A heavy front load like a plow or winch can make the nose of your vehicle dip and throw off steering and braking. These SumoSprings Solo helper springs add up to 1,000 lbs of support at 50-percent compression to keep your ride level and steady. They absorb bumps and shocks while helping your factory suspension handle extra weight so your steering feels confident and your headlights stay aimed where they should.
Not every trip carries the same weight, and these springs adjust as the load changes. With lighter loads, they compress easily for soft engagement and a less bumpy ride. When the weight increases, they can compress by as much as 80 percent to add firmness and support. The progressive design means you get comfort when driving light and stability when things get heavy—all without needing to adjust or monitor air pressure.
When uneven loads or sharp corners try to push you around, each spring works on its own to keep both sides balanced. This independent action helps reduce body roll through turns and compensates for off-center loads, keeping the vehicle more stable whether you’re maneuvering through curves or driving into a side wind.
These helper springs are made from tough microcellular urethane that resists abrasion, oils, road salts, and UV rays. They hold up in temperatures from -25 F to 200 F and compress vertically with minimal side expansion so they won’t get damaged in tight spaces. With a simple, no-drill installation and no air lines or maintenance to worry about, they’re ready for years of dependable front-end support.

Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the SumoSprings solo custom helper springs for the front axle. This product fits a 2000 to 2005 Ford Excursion. To ensure that it is a fit for your vehicle, you could always use the vehicle fit guide at etrailer.com. Now, the helper springs upgrade your vehicle's front suspension for improved driver control and comfort. They really help support heavy front-end loads to keep your vehicle level. They help absorb bumps and shocks and they help minimize sway.
These springs feature progressive load control so the springs actually compress according to the weight of your cargo. So for instance, on lighter loads the springs compress easily at first for soft engagement and a less bumpy ride.And then for heavier loads, the springs compress by as much as 80% for maximum support. Now, these springs work independently from each other to compensate for off-center loads which really helps reduce body roll during sharp turns. They're made from a durable microcellular urethane. They're designed to work in temperatures anywhere from -25-degrees Fahrenheit to +200-degrees Fahrenheit.
And the unique construction really helps resist damage that's typically caused by oils, road salts and UV rays. Now, with these installed, they feature minimal lateral expansion so these springs compress vertically instead of off to the side so they aren't easily damaged when operating in tight spaces.The best feature about the system is once they're installed you don't have to worry about them. They're maintenance free. There's no tubing to run. There's no air pressure to monitor like with air springs and it's a simple no-drill installation.
Everything needed for installation is included so you get detailed installation instructions to walk you through the whole process step-by-step. You get two springs and you get the necessary brackets or off-set plates. You get the necessary hardware and you get a tube of Loctite that gets applied to the threaded portion of the plates.The plates are made from steel and they feature a really nice, powder-coated finish so they don't rust or corrode. The product is made in the U.S.A. When it comes to the weight capacity at 50% compression, that's 1000 pounds.
Just keep in mind that SumoSprings will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. That's going to do it for today's look at the SumoSprings solo custom helper springs for the front axle.

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.

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?
