting when the vehicle suspension is temporarily unloaded because of a large bump or pothole. There would be no reason that you would have to remove the Timbren springs and they will be there for additional support at times when you have to

  • Suspension Enhancement for a Motor Home Built on a 2011 Ford F-53 Chassis
  • It sounds like you may want to first have the suspension components inspected because any enhancement product will need to be installed on a vehicle with good working suspension. For the front, I recommend going with a Firestone air bag system, # F2070, Having air bags will allow you to level the vehicle as needed. For the rear, the air bag kit is # F2170. This will fit as long as the distance from the outside of the frame to the inside of the tire is at least 8 inches. Using air bag

  • Method and Ease of Installation of SumoSprings Custom Rear Axle Helper Springs, part # SSR-335

Note also that these are intended for use with original factory springs; if aftermarket springs are installed on the vehicle then SuperSprings technical staff should be consulted prior to installation.

  • Ability of Coil Sumo Springs # CSS-1145R to Raise Ride Height of 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  • The Coil SumoSprings you mentioned, part # CSS-1145R will not change the ride height of your Grand Cherokee. They are meant to smooth the ride and help eliminate some sag caused by carrying heavy loads in the cargo area. In other words, the SumoSprings will not lift the vehicle, but will help resist against sag when the vehicle is under load. Various aftermarket lift kits are available in different heights. I would recommend doing a Google search on a lift kit for 2012 Grand Cherokee.

  • Firestone Work-Rite Spring Recommendation for a 2007 Chevy Silverado
  • I think the best suspension enhancement solution for your setup would be to get a Firestone Work-Rite Custom Helper Springs Kit # F8605. These work great to supply additional support for your rear suspension when towing heavy trailers but also do not affect unloaded ride quality. Anytime the total weight of your trailer is more than half of what your tow vehicle weighs a weight distribution system is recommended. A weight distribution system will distribute the weight from the trailer to the

  • Is There an Advantage to Installing 3000 lb SuperSprings over 2000 lb SuperSprings on a 2012 F-150
  • As long as the gross vehicle weight (GVW) of your 2012 Ford F-150 does not exceed 7,500 lbs, then you will be fine installing the 2,000 lb SuperSprings, # SSA5MTKT. The important thing to consider when you are choosing between the 2,000 lb SuperSprings or the 3,000 lb SuperSprings, # SSA28, is the GVW of your truck when it is fully loaded and hooked to your trailer. Your GVW will include the curb weight of the truck plus the weight of any passengers, cargo and the pin weight of your trailer.

  • Rough Ride when Towing a Gooseneck Trailer with a Ford F-350 Dually 4x4
  • A 4-wheel drive suspension will be stiff like you have said but I do not think that going to a 2-wheel drive set up would be beneficial because of the way the suspension travels on larger dually trucks. For a smoother ride you can try to increase the pin weight by moving more weight forward on the trailer. It sounds like there is not enough pin or tongue weight so it does not compress the suspension enough. Be sure to stay within the payload limits of the truck when increasing the pin weight.

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a Fleet of 2011 Chevy 3500 Express Vans
  • If your 2011 Chevy Vans are diesel models and cutaway models (service vehicles like ambulances or even RVs) then you can use the SuperCoils, # SSC-14 and it will help in reducing tire wear and wear of other components allowing them to last longer but it will not completely eliminate the problem. If your fleet does not have diesel and cutaway models then I recommend Timbren springs, # TGMFK15A. These springs will get stiffer and harder to compress the more weight is put on them so they will al
