SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle
These Sumo Springs were easy to install, even for a 70 year old guy. I tow a 7,000lb camper and even tho I have a nice WDH I still had som sag on my Tundra. These helped level it out when towing and got rid of “some” of the bounce. They were really a godsend when I overloaded the bed with about 2,000lbs of pavers. That weight squished the Sumos significantly but the truck drove and rode great. Better and less expensive than air bags.
This is the second pair if SumoSprings I have bought. The first pair of springs were Great coming my truck level with support trailering a 26 ft RV. My first truck was totaled last October by a bad driver. I just bought enough pair SumoSpring in another truck to haul and support a big weight. Thanks, Bruce Forejt

Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension - Front or Rear Axle
Initial reaction is positive - I installed front and rear sumo helper springs yesterday (5-23-19) and did a test drive around the block. The side to side pitching of our Transit Class B+ motorhome was greatly reduced. I still need to test on highway. I did not install the optional spacers that increase the ride height and reaction time of the rear sumo springs. The spacers will be added later if needed.
Just finished installing these on my 2014 Ford Expedition EL Limited. Very easy to install. Never removed the wheel to install. Jacked the vehicle up one side at a time and did the install. Haven't hooked to my 30ft camper yet to see how they work. Will update after my trip in July.

Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle
Exactly what I needed, work great, Thank You etrailer.com!
They work good put 20000 miles on car and have no issue. The squeak a little once in awhile but only noticeable when window down. They are much easier to put on with car jacked up and tire off.

Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear
Great bang for the buck and I had no problems installing myself along with new rear shocks. I had my doubts, but we just completed a 2 week trip fully loaded and towing our popup camper, and they still held 22 psi after all that (started with just under 30 psi so no real leaks!). Definitely improved the ride height and overall handing in all conditions.
Just installed my new set of air bags (AL60815 Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs) on my 2008 Odyssey. I purchased this model as a replacement to the previous air bags (F4179 Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs) that I purchased from etrailer four years ago. I had to replace them because this winter one of the push on fittings broke off one of the air bags. I have been using those air bags for four years towing my 2200 lbs tent trailer. The only complaint I had was that sometimes air would seep out after towing for a few hours. I suspected it was from the push on fittings. That was the reason I choose this model as they have barb fittings and spring clamps. Very positive connections and tight fits. Installation was very easy as all the holes in the tables were already done from the last install. 1. Somethings to keep in mind, if your shocks are a few years old consider changing them at the same time. 2. Remember to support the table with a jack while removing and installing the retaining bolt for the table. Failure to do that will damage the threads on the bolt and rapidly decompress the spring. 3. When drilling the hole in the table don’t rush. Centering the hole so the valve on the air bag does not force against the edge is very important. Luckily there is a template in the instructions booklet. 4. Running the air line to the passenger side bag can be done through the center cross member. I mounted my valve inside the van to keep it clean and out of the way. Using the tee to connect both bags to a single valve will facilitate inflation and ensure they are both at the same pressure. I will be ordering another set of these air bags when I replace this Odyssey with a newer model in a few years. Kit is very complete. All the parts I needed and did not have to run to the auto parts store. Didn't use the heat shield because where I ran the line it is protected from the exhaust pipe.

Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System
Installing the new Timbrens was pretty straight forward. The existing stops came of real easy. I was not able to fully seat the new stops just by hand and using soapy water. I did use some 2x4s as suggested as a block, and then the original stops as a block to fully seat the new Tembrens. These are for supporting a 450 lb truck topper and future gear and accessories that I will be installing on a 2016 Ram 1500 Quad Cab with 6'4" bed, so I haven't had the chance to test how they perform.
I have purchased these twice, from e-trailer, for a Ram 2500 and have used the second set on two different Ram 1500’s. These are an outstanding investment and purchase. Your return on investment and satisfaction is going to happen. Truck suspensions sag. The factory bum stops are not meant to aid the sag or help with that awful look of your truck looking weak and feeling the load. Installation is easily done anywhere for the 1500’s. Literally anywhere. My 2500 I needed a little more appropriate shop venue but still no professional needed. I highly recommend this addition to your vehicle. I would add this before you look at trailer sway devices and air suspension products. Good luck to you and thank you E-trailer and Timbren.

Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle
After ordering these brackets twice, I still had to make an alteration and cut tabs off of them After doing research on this, I found out that they were for a 2011 to 2016 pick up truck not a 2002. The part number 2550 is the same between the two pick ups. I don’t know how you would differentiate to get the right one for a 2002 F250.
After emails with firestone, in which many disagreements came to light. My vehicle is a 2002 f350 dually Crew cab 8ft bed, completely stock no alterations at all. First issue was the emergency brake Cable was in the way. I rerouted the cable sent photos to firestone. The person in which I communicated with, stated that my brake line was not stock OEM. The emergency brake cable was the issue not brake line and the person at firestone doesn't know the difference between brake cable and line. In the photo sent showed my rear brake line that was just replaced and it was shiny. The brake line replacement was OEM. The brake line was not an issue at all. I have photos showing how we had to modify the firestone air bags set up. I welded straight to the axle. The bags will work now after hours of mods....if anyone else has a vehicle like the one stated above please let them know mods will be required. This isn't my first issue with firestone air bags. I had to prove to firestone that I had a pin hole in a seam on a air bag. I had to submerge the air bag in water, take a video and send it to them. They did send a replacement after a while. Just had to say this.......

RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit
Overall, very happy with the product. GMC didn't have any way to improve the truck from squatting when I hooked up my trailer. This kit didn't stop the squatting but significantly reduced the bounce on bad dips in roads, bridge/road transitions and bad railroad crossings.
The bed of the truck measured 37.5" with a tool box weighing 200 lbs. The truck felt weighed down with passengers weighing 600lbs. Total weight 800lbs with a tank full of gas. After the install the truck rides smoother and certainly " like new". The stopping distance and acceleration distance have shortened drastically. I'm planning on loading up the bed and the Roadmaster Active Suspension RAS4611. My wife even drive it and she could feel the difference. "It drives like a muscle car." Buy it. Install time at a reputable mechanic shop was a 30 min. Install. I received them today at 1 pm and got it installed at 3:00 pm and finished the install at 3:30pm. It's an investment worth the price over traditional air bag system. Mechanic installed this on 2011 Nissan Titan SV.

Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear
I added this kit to my 2005 Chevy Tahoe Z71 last year (2023). This kit was exactly what I needed to compliment my already installed, upgraded Bilstein shocks to help me tow a Camaro on a car hauler trailer from Colorado to Florida. I kept the bags inflated to 30-35psi the entire trip. I experienced no bag leakage, sag, sway, or bounce while towing. After the haul to Florida, I have kept the bags/kit in place with the bags regularly kept at 5-10psi. This has stiffened up the rear end nicely (not too much) as a daily driver hauling kids, sports equipment, tools, etc. without any issues. Intial install took about 2 hours as the most difficult part was feeding each bag through/inside the rear coil springs and making sure of no pinch points on the bags. I would recommend this kit as the materials, instructions and support from etrailer with videos, pics, and reviews (if needed), are top notch! Thank you etrailer!
Put these on 07 tahoe. I pull a camper and put 400lbs of tools in back of tahoe. With just the tools I noticed it help put more weight on front wheels. I have not pulled camper yet but with just the minimum 5lbs of pressure it helped with the tools. It took me about 4 hrs to install by myself on the ground. The hardest part was getting it pushed into the coil springs. I ended up using a ratchet strap to help push it in. It was fun trying to get the hose connected afterward, could not see, had to feel and take a picture to make sure it was fully seated.

SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle
Drastic difference from stock bump stops. eliminates almost all extra highway sway/around turns. Beware- - is less than common for the nut that is welded in place that these thread into, breaks free and requires to be cut out via east hacksaw/flush cut. Sumo springs brand send me new, required after, nuts that made install no prob. Apparently this doesn’t happen every time? If I would have know this, I would have ordered the new nuts, just in case. Ask sumosprings about this for more info maybe? But for the price, any van carrying weight/camper needs these!
It was exactly what I ordered.
