Features to know about

Stay Level Under Load: 1,500-lb Rear Suspension Support

Heavy trailers, campers, and bed loads can make your rear suspension sag. These SumoSprings Solo helper springs add up to 1,500 lbs of support at 50-percent compression to help your rear suspension stay level under load. They work with your factory suspension to keep steering and braking steady while reducing bottoming out and keeping your headlights aimed correctly.

Smooth Out the Ride: Progressive Load Control

Bumpy roads feel smoother with the progressive load control built into these urethane springs. With lighter loads, they compress easily for soft contact and a comfortable ride. As the weight increases, they stiffen up—compressing by as much as 80 percent—to keep the rear end supported and balanced. That means you get a smoother ride when empty and solid control when loaded.

Stay Steady in Crosswinds and Turns: Independent Spring Action

Each spring works on its own to handle uneven loads or side-to-side forces. When a curve or crosswind tries to push you around, the springs act independently to reduce body roll and sway so your vehicle feels planted through corners or when pulling into uneven ground.

Count on Tough, Maintenance-Free Construction

Made from durable microcellular urethane, these springs resist oils, road salts, and UV rays while performing from -25 F to 200 F. They compress vertically with minimal side expansion to protect nearby components and fit safely in tight spaces. With no tubing or air pressure to maintain, they deliver reliable support without extra upkeep.

Install It Yourself: No-Drill Mounting

These helper springs are custom fit for straightforward installation that doesn’t require drilling. Just bolt them into place using basic tools and you’re ready for a more stable, level ride whenever you haul or tow heavy loads.

Great product! Bought these for my 2000 7.3 f250. Didn't want something that is constantly active like ras or hellwig since my leaf springs are new and rated for 4k pounds. Installed these in 1 hr super simple only hard part was the factory bump stop on driver side was a pain. Didn't install the puck they give due to height of truck and I knew more or less at what point I wanted them engaging. I haul cattle to shows/ auctions or between pastures with my 24ft big bend and these things actually provided a smoother ride in my truck loaded then unloaded.they do a great job with the added support and are better than an overload spring with handling sway and providing a smooth ride loaded. Just wish I could use the 3k pound rated ones on this truck and my dually but doesn't fit if you have a gooseneck sadly so will probably have to go with timbs on the drw. Over all great product can't speak to longevity but solid for the time being. And customer service with this company is excellent if you have a question or problem they're on top of it...hope they pay them as well as the reputation they're building for them.

Put these on a Jeep Gladiator to haul a motorcycle to Sturgis. Kept everything level, good ride and stability. Highly recommend.



by:

Product is great, exceeded my expectations. Install is simple and straightforward. It’s a night and day difference in both the body roll and the handling small bumps all the way up to off-road conditions.



by:

2025 Promaster 2500 159” wheelbase. Backed the van on couple 2” X 6 “ easier sliding under. Sprayed PB Blaster on top of bumper spring, using a 16” Channel Lock, easy off with the old. At that time I jacked the rear end to allow clearance. One side at a time. Took longer for set up then the job. I used the long bolt with two spacers. Have not drove yet, though looking for great results.



by:

I put these on a 2013 Jeep JK (not lifted) that tows a 3000 lb trailer in rough terrain; Total game changer.

These replaced the anemic factory stops (which had completely disintegrated) and make it impossible to 'bottom out' on the dips and holes that use to beat up the suspension. I got nearly all of my vertical travel back and the vehicle now sits almost level under high tongue load.

They go on pretty easy. I suggest sliding in one side, and then using a wooden dowel and hammer to pop the other side in the stock receiver cup.

Highly recommended. These are a MUST if you are towing a trailer (with a medium sized SUV) of any significant weight or if you just want to be able to bounce hard without bottoming out your suspension. I am likely going to get the front suspension version now as well.
Wish I knew these existed sooner.



by:

This only pertains to the order, shipping speed, and install as I have not put a heavy load on these sumo Springs yet but I feel like that's a foregone conclusion based off the reviews already. The ordering process, the shipping, and the installation was unbelievably easy. I kept rereading the instructions thinking this can't be right because it was so simple. I looked at the YouTube video and realized it is that simple! So happy with the ordering process, the quality of the initial product I opened, and how simple it was to put on the jeep.

Did not pull my RV yet but the install was so easy and I can see its going to work well.The spring is only and inch or so away from the axial so I know there will be less of a drop in the bed of truck.



by:

They work great on my 24 f150. I also have them on the front of my 19 RV. Thanks Bob



by:

They took out the rearend sag when hauling my tractor and don’t effect the ride with no weight in the truck bed. Easy to install and do a great job.



by:

Easy to install



by:

Easy to install, helps limit the squatting issue that I was having with my 2020 F-150 pulling 7000 pound fifth wheel.



by:

I would recommend these if you have an F150. They squat quite a bit from the factory so you have to use something to stiffen up the rear leaf springs. They were easy to install.



by:

These springs work great.

Pros: Towing
feels so much more stable, controlled and secure. No more extreme bouncing over large bumps. Makes towing ride feel more comfortable.

