Front Suspension Support

A heavy front load, such as a snowplow or a winch, 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 weight of your vehicle. 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.


Installed spring when it is not compressed

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 closed-cell urethane material allows for smooth contact between the springs and your vehicle. And the springs act like a shock absorber to dampen road vibration.


Installed spring when it is compressed

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 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.


The helper springs are custom designed to fit your vehicle, and they install easily - no drilling required.

  • What is Minimum Clearance Between SumoSprings Solo and Axle of Vehicle
    Hey Carl, with the SumoSprings Solo kits like the part # SSF-302-47 the minimum clearance between the spring and the vehicle axle is 1/2 inch. Normal clearance is between 1/2 inch and 1 inch.

  • Recommended SumoSprings for my 2017 Ram 2500 4x4 with Snow Plow Attached
    On your 2017 Ram 2500 I recommend using the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SS68RR with the 800 lb. capacity. Because this is occasional use or winter use and not a constant load the softer springs aren't going to effect the unloaded quality much at all. If you were to use the 1,200 lb. version part # SSF-302-47 it will eliminate more sag but of course will deteriorate the unloaded ride quality more than the 800 pounders. It is a great question and one that we actually discussed...

  • Front Suspension Enhancement for 2020 Ram 2500 with Snow Plow
    There aren't too many options for front end suspension enhancement, however we do offer front coil springs designed for trucks with snow plows part # SSC-25. This is a great upgrade to make the front suspension more rigid.

  • Front and Rear Sumosprings Helper Springs for 2017 Ram 2500 4WD
    I would be happy to help you and I have a great setup for your 2017 Ram 2500 4WD. I would not recommend the Timbren item # TDR2500D you referenced. Those are rated up to 8500 lbs and will offer a stiff ride when you are not loaded up. For your rear axle, I recommend the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs item # SS27GR. These helper springs are a 2-piece system that connects at top and bottom and provides unlimited suspension travel and movement for a smooth, comfortable ride. The...

  • Recommended Front Axle Suspension Enhancement For A 2022 Ram 2500 4x4 Laramie
    Hey Chris, The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL80532 will stiffen up your coil springs and help with the road shock you've been experiencing, but I'd go one step further with a front jounce spring. Adding in the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSF-302-47 will help cushion the suspension and provide load lifting support with no maintenance. With how rough the roads are and with the amount of travel you'd definitely benefit from a front jounce spring to...

  • Will SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs Fit 2017 Ram 2500 with Factory Air Bag Suspension
    I reached out to my contact at SuperSprings and he said that the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-312-47 are perfectly compatible with the factory air bag setup on your 2017 Ram 2500. The jounce-style springs won't interfere at all with the air bags, which as you mentioned simply take the place of the standard coil springs. For the front axle on your Ram you will need the Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSF-302-47, which feature a 1,200 pound weight capacity (the lowest available)....

  • Compatible Suspension Enhancement For A 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 With 2 Leveling Kit
    The SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSR-301-47-2 are a confirmed fit for the rear axle of your 2009 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 Pickup. The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSF-302-47 unfortunately will not accommodate a spacer but you can instead use the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3613-HD. These will attach to the leaf spring instead so you won't have to worry about spacer compatibility. Note: The # RAS3613-HD do not fit vehicles with factory...

  • What Front-Axle Suspension Kit for 2011 Ram 3500 4WD Diesel Dually Crew Cab with Heavy Winch/Bumper
    Both of the front-axle suspension helper kits you referenced for your 2011 Ram 3500 4WD, the Timbren # TDF25004B and the SumoSprings # SSF-302-47, are rubber jounce springs that offer progressive resistance under load. Installation will be similar - no drilling for either kit. For your particular application with a heavy front bumper and winch installed, I suggest the Timbren kit over the SumoSprings. The Sumos are great for softening general ride quality but for your application with...

  • Recommended Front Helper Springs for Snow Plow Equipped 2018 Ram 2500 Power Wagon
    Timbren makes a Suspension Enhancement product, part # TDF25004E that would be perfect for your 2018 Ram Power Wagon with a plow. The system won't affect your ride quality when the plow isn't in place, but it will help reduce body roll in turns. The springs provided up to 11,000 lbs of additional support.

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 Dually
    The SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs Kit, # SSF-302-47, is designed for the front suspension on a 2005 Dodge Ram 3500. Since the weight you will be carrying is in the back with the camper and boat, you will probably want rear springs. You would need the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs Kit - Rear Axle, # SSR-302-47. These are designed for Non-Cab and Chassis, 4 wheel drive 3500 models. The springs will help with sag associated with heavy loads in the truck bed and sway associated with...

  • 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...

  • Available AirLift Suspension Enhancement Kits for 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel 4x4
    We do offer suspension enhancement kits for your 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 pickup, both front-axle and rear-axle, that are displayed on the linked page. AirLift products are among these but none of these items is a front-axle air bag kit that would use the air spring # AL81260 that you referenced. The recommended front-axle kit for your truck is the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-302-47. This is a jounce spring kit rather than an air bag kit. Jounce springs offer...
