Specs:
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.
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.
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.
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.

These also help to better absorb bumps and road shocks. You'll also notice that they help reduce, or minimize, sway. They do feature progressive load control so these springs will actually compressor according to the weight of your cargo. For lighter loads, the springs compress easily at first, for soft engagement and a less bumpy ride. Then for heavier load, the springs compress for as much as 80% for support.Now, they are a nice stiff design.
When I try to compress them, you can't really see much. That's because these are designed for heavy loads. They're really nice, durable, micro cellular designs. The urethane is a high density. It's very durable, it works in temperatures from negative 25 degrees Fahrenheit to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
They're designed to resist damages typically caused by oils, road salts, and UV rays. Now these springs do work independently from each other to compensate for off center loads. That's really going to help reduce body roll when you're going around a turn, or cornering, or maybe sudden maneuver or a sharp turn.They also feature minimal lateral expansion. These springs will compress vertically instead of off to the side, so they aren't easily damaged when operating in tighter spaces. My favorite feature about these springs is that they're completely maintenance free.
There's no tubing to run, or air pressure to monitor, like with air springs. It's a simple no drill installation. They simply push into the retaining cup on your vehicle, where your factory springs we're installed.They do include nice installation instructions, so you can see there, right here points out your new spring compared to the OEM, or factory one. Shows how it installs it. On the back, you have kind of a line by line breakdown of the installation process. This product is made in the USA. When it comes to the weight capacity at 50% compression, we're looking at 2,800 pounds. It's important to keep in mind that Sumo springs do not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity.That's going to do it for today's look at the Sumo Springs custom helper springs for the front axle.
