Specs:
SumoSprings helper springs are great for pickup trucks. Towing or hauling a heavy load can cause 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 truck's weight. 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 factory suspension to level your vehicle, improve driving performance, and keep your ride comfortable.
The innovative 2-piece design of these Rebel springs allows for unlimited suspension travel. This means that there will be more movement in your suspension when you're unloaded or off-roading, which makes your ride smoother and more comfortable.
Each spring has 2 pieces. One piece attaches to the frame of your vehicle. And the other piece attaches to the axle, typically above your existing factory leaf spring. The pieces come together to provide support when you are towing or hauling a heavy load. When you're unloaded, they separate so that they don't restrict the movement of your suspension. The closed-cell urethane springs also act like a shock absorber to dampen road vibration.
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 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 expand and 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.
This kit comes with custom-fit brackets that are designed to easily bolt onto your vehicle.

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at this SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper spring set. This is gonna replace the factory bump stop to help upgrade the rear suspension on your 2021 and newer Ford F-150. This will work with both two wheel drive and four wheel drive models. Now these are going to help keep your vehicle level when you're towing or hauling a heavy load. It's gonna help absorb your bumps and shocks, minimize your sway and help to improve your control and comfort overall.
Now, when you're talking about suspension enhancement most people are familiar with airbags. Obviously these are not going to be airbags. These are a durable microcellular urethane construction. So one advantage of that is that it's gonna be maintenance free. So unlike your airbags where you have to adjust the air pressure make sure you've got the minimum amount of pressure at all times, and then add pressure if you've got a heavy load takeout air if you've got a lighter load, these are going to be a progressive load system.
So they've got that progressive load control. So the springs will compress according to the weight of your cargo. For your lighter loads the springs are gonna compress easily at first for a nice soft engagement and a less bumpy ride. And then for your heavier loads the springs will compress by as much as 80% to help support that load. They get firmer and stiffer the more they're compressed and so it's gonna help support those heavier loads.
So these will provide a 3000 pound weight capacity at 50% compression. Now when you hear that it's tempting to think that means it's going to help increase your vehicle's weight carrying weight by 3000 pounds, but that's not the case. Even airbags and any other suspension enhancement system is not going to increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. So 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 and help it to take some of that strain off of it, help it last longer, and that sort of thing. So these are gonna do a really good job for you. They've got a two piece design, so it is going to allow for unlimited suspension travel and movement for a smoother ride even when it's unloaded or when you're on rough terrain. And the springs will work independently from each other. So it's gonna help compensate for your off-center loads and reduce your body roll during your sharp turn. So if you've got a really heavy toolbox or something on one side and that spring is going to compress to handle that weight and the other spring is going to allow you to still absorb shock based on the amount of weight that's on that other side. These are gonna be a very simple bolt-on installation because they are a custom fit for your F-150. The brackets here are going to easily bolt onto your vehicle. They do include instructions to walk you through that whole process. Very easy to get installed. Unlike your airbags where you have to run a bunch of tubing. These are not going to require any tubing. So they are gonna be very easy to get installed. And you've got all the hardware that you're gonna need included here. These are made here in the USA so you can trust they are gonna be good quality. That microcellular urethane is very durable. It works in temperatures from negative 25 degrees Fahrenheit up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, and it resists damage caused by oils, road salts, and UV rays. So it will hold up really well for you. It does have minimal lateral expansion so the springs will compress vertically instead of out to the sides. So they aren't easily damaged when operating in tight spaces. So they are gonna be very durable, hold up well for you for a long time to come. And they do 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, these are gonna do a really good job for you. You're not gonna have to worry about adjusting that air pressure like you would with airbags and it's gonna help make the ride a lot smoother for you. So that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.
