Features to know about

Stay Level and in Control: Up to 1,000 lbs of Front-End Support

A heavy front load like a plow or winch can pull the nose down and throw off your steering and braking. These SumoSprings helper springs add up to 1,000 lbs of support at 50-percent compression to keep your ride level and steady. They help your factory suspension handle the extra weight so you maintain traction, confident steering, and correct headlight aim.

Smooth Out the Rough Stuff: Progressive Load Control

Bumps and dips don’t have to beat you up when the road gets rough. The microcellular urethane springs compress easily with lighter loads for a soft, comfortable ride, then stiffen under heavier weight for solid support. That progressive action keeps things smooth when you’re light and stable when you’re loaded.

Stay Steady in Crosswinds and Turns: Independent Spring Action

When a curve or crosswind tries to shift your weight, these springs work independently to keep each side planted. They cut down on body roll and sway so your vehicle feels more controlled through corners or uneven ground, even with an off-center load up front.

Built Tough for Real-World Conditions: Durable Microcellular Urethane

These springs are made from microcellular urethane that resists abrasion, oil, salt, and UV rays while performing in temperatures from -25 F to 200 F. They compress vertically with minimal side expansion, fitting safely into tight spaces without damage from nearby parts. No air lines or pressure checks needed—just simple, maintenance-free performance that lasts.

Simple to Add On: No-Drill Installation

Getting extra front-end support doesn’t have to mean major work. The custom-fit design installs easily with no drilling required, letting you upgrade your suspension quickly using basic tools so you can get back to hauling or driving without complicated setup.

2006 Dodge Ram Pickup
2006 Dodge Ram 3500 SRW 5.9 Cummins 4x2
Original bump stops were dry rotted and almost not existent. Very easy install. Took about 30 minutes. The Sumo springs are engaged all the time. This may be due to the truck being a 4x2? You can feel the front end is stiffer over bumps and dips of the road, which I feel is ok and not extreme. Towing the 5th wheel I feel the truck handles better than before.
by:
2005 Dodge Ram Pickup
Please see the attached before and after photos of the installed SumoSprings jounce bumpers on my son's 2005 Dodge Ram 2500. As you can see the OEM jounce bumpers were just about completely gone. The SumoSprings jounce bumpers are close to making contact with the upper jounce pads. There is a noticeable improvement in the "ride" with the new bump stops installed.
by:
2010 Ram 2500
Easy to install rides a lot better with no more bottoming out. Truck sits a little bit higher in the front end and looks good. Will probably settle after putting some miles on her. Smooth roads great ride some rough roads rides a little harsh. It's a 2500 HD with a diesel what else can you say. Overall a very good product a lot better than stock mounted bump stops. Give it a 9 out of 10.

Product is great, exceeded my expectations. Install is simple and straightforward. It’s a night and day difference in both the body roll and the handling small bumps all the way up to off-road conditions.

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?

by:
What most new RV owners don't know is that the chassis that their new mobile home sits on barely has the equipment to support that new home. Adding SumpSprings is going to improve your ride and help support the structure of your home. FYI, use a jack on the leaf springs to help align the holes on the bracket to the ones on the frame.

Super easy to install maybe 30 minutes for all 4
Fronts were done from above with wheel turned full right or left and load off that side with jack,rears jack to take off load only used large flat head screw drive to remove replace

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?

2018 ford F-250 Super Duty
eTrailer made the choice easy by offering advise on options and applications. Installation was also quite simple, though the directions were a little too simple. However, I was able to determine once installed prior to final torque, that the top plate could be rotated to align the helper springs with the corresponding flat plate on top of the differential/axel perch. Honestly, with daily driving if there is a difference I cannot tell, which is a GOOD thing. My F250 Powerstroke diesel, like most others, unladen has a firm ride. I did not want it to be more so. My 2018 does not fit in my garage not even close. So outside 24/7 since purchase, the OEM bumpstops at all 4 corners needed to be replaced and I wanted to upgrade them. These are quality no-maintenance bumpstops, and did not require any additional spacers to fit properly with my 2-2.5 inch leveling spacers. Paired with the Timbren SES for the rear, my Super Duty is set for all of my needs, including light to medium hauling / towing, for the foreseeable future. A huge shout-out to all of the people I spoke with for both purchases - thank you for all of your advise and assistance!!! eTrailer will most certainly be a first-stop should I need help with anything else I may need from all of their other and quite expansive upgrades for my rig.

