Features to know about

Keep Your Truck Level and Stable: 1,500-lb Rear Suspension Support

Heavy trailers, campers, or bed loads can make the rear sag and throw off steering and braking. These SumoSprings Solo helper springs add up to 1,500 lbs of support at 50-percent compression to keep things level and steady. The microcellular urethane springs take pressure off your factory suspension so your ride stays controlled and your headlights stay aimed right even with extra weight in back.

Smooth Out Bumps and Shocks: Progressive Load Control

Rough roads and uneven cargo don’t have to make every trip a chore. These springs compress easily with light loads for soft engagement, then firm up as weight increases for solid support. That progressive load control keeps the ride comfortable when unloaded but gives serious backup when you’re towing or hauling heavy gear.

Side-by-side comparison showing SumoSprings Solo Helper Springs installed on a vehicle rear axle, one compressed under load and one uncompressed, demonstrating progressive suspension support and leveling function.

Stay Steady in Crosswinds and Turns: Independent Spring Action

Each spring works on its own to handle off-center loads and reduce body roll through curves. When a gust of wind or a sharp turn tries to push your truck around, the independent action keeps both sides planted. It helps control sway so handling feels more predictable and the truck stays balanced under load.

Count on Long-Term Durability: Urethane That Stands Up to Real-World Use

Built from tough microcellular urethane, these springs hold up in temperatures from -25°F to 200°F and resist oils, road salts, and UV rays. They compress vertically instead of bulging out to the sides, so they won’t get damaged near tight mechanical parts. With no air lines or pressure to manage, they stay maintenance-free mile after mile.

DIY Friendly Setup: Simple No-Drill Installation

Getting extra suspension support doesn’t have to be complicated. These helper springs are custom fit for your setup and install easily without drilling. Just bolt them in place using basic tools, and you’ve got dependable rear suspension help ready for hauling or towing right away.

Really helped my 2002 F-150 2WD (5000lb towing max) sag when hooked up to heavy trailers. When unloaded, the Sumos are about an inch below the axel, so unloaded ride is normal. Installation was fine--hardest part was getting the old bump stops off as the instructions weren't accurate for my model.

2025 Promaster 2500 159” wheelbase. Backed the van on couple 2” X 6 “ easier sliding under. Sprayed PB Blaster on top of bumper spring, using a 16” Channel Lock, easy off with the old. At that time I jacked the rear end to allow clearance. One side at a time. Took longer for set up then the job. I used the long bolt with two spacers. Have not drove yet, though looking for great results.

Glad to hear the install wasn't too bad, Michael! Definitely let us know how the ride is once you take it out for a drive! What are you using your Van for? The tires look pretty beefy.

This only pertains to the order, shipping speed, and install as I have not put a heavy load on these sumo Springs yet but I feel like that's a foregone conclusion based off the reviews already. The ordering process, the shipping, and the installation was unbelievably easy. I kept rereading the instructions thinking this can't be right because it was so simple. I looked at the YouTube video and realized it is that simple! So happy with the ordering process, the quality of the initial product I opened, and how simple it was to put on the jeep.

That is the beauty of SumoSprings! Super easy to install and once they're on you can forget they're there! Are you planning on towing something with your Jeep that you want extra support for?

@ClaireH yes Ms Claire. I plan to put a truck camper on the Jeep (that weighs in the 500-1000 lbs range). My payload is 1700 lbs so I know a camper of the weight will be significant my truck. Already ordered a stiffer rear anti-sway bar as well.

@Justin That sounds like a good plan! These SumoSprings plus the sway bar should be more than enough to handle the weight of your truck bed camper.

I put these on a 2013 Jeep JK (not lifted) that tows a 3000 lb trailer in rough terrain; Total game changer.

These replaced the anemic factory stops (which had completely disintegrated) and make it impossible to 'bottom out' on the dips and holes that use to beat up the suspension. I got nearly all of my vertical travel back and the vehicle now sits almost level under high tongue load.

They go on pretty easy. I suggest sliding in one side, and then using a wooden dowel and hammer to pop the other side in the stock receiver cup.

