Rear Suspension Support

Towing or hauling a heavy load can cause rear 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 weight of your vehicle. 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 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 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 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.

  • How Long is the SuperSprings SSR-306-47 for 2008 Ram 1500
    There are a lot of different models of the SuperSprings Custom Solo Helper Springs that are available for different Ram pickups, but assuming you've got a 1500 the correct SuperSpring Custom Solo Helper Spring is part # SSR-306-47. That particular spring is 7-1/4" including bracket and is designed to replace your factory bump stop on the rear axle. If you were looking for a different part number, just let me know and I can give you the dimension you're seeking.

  • Suspension Enhancement For Occasional Towing With A 2006 Dodge Ram 3500
    Hi William! The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-302-54 Would be a large improvement over the stock jounces on your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Mega Cab. Plus they are easy to install and American made, which is always nice. However, I wouldn't say they are the best. Now if you really want the best option for occasional towing, I would get the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit - Heavy Duty # RAS3613-HD. These help with sag and I have heard numerous...

  • Recommended Rear Axle Suspension Enhancement Kit for 2016 Ram 3500 with Slide-In Camper
    The best no-hassle option for stiffening your truck suspension when it is loaded with your slide-in camper is a set of Timbren jounce springs. These and all other suspension enhancement options for your rear axle are shown on the linked page. These are relatively low in cost, easier to install than most other solutions and they will give you progressive resistance in the rear suspension when you need it. But they will otherwise not alter the ride when the truck is unloaded. I suggest the...

  • Will the SumoSprings Helper Springs Impact Daily or Off Road Driving with Unloaded Truck Bed
    The SumoSprings Helper Springs, # SSR-302-54, will operate with no issues under normal driving conditions. The springs are designed to begin to impact the truck's suspension when the suspension is under a load. The OEM suspension components, like shocks, coil or leaf springs, will operate the suspension on your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 truck under normal conditions. The only issue I could see happening is if you would bottom out the rear of the truck when off road. The jounce bumps on the...

  • How To Prevent Sagging On My 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 When Pulling 27ft Camper With 800lb Tongue Weight
    For your application with adding the sway bar on your 2007 Dodge Ram 2500, a trailer with 800lb tongue weight but still wanting quality ride when unloaded I recommend SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle Item # SSR-302-54. These springs are a standard duty spring with a 2800lb capacity. 700lb of tongue weight with the standard duty installed, the back of the vehicle is going to sag about 1/2 inch. Adding another 100lbs it may sag approximately 3/4 of an inch to 1 inch. These...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement Product for 2006 Ram 2500 Carrying Small Slide In Camper
    For a Timbren suspension solution for your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4, I'd recommend going with the lower-rated # TDR2500CA which will provide the proper support for up to 6000 lbs. The heavier-duty # T94VR is more intended for use on severe service vehicles such as tow trucks and ambulances. I'm certain that you wouldn't be pleased with the rough ride you would experience with the higher-rated Timbren product. As an alternative, I believe you'd be happier using the # SSR-302-54 which provides...

  • Suspension Helper Springs for a 2015 Ram 3500 4x4 Towing 5th Wheel Toy Hauler w/5K Pin Weight
    For your 2015 Ram 3500 4x4 and your heavy toy hauler trailer I strongly advise going with a heavy duty option for rear helper springs. A light or medium duty just won't offer the support that you will need for this particular trailer. For SumoSprings the heavy duty part for your truck is # SSR-302-54. For Timbren springs I recommend using # TDR3500CA which is rated for 8,600 pounds. The one you mentioned, # TDRTT3500E, is for truck models turned into service vehicles and utility trucks....

  • SumoSprings Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2016 Ram 3500
    The SumoSprings part # SSR-302-54 that you mentioned are indeed a confirmed fit for your 2016 Ram 3500 dually. This will fit whether you have a 4 wheel drive or a 2 wheel drive. For the front you would want the part # SSF-301-47. This will only work for 2 wheel drive models though.

  • Determining Correct RAS Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit Fits 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 2WD
    For your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 2WD Pickup I recommend the RoadActive Suspension Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit - Heavy Duty # RAS3613-HD which is confirmed to fit your truck as long as you do not have top overload springs. This kit has a 3000lb load leveling capacity, but will also reduce sway and eliminate axle wrap giving you a better loaded and unloaded ride. If your truck has the top overload springs you will need to go with a different style of suspension enhancement. In that case I...

  • Will SumoSprings Help My 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually That Already Has 4k SuperSprings
    With you already having the 4000 pound SuperSprings, and the Hellwig antisway bar the SumoSprings # SSR-302-54 would be a great addition to help with the little bit of squat you have left. They have a capacity of up to 2,800 pounds and they're maintenance-free springs. They have a simple, no drill installation, and are made in the USA. Follow the link below for an installation video on a 2011 Ram 2500.

  • Rear Helper Springs for a 2015 Ram 3500 Mega Cab
    Yes, the SumoSprings # SSR-302-54 will replace the factory bump stops on your 2015 Ram 3500. They will bolt in place of them. Once installed the springs may make contact with the axle when unloaded but will definitely engage when weight is put in the bed or if the suspension compressive enough such as when hitting a bump. The SumoSprings are about 3 inches taller than the factory bump stops. If you were to measure the space between the bump stop and where it would touch the axle (with...

  • Will A Curt Gooseneck Hitch Interfere With The Installation Of A Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar

If you're trying to combat side-side sway then you can also swap out your factory bumpstops with the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-302-54. The installation is super simple and since it's just a replacement of the OEM bumpstop it won't interfere with any of the other components you have installed....
