When extra weight on the front end makes the ride dip or steering feel light, these SumoSprings helper springs take up the slack. With up to 1,000 lbs of support at 50-percent compression, they level your stance and help keep steering and braking consistent. The microcellular urethane absorbs bumps and shocks so the ride stays controlled even when carrying a heavy front load.
These springs adapt automatically to what you’re carrying. With lighter loads, they compress easily for a softer, more comfortable ride. As the load increases, they stiffen progressively—up to 80 percent compression—to give firm support when it’s needed most. That means steady handling without harshness whether you’re loaded down or running light.

Each spring works on its own to keep that side of the vehicle planted. This independent action helps reduce body roll in curves and keeps things balanced when loads aren’t perfectly centered. You’ll feel more stable on winding roads or when a gust hits you on the highway.
These helper springs are made from durable microcellular urethane that resists oil, salt, and UV rays. They perform reliably from -25°F to 200°F and compress vertically with minimal side expansion so nearby parts stay safe. There’s no air pressure to check or lines to run—just simple, no-drill installation and long-term dependability once they’re in place.

Speaker 1: Today, we're taking a look at the Sumo Springs custom helper springs for the front axle. This product fits a 1999 to 2004 Ford F250 and 350 Super Duty, as well as an F350, 450, and 550 cab & chassis. Now, to ensure that this is a fit for your vehicle, you can always use the vehicle fit guide at etrailer.com. These helper springs are designed to upgrade your vehicle's front suspension offering improved driver control and comfort, so they're really gonna help when it comes to supporting heavier front end loads.That's gonna help keep your vehicle level front to back. It's gonna help absorb bumps and road shocks and it's gonna help minimize that sway. Now, these do feature progressive load control.
What that means is that these springs will compress according to the weight of your cargo, so for lighters loads, the springs compress easily at first for soft engagement and a less bumpy ride. Heavier loads, they compress by as much as 80% from maximum support.The springs do work independently from each other to compensate for off-center loads, which again is gonna help reduce that body roll, especially during sharp turns or during heavy or strong crosswinds. They're made from a durable micro-cellular urethane. They work in temperatures ranging from -25 degrees Fahrenheit all the way to positive 200 degree Fahrenheit, and the strong material's designed to resist damage that's typically caused by oils, road salts, and UV rays.With these, you'll notice minimal later expansion, so that means these springs compress vertically instead of off to the side so they aren't easily damaged when operating in tight spaces. Another neat feature about this system is that it's completely maintenance-free, so there's no tubing to run or air pressure to monitor like when using air springs.
It's a simple no-drill installation. It comes with the mounting plate, comes with your hardware, detailed installation instructions. It uses pre-drilled attachment points on the frame of the vehicle. The springs are included, obviously, and the product's made in the USA.Weight capacity at 50% compression is 1000 pounds. Just always keep in mind that the Sumo springs will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity.
That's gonna do it for today's look at the Sumo Springs custom helper spring kit for the front axle.

Appreciate you leaving a review Austin, It's always nice when a product exceeds expectations and these springs have been highly rated. Are you typically off road or do you plan on towing?

30 Minutes for all 4?! That's got to be some kind of record, Dennis! Glad the process was nice and easy and I hope they serve you well. Let us know if you do end up needing to go to the heavier duty yellow option as well, we always like to get real life experiences from people. : ) Any more trips planned for the year?

That is awesome to hear! It must be such a relief to not have to put so much energy into controlling the wheel while driving now.

Wow is an understatement! It is like driving a different pickup. Greatly improve sway issues during windy day drives, much less vehicle lean in curves, and better overall ride with heavy loads. My Ford 350 supper duty is underload 98 of the time. We only use the Pickup when pulling trailer with an 100 gallon diesel pony tank.