Highly recommended. These are a MUST if you are towing a trailer (with a medium sized SUV) of any significant weight or if you just want to be able to bounce hard without bottoming out your suspension. I am likely going to get the front suspension version now as well.
Wish I knew these existed sooner.

It arrived pretty promptly about 30 minutes later I had him installed. It took me longer to find the proper Tools. Never had to remove the tires or wheels the only time I had to jack it up was to put the helper springs and screw them down very easily install

Great product! Bought these for my 2000 7.3 f250. Didn't want something that is constantly active like ras or hellwig since my leaf springs are new and rated for 4k pounds. Installed these in 1 hr super simple only hard part was the factory bump stop on driver side was a pain. Didn't install the puck they give due to height of truck and I knew more or less at what point I wanted them engaging. I haul cattle to shows/ auctions or between pastures with my 24ft big bend and these things actually provided a smoother ride in my truck loaded then unloaded.they do a great job with the added support and are better than an overload spring with handling sway and providing a smooth ride loaded. Just wish I could use the 3k pound rated ones on this truck and my dually but doesn't fit if you have a gooseneck sadly so will probably have to go with timbs on the drw. Over all great product can't speak to longevity but solid for the time being. And customer service with this company is excellent if you have a question or problem they're on top of it...hope they pay them as well as the reputation they're building for them.

Thanks for the awesome feedback, Jeff! Love hearing that the install was a breeze and that you noticed such a big difference in handling, that’s exactly what you want after the upgrade. Really appreciate you sharing the photos too, it’s always fun to see the comparison.

I put a set of 47s on my Silverado 1500 and towed my dump trailer that weighed 6000 pounds the way I had it loaded for 50 miles on all kinds of roads and it worked well. I didn’t use the spacers and the truck still rides like it did before the install.

Glad the Sumos are helping make your loads easier to tow!

by:
Jeep Gladiator Mojave - swapped out the rear stock bump stops with these. High quality parts. Just jack up the truck enough to give you room to work with and put in your jack stands, no need to remove the wheels. I look forward to seeing how they do with towing! Hopefully I can update my review here afterwards. Check out the gap difference in the pictures. Should touch sooner during normal drive conditions and hopefully help reduce some trailer squat and help towing to be smoother.
by:
Opted for the Blue 1000lb Sumo's w/spacer over the 1500lb Black ones. 1500 Silverado Max Tow & reduces squatting by 2" on a 1000lb+ tongue weight. Ride is still good, but you can feel the Sumo's engage over large dips or bumps which is not an issue for me.

I got the springs installed last week and wanted to have a drive time before I wrote the review.

The height of the springs are perfect for my 2016 Tacoma, They keep the truck stable and nearly eliminate the body roll I had before installing them. I am heading to the mountains in a couple weeks, so I will update the review when I get back. That way I will know for sure the body roll is gone and the truck is stable on the winding mountain roads.

The springs installed in no time at all and since I had the rear end apart, I decided to add the leveling blocks at the same time, to keep the truck from squatting with the gear I haul around with me.

The guys at etrailer are great. And while I did not call them to discuss this item, they have been very helpful in the past with all my questions.

Below are pictures of before, a couple comparisons and after. Sorry if they come out sideways.

These Sumo Springs were a great addition to my Tacoma and well worth the money, IMHO.

The springs are working exactly as expect. I have need up to the mountains numerous times and to Monerary to the Sea Otter bike fest. They have reduced the body roll and helped keep the truck stable on the mountain roads or when loaded down for camping. Im very pleased I added these Sumo Springs to my Tacoma.

@Mike We LOVE to hear reports like this! I've never been to the Sea Otter bike fest, but I looked it up online and it looks pretty cool! How many times have you gone to it?
by:

Have Nissan NV 1500 (transit van).Loads and trailers were the problem-along with the constant "slouch" look-with no really heavy load on it. Hated that!
These used with "add-on leaf springs" made a world of difference.
Bumps being felt, are there, but nothing like before. These two things along with new shocks (all for back),has helped out so much!
So, the bumps have almost faded to "nothingness". Now granted, I have not hit a massive pothole, yet. I try to dodge those anyhow!
Components work great together!
by:
Got them installed no issues the reason for 4 stars is one side touches top of axle the other side does not no one could tell me if this was right or wrong also haven't pulled 5th wheel yet to feel the ride or handling so we will see thanks
by:
2024 Ford F-250 Super Duty
Definitely helps with squat on '24 F250 from boat trailer tongue weight. These do come with a plate to avoid uneven contact or wear.
I mounted using all spacers , stock is same unless speed bumps or large dips, u feel the stiffness/contact of sumo as expected. May take one spacer out .
Super easy to install , better than leaking bags.
Time will tell how they last

Glad to hear they are helping, Cory! If you are feeling them going over speed bumps, I think taking one of the spacers out is a good idea. Especially if that is happening when you are unloaded. Speaking of which, what are you towing?

