Features to know about

Stay Level and Confident Under Load: 2,800-lb Front Suspension Support

A heavy load up front can make steering feel light and braking less sure. These SumoSprings Solo helper springs add up to 2,800 lbs of support at 50-percent compression, helping your suspension stay level and steady under weight. The microcellular urethane cushions bumps and smooths out rough roads while keeping the front end from sagging so your handling and headlight aim stay consistent when loaded.

Smooth Ride, No Maintenance Needed: Progressive Urethane Design

Each spring is made from high-density microcellular urethane that compresses in stages as weight increases. Light loads engage softly for a smoother ride, while heavier loads are supported as the material compresses by as much as 80 percent. There’s no air pressure to monitor or tubing to run—just simple, maintenance-free performance every time you hit the road.

Stay Steady in Crosswinds and Turns: Independent Spring Action

When uneven pavement or side winds try to throw you off line, these springs work independently to keep each side stable. That means less body roll on corners, less sway when turning into driveways, and better control overall when the road gets unpredictable.

Built Tough for Real Conditions: Durable, Temperature-Resistant Construction

These springs stand up to the elements with high-density urethane that resists abrasion, oils, road salts, and UV rays. They perform in temperatures from -25 F to 200 F and compress vertically with minimal side expansion, protecting them from damage in tight spaces. It’s a rugged setup ready to handle real-world use for the long haul.

Quick DIY Setup: No-Drill Installation

Installing extra suspension support doesn’t have to take all weekend. These custom-fit jounce-style springs bolt into place without drilling, so you can get the upgrade done easily using basic tools. Once installed, you’re ready for a level ride that stays solid whether empty or loaded down.

@Billy We're glad to hear that your # SSF-111-54 SumoSprings are working well for you!


by:

Excellent product, really helps to stop roll in the rv body



by:

These are amazing! Softened the harsh ride substantially. Wish I'd found out about these earlier....



by:

Excellent, quick delivery, easy installation!! Thanks for another wonderful purchase.



by:

Great price. Fast shipping



by:

etrailer Great products you want find a better product. Fast turnaround too



by:

Excellent service and super fast shipping. I love working with these guys because it is one less thing I have to worry about. Thank you.



by:

Extremely easy install! You will definitely have to have a floor Jack, there is no muscling the spring in without raising the frame.



by:

ordered the wrong size initially but after talking to a rep from SumoSprings and realizing my mistake I was able to exchange them for the appropriate size for my needs. Customer service was excellent, and they make a huge difference with the plow on without serious effects to the ride.



by:

when I received these front springs ( The rear are on back-order until freak'n March) having never used these things, the instructions say "take them apart" nowhere does it say "to get them apart, TWIST the adaptor plate off" ~~~ I guess Im not smart enough to figure THAT out. Installation looks super simple, when I get the stern springs installed, in a month, I'll write another, more detailed review. But for those who have never encountered this product, when you get them, TWIST (unscrew) the adaptor plate



by:

These 1ton trucks are heavy, I went with the 8k front sumo springs. If you're lookingto soften up your ride all I can say from my experience, get you the medium to light rated sumo springs. I installed the timbren bump stops in the rear because I haul freight for a living & the front 8k sumo springs are overkill. When you hit good dips or bumps in the road its a ricochet effect.



by:

I love these Sumo “springs”. eTrailer never disappoints me. I had Stoops in Lafayette Indiana install them for me. I knew when I left the parking lot I was going to like them. Side to side sway is gone. Potholes are a slight bit harsher but is a small price to pay for the MUCH better handling I now have.

Working great after one year.



by:

Straight forward, simple, replacement for OEM springs. These springs make contact with the lower arms all the time and definitely help dampen the bounce effect from a heavier steel bumper. Any rolling effect from uneven roadways and turning is also reduced, it feels the vehicle is more stable. For my situation, this is the first step to take before considering replacing shocks, etc., and is very economical. I'll give it more time, but I believe this is all I'll need to do. Thanks etrailer! Quick shipping!

