Specs:
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.
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 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.
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.

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs set. This is gonna help improve your driver control and comfort by upgrading the rear suspension on your 2016 and newer Nissan Frontier or Toyota Tacoma. This is going to replace your factory bump stops. It's gonna help to absorb bumps and shocks and minimize your sway to help keep your vehicle level as you're towing or hauling a heavy load. Now, most people are familiar when you're talking about suspension enhancement, they think of airbags and obviously these are not airbags, so there's gonna be some benefits and some drawbacks when you compare the two, but one major difference is that these are going to be very minimal maintenance, really no maintenance at all.
So, with your airbags, you're gonna have to add air. If you have a heavier load, let air out, so it's not too firm if you have a light load. Now, these are going to be constructed of a durable microcellular urethane. So, you're not gonna have to worry about airing them up or letting the air out. They work on a progressive load control design, so the springs compress according to the weight of your cargo.
So, for your lighter loads, the springs will compress easily to give you a nice soft engagement and a less bumpy ride. For your heavier loads, the springs are gonna compress by as much as 80% to support your load. These will have a weight capacity of 1,800 pounds. Keep in mind, that's not gonna increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. It's very tempting to think that that 1,800 pounds means that you're gonna be able to carry 1,800 pounds more in your truck, but think of it less like a second set of hands that's helping you lift more weight.
Think of it more like a back brace. So, it's there to help support your suspension system, take some of that strain off of it so it can last longer. Now, another major benefit to these is that it's gonna be very simple to get them installed. Basically, just fit right in place of your original bump stops. They do include instructions to walk you through that process step-by-step.
They also include a couple of different sizes of spacer here and the hardware that you'll need to accommodate those spacers to make sure that you have the proper spacing for your vehicle and these are custom fit brackets. So, again, you're not gonna have to do any drilling or anything like that. So, it's gonna be a very simple installation, as opposed to your airbags that will require you to run airlines and different things. So, it's much more involved installation, where this is gonna be very simple for you. Now, the one downside to these over your airbags is that they really are just kind of a set it and forget it sort of set up. So, you're not gonna have much control over how much support you're getting. So, with your airbags, if you want more support you can add air in, get a little bit more. These are just going to be what they are. So, you're not gonna be able to control them very much, but they are independent from each other. So, that's gonna help with your side-to-side movement. It's gonna help reduce your body roll and sway as you're taking turns and that sort of thing. So, they are gonna do a really good job for you without giving you that, whether you want to consider it a headache or a benefit of having to add air and take air out. These do have minimal lateral expansion, so they are going to compress vertically instead of off to the side. So, it's gonna help prevent any damage when you're operating in tight spaces. So, overall, really great option here to just kind of, again, improve your driver control and comfort. These are made here in the USA, so you can trust they are gonna be good quality and they also come with a limited lifetime warranty. So, if you we're to have any issues with them, you're more than welcome to reach out to us here at etrailer.com, but overall, a great way to help to support your suspension system, take some of that strain off of it, make sure it lasts for a nice long time. That completes our look for today, and again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.
