Heavy loads can cause your rear suspension to sag, making steering and braking feel uncertain. These SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs add 1,800 lbs of support at 50-percent compression to keep your ride level and steady. The microcellular urethane springs help your factory suspension handle the weight so your tires stay planted and your headlights stay properly aimed when towing or hauling.
Road dips and uneven cargo don’t have to mean a harsh ride. The progressive load control design lets the springs compress easily for lighter loads, softening bumps and vibration. As the load increases, the springs firm up to provide solid support, helping to prevent bottoming out and keeping your truck balanced no matter how much weight you’re carrying.
When a curve or crosswind tries to throw you around, each spring works on its own to keep your truck stable. This independent movement helps reduce body roll and sway, especially with off-center loads or when turning sharply. You’ll feel more confident and in control when driving through wind, traffic, or uneven terrain.
These helper springs are made from microcellular urethane that resists oil, salt, UV rays, and abrasion. They perform in temperatures from -25 F to 200 F without losing strength. With minimal lateral expansion, the springs compress straight down instead of bulging out, so they fit safely in tight spaces and hold up under constant use.
Adding extra suspension support doesn’t have to be complicated. The SumoSprings replace your existing bump stops with a simple bolt-on setup that requires no drilling or airline routing. Once installed, they’re maintenance-free—no air pressure checks or adjustments needed—just dependable load support every time you hit the road.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today we're gonna take a look at the Sumo Springs rear axle solo custom helper springs. These are designed to fit your 2016 and newer GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado, then your 2016 and newer Toyota Tacoma, then your 2005 to 2015 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner and excluding Pre-Runner. Now as you know, towing or hauling a heavy load can cause rear sag as your factory suspension compresses under the weight of the load. This means that your 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. Now Sumo Springs upgrade your vehicle's factory suspension to level your vehicle, improve driving performance and keep your ride comfortable.
These 1,800-pound capacity helper springs provide progressive load control. The more you load them, the stiffer they become, and with the 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% to support a heavy rear load, and to help your factory suspension bear up under the load. This is going to even out the weight which levels your vehicle and ensure that your front tires are making better contact with the road.
A level ride means that you have improved driving control. It ensures safe headlight aim and it helps to minimize sway. The springs also supports your factory suspension, which helps prevent sagging and reduce bottoming out. Now these springs work independently from one another to support each side of your vehicle. This action helps reduce body roll when you make a sharp turn, and this also helps compensate for off-center loads.
These microcellular urethane springs are tough. They're going to resist abrasion, oil, salt and UV rays that can more quickly wear out other springs, and they perform well in temperatures ranging from negative 25 degrees Fahrenheit to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. These springs will 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, Sumo springs require no maintenance or adjustment. Now these helper springs are made here in the USA and are custom design as I mentioned earlier, to fit your vehicle.
They install easily with no drilling required. And as you can see, this includes everything that you see here on my table before me to for a complete installation. The weight capacity at 50% compression is 1,800 pounds, and these Sumo Springs will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. So you do want to be aware of that. They do have a limited lifetime warranty. Instructions are included to walk you through the installation process. And that's gonna conclude our brief look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Glad to hear the install wasn't too bad, Michael! Definitely let us know how the ride is once you take it out for a drive! What are you using your Van for? The tires look pretty beefy.

Thanks for the awesome feedback, Jeff! Love hearing that the install was a breeze and that you noticed such a big difference in handling, that’s exactly what you want after the upgrade. Really appreciate you sharing the photos too, it’s always fun to see the comparison.

The springs are working exactly as expect. I have need up to the mountains numerous times and to Monerary to the Sea Otter bike fest. They have reduced the body roll and helped keep the truck stable on the mountain roads or when loaded down for camping. Im very pleased I added these Sumo Springs to my Tacoma.

Glad to hear they are helping, Cory! If you are feeling them going over speed bumps, I think taking one of the spacers out is a good idea. Especially if that is happening when you are unloaded. Speaking of which, what are you towing?

Hey John, thanks so much for the detailed response and photos. That really helps other folks on the page. I'm glad install went well and you're liking them! I have these sumosprings on my Nissan Titan and it's a huge upgrade for towing!

One of my favorite things to recommend Kevin, the feedback is always so great on what a difference they make! What are you mainly towing that needed the extra support?

Excellent, I also tow a 6x12 cargo trailer which the Sumos do a great job of maintaining a level ride. I also installed Sumos front and rear on my 32 Tiffin motorhome. It utilizes the Ford F53 chassis and I believe they compliment that chassis well. Im definitely a big Sumo fan.

That is the beauty of SumoSprings! Super easy to install and once they're on you can forget they're there! Are you planning on towing something with your Jeep that you want extra support for?