I had installed this model SumoSpring on my 2019 4Runner and had great results when towing the camper I had at the time. They greatly reduce the bounce when going over dips in the road at highway speeds. Now I have a 2021 Titan and a bigger heavier camper. I expect the same great results on the Titan. Installation was pretty straight forward and took about a half hour. The size difference between the OEM bump stops and the SumoSprings alone should give a better ride when towing my camper.

I bought a 2027 RAM 1500 to tow my 20' 5000lb Forest River. Easy to install. I did it in my driveway in 1.5hrs. Some of the bolts were dificult to access due to mufflers etc but a short wrench worked well. When I first hooked up my trailer I had 4" of rear bed setelment. With springs installed I had less than 2". Front lift is about 1/2". Did not compromise driving comfort and appeared to dampen trailer "flex" on RxR tracks etc. My right handled very well on a trip from S Florida to N Georgia on Interstates and secondary roads.

by:

Had them installed and hooked up the trailer. Much improved support from sag due to tongue weight. Kept the vehicle very level to within 3/4" higher than front. Perfect rake and comfortable during unloaded or loaded driving. OEM bump stops really didn't do anything in comparison. Shop had to work a bit harder to get OEM stops off but install of these SomoSprinhs was simple. Glad I went this route.

I had the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs installed on my 2020 Nissan NV2500 camper van (rear axil) about 4 months ago and have been very happy with how they have performed.

  • Will the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Work On a Lowered 2006 Ford F-150 2WD
    The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System is not a good option for a lowered truck such as the 2006 Ford F-150. The reason for this is because as you mentioned the springs will ride on the contact point causing a very rough unloaded ride. That said, I do still have a solution to help with support on a lowered truck in the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-108-47. The SumoSprings unlike the Timbrens can be trimmed so that you have space between the spring and bump stop...

  • Large Gap Between Axle After Installing SumoSprings Solo Helper Springs On 2003 Ford F-150 2WD
    The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-108-47 which are a fit for a 2003 Ford F-150 4x2 are designed to have a gap between the axle and spring of around 1-1/2" while unloaded. If you have a greater distance then there's something not right with the suspension such as a lift kit etc. Unfortunately, there are no spacers to fill a greater distance for this kit. Therefore, you'd be left to either make some sort of spacer of your own or switch to another option like the SuperSprings...

  • Spacers for SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs
    We do have a 1" spacer for the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs, part # SSR-108-40. It's the Timbren 1" Spacer For Raised Frame Vehicles, part # A25723-90AH00. You can add these on top of the one that comes with Helper Springs to get you to that 2" mark. These are made specifically for Timbren suspension systems, but they work with the SumoSpring Solo Helper Springs. Just keep in mind that if you add this, you will need to replace the mounting bolt with a longer one, which you can...

  • What Is the Payload Capacity of a 2005 Ford F-150
    The maximum payload capacity for your 2005 Ford F-150 can be found on the tire label on the b-pillar or the edge of the driver’s door. Look for “THE COMBINED WEIGHT OF OCCUPANTS AND CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED XXX kg OR XXX lb.” as this will be you maximum payload capacity. I do not have an exact capacity for you unfortunately as it will vary based on all of the options your truck is equipped with.

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2001 Ford F-150 4WD
    SumoSprings does oddly enough exclude the 4WD versions of the 2001 Ford F-150 so you'd have to go a different route for suspension enhancement. Instead I would recommend the Roadactive kit part # RAS4622 as this will give you the adjustable support you are wanting, installs easily, and unlike other options improves handling and stability as opposed to making the ride quality harsher.