I have a Workhorse W22 chassis. I installed steering dampeners and HD sway bar to reduce the "loose" steering. After installing the SumoSprings Front Spring helpers on the front end, 90% of the looseness on the front end disappeared. It is now a pleasure to drive. Very little sway from passing trucks and cross winds. I will be installing a set on the rear this 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.

2018 Thor Freedom Elite Motorhome
I recently purchased/installed SumoSprings for the front axle on my 2018 Thor Freedom Elite 28FE. Having previously purchased/installed SumoSprings for the rear axle I have to say that the overall improvement in ride/handling has exceeded my expectations. As always, etrailer provided valuable insights and prompt inquiries to my questions. The level of in-depth product knowledge amongst the etrailer staff is second to none. Thanks etrailer!
by:
Ordering and delivery was quick and easy. The SumoSprings really improved the ride of our C Class RV. The only problem was one of the springs had cross threaded threads so I had to tap the treads to make it work. They were delivered in a plain brown box with no manufacture information or instructions. It makes believe the were a returned item, the previous purchaser couldn't get them to work either. I just had the tools and skill to correct the problem.
by:
These Sumo springs (as well as the ones I purchased for the rear of my RV) installed easily, fit perfectly and do a great job reducing vibration and improving ride quality. Very pleased.

Installed front Sumosprings yesterday but have not driven vehicle yet. The front have full contact with the A-frames.
Should help with van side-to-side sway
.
Shopping around for a set to install on the rear as well.

2022 Winnebago Navion Motorhome
I’ve made several purchases from eTrailer and have been satisfied every time! Recently bought front and rear Sumo helper springs. Installation was a breeze. They have helped reduce the side to side sway caused by wind, freeway traffic and rough roads. So far im very happy with them.
by:
2019 Chevrolet Express Van
Installed Sumo Springs on my 2019 Chevy 4500 motorhome, I was looking for ride improvement without breaking the bank. These days so many products are marketed well but never match the performance that was promised. That is not the case with Sumo Springs!!! I am very pleased with the ride improvement, sway is gone when transitioning from different levels of pavement and the shock of bumps is 50% better!! Installed myself on front and back in about 1 hour, front ended up about 3/8” higher after a couple days, got front end alignment done but didn’t need any adjustment. Finished a 400 mile road day today and my wife and I are very pleased. Excellent product!!

That's awesome to hear, Edwin! Where did you head off to?

these look like the perfect thing for my tired old helper springs, I put SumoSprings on my rear axel of my Jeep a year ago and the have made that ride much better hoping for the same with these.

Sumo springs greatly reduced body sway on my 2021 Mercedes Sprinter.
by:
2009 Winnebago Adventurer Motorhome
Have not had a chance to install yet but seem to be a lot better than what was on my RV. One thing I have noticed is the old part screws into a nut welded on the frame and the new SumoSpings bolt is to small to use the welded nut. So installation would be a lot easier if you could just screw it in.
by:
Sumo Springs really helped with the bumps in the front of the 2019 Ford E350 Winnebago! Very happy with them. Super easy install even though a bit awkward to reach the spot.
by:
Very easy installation. Would be nice if they were about 2” longer to get contact sooner but they were a good replacement for the hollow stock bump stops.
by:
Springs arrived on time without any damage. Installation was completed in about a half hour with a 10mm socket, 3” extension and ratchet to remove the stock bump block on our Ford E450. Then just thread the Sumo Spring in place of the removed block. This was the easiest upgrade I’ve done so far.
by:
Put these on a Sprinter and what a positive difference they made. One can still feel the poor shape of our roads but no more jarring as was the case before. Definitely worth it.
by:
toyota Tacoma
Springs are good, working well. My Tacoma is stock (no lift). With the front end jacked up and wheel/tires totally suspended I was not able to get the springs mounted. I had to cut off about 1/4 inch of threads to get them into position to screw then in. Once that was done everything was ok.
by:
gmc Sierra
Installation in a 2022 Sierra 2500HD was easy, used large Channel locks to remove factory, new ones popped in by blocking them with wood wedge while vehicle was jacked up and releasing jack quickly so all weight would come down at once.
Only have aprox 100 miles on new Bump Stops but ride feels smoother as they are engaged at rest, unlike factory that engage on bumps. Need more miles to fully review.

