Front Suspension Support

A heavy front load can cause front-end sag as your factory suspension compresses under the weight of the load. This means that the front axle is trying to support not only the extra load but also the weight of your vehicle. And because there is less weight on your rear axle, your rear tires make less contact with the road, which causes problems with traction, steering, and braking. SumoSprings upgrade your vehicle's factory suspension to level your vehicle, improve driving performance, and keep your ride comfortable.


Installed spring when it is not compressed

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. The closed-cell urethane material allows for smooth contact between the springs and your vehicle. And the springs act like a shock absorber to dampen road vibration.


Installed spring when it is compressed

The springs can also compress by as much as 80 percent to support a heavy front load and to help your factory suspension bear up under the load. This evens out the weight, which levels your vehicle and ensures that your rear tires are making better contact with the road. A level ride means that you have improved driving control, ensures safe headlight aim, and helps to minimize sway. The springs also support your factory suspension, which helps prevent sagging and reduces bottoming out.


The springs work independently from one another to support each side of your vehicle. This action helps to reduce body roll when you make a sharp turn. This also helps compensate for an off-center load.


Durable, Custom-Fit Springs

These microcellular urethane springs are tough. They resist abrasion, oil, salt, and UV rays that can more quickly wear out other springs, and they perform well in temperatures ranging from -25 F to 200 F (-33 C to 93 C).


SumoSprings compress vertically with minimum expansion to the sides, so they won't be damaged by nearby mechanical parts and they fit safely into tighter spots. And unlike air springs, SumoSprings require no maintenance or adjustment.


The helper springs are custom designed to fit your vehicle, and they install easily - no drilling required.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Sumo Springs for a 2022 Ford F-350 Dually
    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...

  • Front and Rear SumoSprings Kit for 2023 Thor Magnitude Built on F-600 Chassis
    For your 2023 Thor Magnitude built on a Ford F-600 chassis the correct SumoSprings kit you'd want is the part # SS54VR for the rear and part # SSF-111-54 for the front.

  • 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...

  • Recommended SumoSprings Front and Rear For a 2024 Thor Magnitude XG32 on 2023 Ford F-550 Chassis
    I recommend installing the SumoSprings Front # SSF-111-54 and Rear # SS54VR on your 2024 Thor Magnitude XG32. These are custom fit for your 2023 Ford F-550 cab and chassis to improve your ride quality and reduce body roll.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...
