• Will the SumoSprings TSS-106-40 Fit a Trailer with 5-1/2 Inches Between the Leaf Spring and Frame
  The SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs part # TSS-106-40 will fit your trailer even though you only have 5-1/2" of space between the top of the leaf spring stack and the bottom of the trailer frame. The overall height of the kit 7-3/4" (Spring 5" + Bracket 2-3/4") will exceed your measurements but what you can do is take a bread knife and cut one or two of the coils off the SumoSprings until they will fit under the frame. SuperSprings came to our facility for training and said that there...

• Will SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs Help With Trailer Bottoming Out
  Instead of replacing your leaf springs, the best solution for the issue you are having bottoming out is the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs # TSS-106-40. The reason is these will sit on the leaf spring and take the brunt of the capacity and cushion the ride, but you do need to have 7-1/2 inches of space from the leaf spring to the trailer frame. Otherwise, if you don't have that amount of space the best option would be to mount the leaf springs on top of the axle, and for that...

• How To Fix 2019 Vanleigh Vilano 5th Wheel Trailer Leaning To One Side
  It is indeed sometimes common for a travel trailer to lean more to one side even when new as that side usually has all of the heavier appliances. This is not really any sort of warranty issue with the leaf springs but I do have an option that should help mitigate the effect of the trailer leaning to one side and that's with the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs part # TSS-106-40 for underslung and part # TSS-107-40 for overslung axles. This may not get you back to level but as the springs...

• SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs Recommendation for OverSlung Trailer Axle
  Drop axles don't drop the distance between the trailer frame and axle as basically the drop is after the suspension and between the spindle. So the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation Bracket # TSS-106-40 would install just fine on a drop axle. But sounds like you have an overslung axle based on the distance between your leaf spring and trailer frame. So for that you'd instead want the part # TSS-107-40.

• Raising the Height of a 2019 Forest River Viking 17BH Travel Trailer for Driveway Clearance
  Without any spacers at all the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs # TSS-106-40 actually sit 7-1/2" tall so there will need to be a significant amount of compression for your suspension to sit properly. I do have a better solution for the problem you are running into with your 2019 Forest River Viking 17BH. I recommend using the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00 which changes your leaf spring suspension to overslung so that your leaf springs sit on top of...

• Recommended Sumo Springs For Small Trailer With 3500 Lb Axle With Bouncy Suspension
  It sounds like your springs are more than likely maxed out if they have a 1750 lbs capacity and your trailer is 3400 lbs loaded. Getting in the trailer and moving around is adding extra weight to the springs as well. If the leaf springs sit below the axle then you can use SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation Bracket part # TSS-106-40 to support the suspension and increase the stability of the leaf springs to help them last longer. Please keep in mind these are designed...

• Recommended Suspension Enhancement for Trailer with 2-1/2 Inch Wide Leaf Springs
  I have a solution for you but because of the width of your leaf springs, the SuperSprings # TSS-106-40 are not going to be a workable solution for you since they do not make a SuperSpring to work with that size leaf spring. I would instead recommend using the Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System Medium-Duty Trailers # TTRA1032 which will provide you with support for up to 7000-lbs of cargo on your single axle trailer and because the bolt directly to the trailer frame and sit above...

• How to Prevent Trailer Axle from Hitting the Frame
  Installing a 4,000 lb capacity leaf spring on a trailer with a 3,500 lb capacity axle will make the suspension stiffer which could then in turn minimize the risk of the axle contacting the frame. However, this is not what I recommend to fix your problem. Instead, I recommend using the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs part # TSS-106-40 which will provide you with a rubber bumper between the suspension and frame as you can see in the attached photo. They will not produce a continuous rough...

• Can the Leaf Springs Be Upgraded On a Lippert 3,500 Lb Axle
  It is possible to upgrade the leaf springs on a trailer to a higher rated set but I do not recommend this as it can create a rough ride. The better option would be to install the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs part # TSS-107-40 for overslung or part # TSS-106-40 for underslung axles. These will offer both additional support without decreasing the ride quality. If you would still like for me to recommend a set of upgraded leaf springs, I'd need to know the unloaded length from eye to eye.

• Recommended Trailer Suspension to Dampen Road Shock
  Based on what you are saying and your photos, it apprears you have springs that are double eye springs. The springs will need to be based on the load of your trailer. The axle capacity may be difficult to know as you said it appears to be custom. I recommend determining the full capacity of the trailer including the wood you will be adding to it. Once you know that complete weight, then I can help you determine the best springs for your total capacity. Overbuilt isn't bad in...

• What Causes Trailer Leaf Springs To Break Continuously
  Yes, leaf springs must be replaced in pairs which is why one side left go and then the other shortly after. In regards to the stent you get on a full set of leaf springs, there are really a ton of variables present here so it is hard to predict. However, if you are a full-timer then odds are your trailer is going to be subjected to harder conditions and most likely more weight than the average trailer therefore your suspension components will wear faster. I have attached our leaf spring...

• How to Determine What SumoSprings Leaf Spring Enhancement Will Work
  In order to determine the correct SumoSprings Leaf Spring Enhancement System for your trailer, you need to need the weight capacity of the axles and if you have an overslung or underslung axle (which I'll explain). Based on your 2017 Montana's weight, both available kits have the right capacity, so all you need to do is find out if your Montanta has an overslung (springs sit over axle) or underslung axle (springs sit under axle). All this means is the position of the leaf springs...

• How to Determine Correct Replacement Springs for a 2019 Keystone Fuzion 424 Toy Hauler with 7K Axles
  I was able to find that your 2019 Keystone Fuzion 424 Toy Hauler has 7K axles and while we do have leaf springs for 7K axles, you'll need to take some measurements of your leaf springs to ensure that you get leaf springs that are the correct length for your application. Height can be a factor as well unless you are swapping out all of your leaf springs on all of your axles. If you are referring to suspension enhancement we have that too. Unfortunately we don't have a way to look up exactly...

• SumoSprings Helper Springs for 5th Wheel Trailer

These are maintenance free springs that don't require any adjustments or attention after the initial install. These particular springs are designed specifically for certain model years of the GMC Canyon and Nissan NV or Xterra. Installing these on your 5th wheel trailer would likely...

• Can Lippert Shocks be Installed on a Trailer Axle that is Mounted on Top of the Leaf Springs
  There isn't a different plate for use with axles mounted on top of the leaf spring stack for you to install shock kit # LC281281. But there are other suspension enhancement products available for trailers. For underslung axles rated for 3,000 to 5,000 pounds you can use SumoSprings # TSS-106-40.

• How Much Space Is Required for the Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System TTRA1032
  I do have an option but the Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System part # TTRA1032 requires 3" between the frame and axle/leaf springs so it won't work. I can't recommend you raise the frame from the axle to use these as the preload would not be correct. Instead, the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs part # TSS-107-40 or part # TSS-106-40 is what I recommend and you would actually lift the trailer frame from the axle to install these as they are designed to be installed with a preload.
