Front Suspension Support

SumoSprings helper springs are great for RVs or motor homes that have slide-outs. Slide-out rooms and other heavy front loads 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 motor home's weight. 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.


SumoSprings Rebel installed showing separation of 2-piece springs

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. The pieces come together to provide support when you are carrying a heavy front 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 compressing under load

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 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 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.

  • Recommended Suspension Upgrade For A 2021 Newmar Bay Star 3626 Class A Motorhome That Leans
    Typically if your motorhome is leaning one way it just means either the manufacturer or you have it too much loaded on one side, but this could also be an indication that there's an issue with your suspension so I highly recommend everything is is in good shape and that nothing is damaged before adding on anything. Once you know your suspension is in good working order then yes, I definitely recommend installing some SumoSprings. These will give you a much smoother ride over the Timbren's...

  • Recommended Sumo Springs for 2018 Ford F53 Chassis 24,000 lbs
    The SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - 2 Piece - Front Axle # SSF-173-40-2 will support the load and compress together on your motorhome all the time when there is weight. The split design is a benefit for the individual springs when the suspension travel is greater than what a single non-split design could handle. In other words, when one wheel travels lower on a turn, the spring will not take weight off the wheel so it has more weight in contact with the road for better traction....

  • What is the Difference Between the Different Color SumoSprings for the 2019 Coachman Mirada 32SS.
    You are correct that the different colors on the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs like the # SSR-187-54-1 note the different densities of the springs; the yellow springs that you were looking at and are mentioned above are the stiffest compression strength springs available for your 2020 Coachman Mirada 32SS and are the best choice to help reduce the side-to-side sway you're experiencing. For reference, the blue SumoSprings are for light duty applications, the black are designed for...

  • Suspension Enhancement for 2021 Forest River Georgetown 36K7 Motorhome
    We can get your 2021 Forest River Georgetown 36K7 set up for a smoother and more controlled ride, and the best way to do that is to add an aftermarket rear anti-sway bar because they are better constructed with higher-strength, thicker steel than OEM sway bars. This means the bars are stronger with much higher roll stiffness to combat sway, and their placement at the rear of the vehicle allows for the greatest improvement in handling. After that, to get the best overall handling, you can...

  • Recommended Suspension Upgrades for a 2018 Jayco Precept 36T
    The first and most important suspension upgrade you will want to make on your 2018 Jayco Precept 36T is an upgraded rear anti-sway bar, the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar part # RM-1139-149. The Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar is going to help minimize the floating/rocking feeling while out on the highway which is typically the most common complaint with a motorhome and the weakest component from the factory. The second most important suspension upgrade you will want to make is a set of...

  • Front SumoSprings For 2018 Tiffin Allegro 32SA
    Everything I am seeing about a 2018 Tiffin Allegro 32SA is that it has a 24,000 lb chassis, so you'll want to verify what your chassis GVWR is before ordering. Here are the options for both the 22k and 24k front SumoSprings, with the right one depending on your chassis GVWR: - 22,000 lb Chassis: SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-170-40-2 - 24,000 lb Chassis: SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-173-40-2

  • Best Anti-Sway Bars and SumoSprings for a Forest River Georgetown 360DS On Ford F-53 Chassis
    The most beneficial component that you can add to your motorhome's suspension is a rear anti-sway bar or in your case, an upgraded rear anti-sway bar. For your 2014 Forest River Georgetown 360DS on a Ford F-53 Chassis, I recommend the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar part # RM-1139-149 which features a 1-5/8" diameter bar and polyurethane bushings. I have attached an install video for you on a similar motorhome with the same chassis.

  • Front Suspension Enhancement For 2020 Thor Outlaw 38MB Motorhome
    There are no front air bag kits that are made for your 2020 Thor Outlaw 38MB motorhome, but there is a front suspension enhancement you can use, which are SumoSprings. The correct fit for your rig is the following part: - SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-173-40-2 While these lack the adjustability of air bags, they are still going to improve the ride of your motorhome, helping level it out, and reducing body roll and sway for a smoother, more controlled ride.

  • Recommended Sumo Springs For 2021 Ford F-53 Chassis Motorhome W/ 24000lb GVWR

For the rear you will need the Sumo Springs # SSR-183-54-1 as long as your motorhome is NOT a Fleetwood, Forest River, Newmar, or Thor model. If it is one of these models then you will need to go with the # SSR-187-54-1 instead. Both of these rear suspension enhancements offer 7000lbs of load leveling...

  • Recommended Jounce Springs for Two-Wheel Drive 2019 Ford F-53 Chassis
    The jounce springs I recommend for your two wheel drive 2019 Ford F-53 chassis are from SumoSprings, the SumoSprings Rebel for the front axle and SumoSprings Maxim for the rear axle. The reason why the SumoSprings are the best is because they not only work to reduce sway, but also keep your vehicle level and give you a smoother ride. The SumoSprings can do this because they are made of a microcellular urethane which compresses. Each of the springs works independently which is what is going...

  • Comparing the Air Lift LoadLifter Air Bags and the SumoSprings for a 2015 A.C.E. With a Ford F-53
    Adding the steering stabilizer and the front sway bar is definitely the first couple of steps that you want to take to help stabilize your motorhome. If you haven't already picked one out I recommend going with the Roadmaster # RM-1139-148 which is confirmed to fit a 2015 Ford F-53. Although air bags like the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57240 would help to support the suspension and ultimately your ride, I recommend going with the SumoSprings as they require no maintenance....

This is a great combination, and I recommend enhancing both the front and rear of the vehicle. Normally if you were to only use one enhancement, you would begin with the back end.

We do, however, have springs that are compatible. They are the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs, part # SSF-173-40-2.

  • 2015 Tiffin 31 SA SumoSprings Fit Recommendation
    I looked up your 2015 Tiffin Allegro 31SA on a Ford F-53 chassis and it weighs in at 24k so the correct Sumo Springs would be part # SSF-173-40-2 for the front and part # SSR-187-54-1 for the rear. The install is not that hard. I am not sure why they quoted you such a ridiculous price. I attached install video links for both kits though. For a rear sway bar you'd then want the part # RM-1139-149 which will work great and give you the biggest improvement in handling!
