Rear Suspension Support
SumoSprings helper springs are great for pickup trucks. Towing or hauling a heavy load can cause sag as your factory suspension compresses under the weight of the load. This means that the rear axle is trying to support not only the extra load but also the truck's weight. And because there is less weight on your front axle, your front tires make less contact with the road, which causes problems with traction, steering, and braking. SumoSprings upgrade your factory suspension to level your vehicle, improve driving performance, and keep your ride comfortable.
The innovative 2-piece design of these Rebel springs allows for unlimited suspension travel. This means that there will be more movement in your suspension when you're unloaded or off-roading, which makes your ride smoother and more comfortable.
Each spring has 2 pieces. One piece attaches to the frame of your vehicle. And the other piece attaches to the axle, typically above your existing factory leaf spring. The pieces come together to provide support when you are towing or hauling a heavy load. When you're unloaded, they separate so that they don't restrict the movement of your suspension. The closed-cell urethane springs also act like a shock absorber to dampen road vibration.
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 springs can also compress by as much as 80 percent to support a heavy rear 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 front 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 expand and 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.
This kit comes with custom-fit brackets that are designed to easily bolt onto your vehicle.

Today I'm going to take a look at the SumoSprings Rebel 2-piece Custom Helper Springs for rear axle. Has a 2,600 pound weight capacity. Now this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2011 to 2013 Ford F250 and Ford F350 Super Duty trucks. Now on any custom part, I like to recommend for you to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show if this will work for your application. Now these helper springs will upgrade your vehicle's rear suspension for improved control and comfort. Keeps you vehicle level when you're towing or hauling a heavy load, and it also helps to absorb bumps and shocks and help minimize sway.
Now this one happens to be an innovative 2-piece design, you can see right here this will provide unlimited vertical suspension travel for a smoother ride when unloaded or on rough terrain. It does have progressive load control, which means the springs compress according to the weigh of your cargo. Basically, if it's a lighter load on the springs, the springs will compress easily at first for soft engagement and a less bumpy ride, and if you get a heavier load on them, the springs will compress by as much as 80% for support. These springs will work independently from each other to compensate for off center loads, reduced body roll during sharp turns. They are made of a durable, high-density micro-cellular urethane. They're designed to work in temperatures from -25 degrees Fahrenheit up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, and the material also resists damage that can be caused by oils, road salts, and UV rays. It does give minimal lateral expansion, meaning the springs expand and contract vertically instead of to the side, so there aren't any easily damaged when operating in tight spaces. They are maintenance free, there's no tubing to run or air pressure to monitor like with your air springs.
It is an easy, bolt on installation. It does replace the factory bump stop, comes with everything shown here on the table, the two 2-piece style spring, the mounting brackets right down here, all of the installation hardware. A nice set of detailed instructions are included. These parts are made in the USA, and the specs on this again, the weight at 50% compression is 2,600 pounds. One thing that you need to remember is that SumoSprings will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. But that should do it for the review on the SumoSprings Rebel 2-piece custom helper springs for the rear axle, with a 2,600 pound weight capacity.

Front and rear Sumo Springs installed. Have not had a chance to hit the highway as yet. Locally a very good ride. Thanks to Joanne K. for all of her help.

The front Sumo Springs made a major difference in the stability of my Winnebago motorhome. It handles the bumps much better without major jarring of the passengers and dampens the side to side motion in turns and under crosswinds.
by: Steve02/22/2024
The Sumo mount had to be slightly modified on the drivers side (removed a 1/2" by 1/2" chunk of the plate) with a grinder to get it to fit on my 2022 f350 4x4. I contacted the manufacturer prior to making the modification. They did not have an issue. The Sumo reduced truck squat (approx 3/4") allowing the truck to ride level with a trailer (8k hitch mount and 17k gooseneck). When you hit a pothole, the impact felt in the truck was jarring and caused the truck to become unstable. The Sumo eliminated this problem. I chose the blue over the yellow after watching a video on etrailer about ride comfort. I added front Sumos after I installed the rear Sumos. The rear provided the a more noticeable improvement. I chose Sumos over air bags because they eliminated air leak maintenance and air pressure adjustments depending on the load.

Sumo springs along with a steering stabizer, new shocks, and oversized sway bars seriously tightens the ride on older model RV with an f53 ford chasis. Long hauls become a lot less strenuous. I also put a memory foam and high density foam seat cushion on the driver's seat. We can travel all over with a lot less fatigue from fighting the wheel and pucker factor from blowing around the road. I took about 3 hours to unstall all 4 sumo springs.
by: Ed04/10/2020
We have a 2009 build F53 chassis on our 2010 Windsport 32A. I ordered these Sumo springs for the front axle. Hated how bad our coach dashboard would shake and rattle when going over bridge transitions, potholes, and concrete roadway section breaks. Took about an hour and were easy to install alone. Couldn't believe how much these helped the front axle. Worked so well I recently bought a set for the rear axle also. Those are a bit harder to install due to having to drill holes in frame rails to mount the upper bracket and glad I had friend to assist me. Would have only taken a little longer without the help but still easy to do by basic mechanic skills. With having both now we can certainly tell the difference and wished I had bought them sooner.

The work great! Was going to go with the Air-Ride air bags in the front but folks had noted that the bags are strained when the leveling pulls the front wheels up to the point of coming off the ground. Glad we went with these. The person I put this on for is Handicap (or Handicapable as she says!) and these do not require air or making sure the pressure(s) are correct and holding.
It was a pain in the butttt get the original jounce bumper off the drivers side, but we muscled through it!! Thanks, Amy, for your help in ordering!! v

These helper springs made an amazing difference in the stability and ride comfort in our coach. Improved cornering and bounce control were immediately apparent. Plus, crosswind driving is much improved. The split design makes leveling easy as I typically raise the front of the coach rather than the rear. Installation is a lot of work, but can be done yourself with the right equipment. Very pleased.
by: Peck03/04/2024
I installed the Sumo Springs prior to a 7500 mile trip on my 22GMC 2500. We was pulling our 34 foot Travel trailer and I believe the springs made all the difference in ride stability as well as control while pulling.