Product still doing its job! These should have been the OEM standard when the vehicle was new. Local truck only driving, long road trips with cargo trailer and weightrough roads, all in between, these springs definitely make the ride better.



by:

I was unable to install them. I couldn't get enough droop to get them in place. I would have to disconnect both shocks and one sway bar link. Too much work. Returned them.



by:

Just got the sumosprings put on my 2017 f250, took it for a short drive the ride seemed better then it was with the factory bump stops. I also put on a set of timbern super duty bump stops earlier. I really like this product, truck rides nice and doesn’t sag when I hookup to my 14000 pd catering trailer when fully loaded. Both products well definitely make my truck ride better.

  • Sway Bars And Sumo Springs For 2024 Omni Class C Motorhome On Ford F550 Diesel Chassis
    Hello Bill, thanks for reaching out. Adding front and rear sway bars to your 2024 Omni Class C Motorhome will help a lot with stability, sway and overall ride quality. Sadly, Roadmaster does not offer a steering stabilizer for your vehicle, but we do have sway bars and sumo springs. Here is what I recommend for the Ford F550 Diesel chassis: - Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar - 1-3/4" Diameter # RM35VR - Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar - 1-3/4" Diameter # RM23ZR - SumoSprings Solo Custom...

  • Rear Sway Bar and SumoSpring Kit for 2011 Itasca Cambria to Improve Handling
    Hey David, actually what is going to make the biggest improvement in handling and stability for your 2011 Itasca is an upgraded rear sway bar with the part # RM-1139-175. I know that's not what you asked about but for motorhomes where most of the weight is out back the rear sway bars make a huge improvement. You won't see much of a difference going to a different steering stabilizer. This is also true for SumoSprings. A rear set like the part # SSR-118-54 with the rear bar will make a...

  • What Complete Air Bags Can I Control from the Cab of My 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty with In-Bed Hitch
    Since you are transporting a fifth-wheel trailer, I assume you are looking for rear-axle air bags. We only carry Firestone-brand Ride Rite air bags that will work with 4-wheel drive models of 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duties with an in-bed hitch. That is the Firestone Rebel # F95FV. Apart from the 7,500-pound load-leveling weight capacity, the springs help prevent sagging while towing. They are also 100% made in the U.S.A. As far as compatibility, these air bags work with a fifth-wheel hitch...

    Hey Art! Definitely sounds like you've got quite a bit of weight on the rear end of your F-350. I have a couple of options for you but I'll need you to verify something for me before ordering. If your truck has a bump stop perch over the axle and does not 3" block inside the leaf springs, then I recommend the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs item # SSR-128-47-2. These have a 5,000 lbs capacity and will definitely upgrade your suspension. If you don't have a bump stop perch you'll...

  • Best Air Bag Kit For 2022 Ford F350 Diesel DRW With 6,000 lb Truck Camper
    Hello Sivan, thanks for getting in touch. Adding air bags is definitely a good call if you are unhappy with your Timbrens. The air bags will allow you to fine-tune the suspension to the perfect mix of ride leveling and ride quality. Then you can also retain the factory ride when you aren't hauling your camper. The 7500 kit is definitely the way to go, and for that I recommend the following: - Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL86KV This is made specifically...

  • Front Suspension Support Recommendation for Service Body 2025 Ford F-250
    Hey Lee, yes the SuperCoils kit part # SSC-30 that you referenced would be what you are looking for to give the front suspension of your the additional support you need to prevent bottoming. I'd try these and if you still want more support I'd then also add the SumoSprings kit part # SSF-111-54 for additional support.

  • Will SumoSprings Lift the Front End of a 2017 Ford F-350
    Because the SumoSprings # SSF-111-54 will always be engaged on your 2017 Ford F-350 the stock suspension will not compress as much as it normally would. This will give you the feeling that there is lift though it isn't actually lifting anything it is just preventing the normal amount of stock suspension compression. You could go with a softer spring set, # SSF-111-40, which would allow the stock suspension to compress more than the heavier duty SumoSprings.