Cons: Does make unweighted travel a bit more active and rough. Small bumps normally absorbed by suspension tend to become more pronounced. This might be fixed by medium duty jounce spring, but there could be a potential loss of usefulness with a heavier load. Minor drawback compared to the pros.



by:

Easy to install and fit perfect. Have had it installed for a week now and is doing its job keeping the pickup level.



by:

I got them in 2 days. Fast shipping and delivery. I ordered the 1500# springs. The installation instructions were easy to follow. Installation of the springs was straightforward and easy. My F150 fender is at 41” unloaded. With my 1420# pin weight from my 5th wheel without the springs, my fender was at 36” and my bump stops were about 3” from the top of my Axle. With the springs installed, unloaded I have 1” until the sumo spring touches. With my 5th wheel attached, fender is at 39”. The bounce is reduced dramatically and my sumo spring is hardly compressed. I’m so excited and happy about the results! 10/10 would do again



by:

Very easy installation in about 20 minutes. Very ingenious concept as opposed to bolt on leaf style helper springs

Love them! The truck barely even squatted, had two dirt bikes, and a generator in the bed as well! It handles the bumps and sway great

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement For A 2020 Ford F-150 Towing Occasional Loads
    Hey Dave, The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR1504E you referenced is a fit for your F-150, but it has a 6,000lb capacity so it'll give you an terrible ride unloaded ride quality. These would be great if you're heavy hauling all the time but for occasional use you'll definitely want to go with something lower capacity like the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS28UV. These have a 1,500lb capacity to help with your varying loads and have a much softer progression...

  • Suspension Enhancement For 2022 Ford F-150 with 2 inch Leveling Kit
    Hey Dave, yeah if you have a leveling kit that lowered the suspension height that will cause your harsh ride quality problem as the suspension will essentially be riding on the Timbrens all the time. Everything we offer is for stock height vehicles BUT SumoSprings has told us that their kits like the part # SS28UV that fits your truck can be cut down. So based on that the SumoSprings would be what I would recommend. You would be able to trim these down if needed but they also are known...

  • Suspension Enhancement for 2020 Ford F-150 FX4 for Occasional Towing
    Hey Brian! The SumoSprings Solo # SS28UV are designed for stock height. They will fit, but they aren't going to engage properly because of the lift so they won't work the way you want them to. SumoSprings doesn't offer spacers for their kits, so you will want to go a different route. What I recommend instead is the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-Y. These mount on your leaf springs so they won't be impacted by the lift from the FX4 package. These will...

    Thanks for your question, Steve! Also, thanks for the picture! It looks like that's just the factory bump stop and bracket. I included a snip from our install video and it shows the same thing you are. The bolt that is in the center of that bump stop, once loosened, both the bump stop and that bracket it's attached too will come off. I linked the video the snip is from as well.

  • Best Sumo Springs For 2024 Ford F-150 Pulling 34' Travel Trailer With 955 lb Hitch Weight
    Hey Juan, good question. With a 955 lb tongue weight and a 34' trailer, I’d steer you toward the 1,500 lb SumoSprings. Even with a weight distribution hitch helping spread that load, you’re still putting a good amount of weight on the rear suspension, and the 1,000 lb set would be right at its limit or possibly a little under what you actually need once you factor in gear in the bed, passengers, and anything else you’re carrying. That’s where you end up still seeing some squat or not getting...

  • Suspension Enhancement For 2021 Ford F-150 Towing 5th Wheel
    Hi Richard; if unloaded ride quality is your concern I would steer clear of the Timbren SES. These tend to result in a pretty harsh ride when you aren't towing. The # TFRTT1504E is the severe service kit, designed for constant loads like salt spreaders or slide-in campers. If you really want to use the Timbren the # TFR1504E would be the correct kit. Do you know the pin weight of your trailer? If it is on the lower end the SumoSprings Solo # SS28UV would work with a capacity of 1,500...

  • Weight Distribution Hitch and Suspension Enhancement for 2024 F-150 Towing 10,250 lb Boat Trailer
    Hey Patrick! With a heavy boat trailer like that adding a weight distribution hitch (WDH) and some suspension enhancement will definitely be beneficial. However, instead of the TImbren SES # TFR1504E I recommend the SumoSprings # SS28UV. The SumoSprings will give you the support you need without the harsh impact on your unloaded ride quality. I'm sure you already realized you will need an adapter for the boat trailer tongue since you looked at the # EQ95-01-5950. This is designed for Equal-i-zer...

  • Which SumoSprings are Best For a 2023 Ford F-150 When Towing With a Weight Distribution Hitch?
    I recommend using the 1,000LB SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS88UV on your 2023 Ford F-150. Since your weight distribution hitch is redistributing most of the tongue weight from your trailer across your truck they will not have as much weight to support. While they do offer the 1,500LB Springs # SS28UV, I only recommend using these on trucks which will regularly carry heavy loads.

  • Which SumoSprings For 2022 Ford F-150 Tremor Towing Trailer With Weight Distribution
    I checked with SuperSprings, and yes, they do indeed fit for your 2022 Ford F-150 Tremor. Between the two capacities, I do recommend the 1,000 lb option, which is the following part number: - SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS88UV Since you have weight distribution, the 1,000 lb # SS88UV will be more than enough for your needs to help out the rear suspension of your F-150. They also won't be as stiff for those times when you aren't towing and are driving on a very rough road...

  • Recommended SumoSprings for a 2022 Ford F-150
    The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs item # SS28UV would be a great option for support on your 2022 F-150. These have a 1,500 lbs capacity and fit both the 2WD and 4WD models. I really like SumoSprings over other suspension options because of the progressive load support they offer. The support only engages when you have weight added to the rear of your truck. It will not affect the side quality when you are not towing. This system is also pretty simple to get installed. I have...

  • Best Suspension Enhancement for 2023 Ford F-150
    The best suspension enhancement solution for your 2023 Ford F-150 Tremor is the Roadactive kit part # RAS3611-YHD actually. I know it's not one of the options you mentioned but for what you will be doing with your truck it would give you the best overall support. It's basically the best of both words between air bags and rubber spring kits but it actually improves ride quality and stability whereas the other options make the ride quality pretty harsh. The install is easier and the adjustments...