Ordered the sumo springs on a Thursday and received them on a Thursday used the on line video they have had had them installed in no time this isn’t the only product I have gotten from them and will continue to use them great service
by: Kevin04/14/2024
I put a small leveling kit in my 2500hd Silverado. I noticed afterwards towing my excavator or dump trailer I was getting some rear sag when I had my trailers loaded heavy. I considered doing air bags for the rear. Instead I installed the sumo springs. I installed them in about an hour. Very happy with them. No noticeable difference in ride quality while empty. And they keep my truck level when I’m hauling my trailers. 5 stars!
by: Timothy01/18/2024
I think they helped with the side to side roll I put on front and back sumo’s the roadmaster sway bar and front safety steer. Drove from Michigan to Utah . I think the ford f-53 is not a great place to start

If you are looking at these, betting you have a class A that you are attempting to get the smoothest ride out of. We installed these on a V8 F53 24k chassis - Georgetown G7 for the same reasons. Most forums and reviews speak of multiple components being installed all at once, with varying results on ride quality. Being an aircraft mechanic of 20yrs, I elected to install one component at a time before throwing the store at it. Started with the Koni Evo shocks. Really helped smooth the ride and lessen the low speed rolls. So much, we almost stopped there. After reading many rv’ers speak to front and rear Sumos being too stiff of a ride, I elected to only install fronts. The fronts are two piece bags unlike the rear, which means the only dampen on compression, not extension/compression at same time. My theory was correct! For us, this is the perfect combination at minimal cost! I highly suggest you start with this setup prior to buying the store!

Just Installed my Sumo Rear Springs. They went in real easy on my Dodge Ram 3500. The thing that took the most time on the install was jacking up the frame 3-4" to make enough space between the axle base and top of frame to slip in the entire lower and top sections of the Sumo Springs. Once I did that, I narrowed that space by letting the frame down a little but not all the way. Just enough to catch the receiving spring and leaving a half inch gap between the two sections. This allowed me to easily rachet the bottom u-clap without a problem and keep good alighment. I know I'm going to love this product once I hitch up. No more 2' drop in the rear end once hooking up to my 15k 5th wheel. These springs are stout but no so stout I'll beat the hell out of my body when hunting the rutted roads of the great North West. Thank you Jessie for your expertise and steering me toward the perfect application to meet my pulling and off-road needs.

My THOR motor coach has the Ford F-53 chassis. I rides like a truck. That should not be surprising as "it is a truck." I purchased and installed these Sumo Springs and even though it will never be "air bag" suspension, the Sumo Spring made a wonderful difference in improving the ride. I would recommend this add on to everyone and as I meet similar motor coaches on the road, I show them the Sumo Springs and I do recommend them.
by: Frank05/30/2019
Preston did a great job helping me spec in the correct springs for my 2016 Thor Hurricane 27K on a F53 chassis. Placed order with him over phone and received springs two day's later. I just installed them and took Motor home on a test drive around town on bumpy streets and what a difference it made. Drives more like a truck now and less like a boat. I also installed a steering stabilizer spring and did the cheap handling fix to the sway bars. Well worth the time and effort. I did notice that the etralier installation video shows the bottom brackets of the spring installed with the "U" down which is opposite the mfg's printed instructions. I did mine according to the printed instructions cause it seemed to make more sense. Probably no big deal either way.
Thanks etrailer. I'll be contacting you guys when ready to do the back end of my motor home.
by: Tracy 02/18/2024
A friend and I installed these, if was not difficult to figure out and was a big savings. My wife noticed the difference without knowing it. On a trip to a frequent location she would complain the entire trip after installation on the same trip she did not complain at all. Success!

I like the Sumo Srings on my Ram thirty five hundred thinking about a pair for my fifth wheel trailer.
by: Sergio12/11/2023
The installation went very well. The ride seemed smooth.
by: David05/12/2023
Adding a pair of SumoSprings to the rear axle of our 2015 F250 did little to help level the vehicle when hauling 500 to a 1000 lbs of feed or other materials. When pulling a bumper pull tandam trailer with a UTV, tractor, etc.,these springs did not hold the pickup level. We have since replace the leaf springs with OEM parts and all is better. The SumoSprings is a very good idea however did not solve our concern and probably should have saved the cost and replace the leaf springs first. Please note that this F250 does not have a goose neck hitch and it is rare to be overloaded. We use a one ton for those loads. Thanks.

Immediate improvement in sway control and ease of driving. I installed these in a few hours at my leisure. Did I mention I am 65? 2019 Winnebago Sunstar 35LX
by: Jeremy 10/01/2023
The product was delivered on time and is installed. The SuperSprings are as advertised. They were a little difficult to install as Winnebago run some cables in the way and were difficult to move.
by: Doug06/04/2022
I really like the improved ride that these SumoSprings made in the ride of my motorhome. I changed out the old style Sumos for these two piece Sumos and would definitely do it again. It doesn't necessarily take away the bumps but it makes them smoother or not as hard of a bump. Also James was very helpful and easy to work with while placing my order and kept me informed on the status of my order.
by: Luis R03/13/2023
excellent team works very well I recommend it. Thank you very much
by: Ryan 10/25/2023
My driver said the ride in his truck improved dramatically with a loaded gooseneck trailer, we'll definitely be getting these for all of our trucks this winter
by: Richard 02/09/2024
Very simple to install anyone could do it. They work fantastic