It was a great investment. It truly helped with the front end bouncing. I look forward to adding a set to the rear.

@Deborah Glad to hear it! Whenever you decide to throw some SumoSprings on the back of your 2004 Workhorse W-Series chassis you'll be looking for the Kit # SSR-280-54-1.

  • What Replacement Spring For 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 RWD
    I can see why this might be confusing, because they definitely look narrow. I spoke with my contact over at SuperSprings and even though they may not look like a fit, they do consider the SuperSprings # SSC-12 a fit for the 2007 Ram 2500 2wd diesel models. This spring actually creates a 2" lift compared to the stock coils and is designed for winter service vehicles. For what it's worth, when I asked about differences that might occur on a 2007.5 Ram 2500, he mentioned that the 2008 also...

  • Will Adding Front And/Or Rear Suspension Enhancement Affect The Warranty On A 2022 Ram 2500?
    Adding just rear suspension enhancement will definitely help, but if you will be keeping the camper in the bed of your 2022 Ram 2500 full time, it is a good idea to get the front supplemented as well. With that said, the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-301-47 is rated up to 1,000 pounds of capacity, at 50% compression, and will help with sway and absorb bumps and shocks. To further this, you can also add the Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM47VR. This will really...

  • Recommended Front-Mount Hitch for Using Rage Hitch Dirt Bike Carrier on 2017 Ram 2500
    Both front-mount hitches we have for your 2017 Ram 3500 Mega Cab, Draw-Tite # 65063 and Curt # C31067, share the same 500-lb vertical load rating (the same as a tongue weight rating) which is downward force on the hitch, so the choice really just depends on whether or not your truck has the factory tow hooks. If so, go for the Draw-Tite # 65063 which is shown in the linked video. If not go for the Curt # C31067. The hitch's capacity must be enough for the combined weight of the motorcycle...

  • SumoSprings Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2016 Ram 3500
    The SumoSprings part # SSR-302-54 that you mentioned are indeed a confirmed fit for your 2016 Ram 3500 dually. This will fit whether you have a 4 wheel drive or a 2 wheel drive. For the front you would want the part # SSF-301-47. This will only work for 2 wheel drive models though.

  • Front Suspension Enhancement for a 2013 Ram 2500HD Using a Snowplow
    There are several products that you could use to enhance the front suspension on your 2013 Ram 2500. For a 4-wheel drive model you could use SuperCoils, # SSC-22 rated for 2,600 pounds or # SSC-23 rated for 5,000 pounds. For a 2-wheel drive model you could use SumoSprings # SSF-301-47. These are great for snowplows but using them is going to increase the ride height by 2-1/2 inches. The stiffer springs also will not have the bouncing problem you are experiencing with the air bags.

  • Front Axle Suspension for 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 With 2WD
    There is a front axle suspension enhancement available for your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 with 2WD but the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TDF25004B is designed to work on 4WD trucks; I checked with Timbren to confirm this. Instead of the Timbrens I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSF-301-47 which will help cushion your Ram's front suspension and also compress if you add weight such as a snowplow. They work independently to reduce your truck's body roll when...