  • Recommended Sumo Springs Suspension Enhancement for 2020 Ford F250 Carrying Slide In Camper
    Unless you're using your truck to plow snow, most folks don't need suspension enhancement at the front. If you are pushing snow, the # SSF-111-54 with a 2800 lb capacity would work great. For the rears, I'd recommend # SSR-128-47-2 for 4 wheel drive trucks or # SSR-129-47-2 for 2 wheel drive trucks for a 4600 lb capacity. These will do a great job of handling any slide-in camper your F250 would be rated to carry. You can see product description videos for the items I recommended by clicking...

    Hey Fred, for your 2021 Thor Magnitude BH35 built on a Ford F-550 chassis the correct front SumoSprings kit would be the part # SSF-111-54 and then for the rear you would want the part # SS54VR. We don't have a steering stabilizer for your chassis though. Have you thought about sway bars at all?

  • Recommended SumoSprings Front Helper Springs for RV on 2018 Ford E-450 Cutaway Van Chassis
    The only front SumoSpring options for the 2018 E-450 cutaway van chassis are the # SSF-106-47 which offers 1000 lbs of support or the # SSF-106-40 for 500 lbs of support. Since your RV likely has a cabover which adds weight to the front of the RV, I'd recommend going with the heavier-duty # SSF-106-47 option. The SumoSprings # SSF-111-54 you'd looked at are for a F-450 pickup, and wouldn't fit the Cutaway Van chassis your RV is built upon. I've linked to an installation video you might...

  • Will SumoSprings Kit that Fits 2018 Ford F-250 Reduce Suspension Sag When Towing Fifth Wheel
    For your 2018 Ford F-250 the SumoSprings kit part # SSF-111-54 that you referenced would be engaged if the tow vehicle had 2 inches of suspension sag at the rear of it. The spring would begin to make contact and engage at around 1/2 inch of suspension compression which means this kit would give you excellent suspension support and greatly reduce the sag you have now. Handling and ride quality will also improve as well.

  • Front Helper Springs for a 2022 Ford F-450 Chassis RV
    Yes, we do have front SumoSprings for your 2022 Ford F-450 RV Chassis. I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs item # SSF-111-54. These are our highest capacity helper springs. At 2,800 lbs these will help support heavy front-end loads to keep your RV level. These 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.

  • Front Suspension Enhancement For A 2011 Ford F-350 With A 2" Lift
    We do have a potential option for you, but since your 2011 Ford F-350 has a 2" lift, you really will not be able to use a SumoSpring kit. The 2" lift will likely create too much of a gap and the spring would have little to no effect on the front suspension. Since there are no lift spacer available for SumoSprings, this really is not a practical option. What I recommend instead is the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TFF350SDC. You can use a few 1" spacers # TA25723-90AD00...

  • Suspension Enhancement that Can Fit 2006 Ford Super Duty with 6 inch Lift
    I have a solution for you, but SumoSprings does not have lift spacers like what are needed when installing their kits on lifted vehicles. So the best option for your 2006 Ford Super Duty would be Timbren kit part # TFRTT350F which gives you the same style of support but they offer spacer kits that you can use like with the # A25723-90AH00 for every inch of lift you have. Typically a 6 inch lift is really only a 4 lift of actual suspension increase so you'd need most likely a total of 8...

  • Helper Springs for 2012 Forest River Georgetown RV
    If your 2012 Forest River Georgetown was built on a Ford F-550 chassis the SumoSprings I recommend are Custom Helper Springs # SSR-118-54 for the rear axle and # SSF-111-54 for the front axle. These springs compress under loads to give you a smoother ride while also working to minimize the amount of back-and-forth movement you'll encounter. The springs will not require any type of drilling for the installation, and you will not have to perform maintenance on them; they simply replace your...
