Features to know about

Stay Level and Confident Under Load: 1,000-lb Rear Suspension Support

When the rear sags under a heavy trailer or bed load, steering and braking can get sketchy. These SumoSprings Solo helper springs add up to 1,000 lbs of support at 50-percent compression to keep your ride level and steady. They back up your factory suspension so weight stays balanced across both axles, which means better traction, smoother handling, and headlights that stay aimed where they should.

Smooth Ride Over Every Bump: Progressive Load Control

Rough roads and uneven loads don’t have to beat you up. These microcellular urethane springs compress progressively—soft at first for light loads and firming up as weight increases. That smooths out bumps and reduces bottoming out without making the unloaded ride harsh. The closed-cell material also damps vibration so your ride stays comfortable mile after mile.

Comparison image showing SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs installed on a vehicle rear axle, with one spring uncompressed and one compressed under load to demonstrate suspension support and leveling performance.

Stay Steady in Crosswinds and Turns: Independent Spring Action

When side winds or sharp turns try to push you around, these springs work independently to keep each side planted. They help cut down body roll and sway so the vehicle feels more stable on highways, ramps, and uneven ground. Off-center loads are handled with less lean and less drama behind the wheel.

Built Tough for Real-World Use: Durable Microcellular Urethane

These springs are made from rugged microcellular urethane that resists abrasion, oils, road salts, and UV rays. They handle temperatures from -25 F to 200 F and compress vertically with minimal side expansion so they fit safely even in tight spots. No air lines, tubing, or adjustments needed—just solid, maintenance-free support that’s always ready for the next haul.

Quick Weekend Upgrade: Simple No-Drill Installation

You don’t need air compressors or fancy tools to add serious load support. The kit includes two jounce-style springs that bolt into place with a simple no-drill install. Once mounted, they’re always there working quietly in the background every time you hook up the trailer or load the bed.

Shipping was fast. Packaged well but spacer washer was not included. Luckily I'm a guy that keeps extra hardware around. Installed this morning in about 45 minutes. The brake bracket was the hardest part. All the rest of installation was straight forward and easy. Maybe I was lucky this morning. Will update on performance once I drive with my camper in tow. Installed on my 2019 Z71 Duramax long bed Colorado.

Thought about air bags for '19 Canyon w/Duramax towing 5k# camper. This product works just as well. Easy install prevents bottoming out with weight on the hitch and better stability. Baby Max pulls great.

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.

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?

@ClaireH yes Ms Claire. I plan to put a truck camper on the Jeep (that weighs in the 500-1000 lbs range). My payload is 1700 lbs so I know a camper of the weight will be significant my truck. Already ordered a stiffer rear anti-sway bar as well.

@Justin That sounds like a good plan! These SumoSprings plus the sway bar should be more than enough to handle the weight of your truck bed camper.

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.

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.

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.

I put a set of 47s on my Silverado 1500 and towed my dump trailer that weighed 6000 pounds the way I had it loaded for 50 miles on all kinds of roads and it worked well. I didn’t use the spacers and the truck still rides like it did before the install.

Glad the Sumos are helping make your loads easier to tow!

by:
Jeep Gladiator Mojave - swapped out the rear stock bump stops with these. High quality parts. Just jack up the truck enough to give you room to work with and put in your jack stands, no need to remove the wheels. I look forward to seeing how they do with towing! Hopefully I can update my review here afterwards. Check out the gap difference in the pictures. Should touch sooner during normal drive conditions and hopefully help reduce some trailer squat and help towing to be smoother.

Opted for the Blue 1000lb Sumo's w/spacer over the 1500lb Black ones. 1500 Silverado Max Tow & reduces squatting by 2" on a 1000lb+ tongue weight. Ride is still good, but you can feel the Sumo's engage over large dips or bumps which is not an issue for me.

I got the springs installed last week and wanted to have a drive time before I wrote the review.

The height of the springs are perfect for my 2016 Tacoma, They keep the truck stable and nearly eliminate the body roll I had before installing them. I am heading to the mountains in a couple weeks, so I will update the review when I get back. That way I will know for sure the body roll is gone and the truck is stable on the winding mountain roads.

The springs installed in no time at all and since I had the rear end apart, I decided to add the leveling blocks at the same time, to keep the truck from squatting with the gear I haul around with me.

The guys at etrailer are great. And while I did not call them to discuss this item, they have been very helpful in the past with all my questions.

Below are pictures of before, a couple comparisons and after. Sorry if they come out sideways.

These Sumo Springs were a great addition to my Tacoma and well worth the money, IMHO.

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.

Got them installed no issues the reason for 4 stars is one side touches top of axle the other side does not no one could tell me if this was right or wrong also haven't pulled 5th wheel yet to feel the ride or handling so we will see thanks

Definitely helps with squat on '24 F250 from boat trailer tongue weight. These do come with a plate to avoid uneven contact or wear.
I mounted using all spacers , stock is same unless speed bumps or large dips, u feel the stiffness/contact of sumo as expected. May take one spacer out .
Super easy to install , better than leaking bags.
Time will tell how they last

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?

I had installed this model SumoSpring on my 2019 4Runner and had great results when towing the camper I had at the time. They greatly reduce the bounce when going over dips in the road at highway speeds. Now I have a 2021 Titan and a bigger heavier camper. I expect the same great results on the Titan. Installation was pretty straight forward and took about a half hour. The size difference between the OEM bump stops and the SumoSprings alone should give a better ride when towing my camper.

I bought a 2027 RAM 1500 to tow my 20' 5000lb Forest River. Easy to install. I did it in my driveway in 1.5hrs. Some of the bolts were dificult to access due to mufflers etc but a short wrench worked well. When I first hooked up my trailer I had 4" of rear bed setelment. With springs installed I had less than 2". Front lift is about 1/2". Did not compromise driving comfort and appeared to dampen trailer "flex" on RxR tracks etc. My right handled very well on a trip from S Florida to N Georgia on Interstates and secondary roads.

  • Air Bag System For 2020 Chevy Colorado ZR2
    Hi Jason! We do indeed have an air bag option for your 2020 Chevy Colorado with the ZR2 package. Check out the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL59533. The only option this will not fit is the diesel, so as long you have the gas model ZR2, you are good to go. On the flip side, if you do have a diesel, there doesn't look to be any air bag options for some reason. In this case, I recommend going with the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS4617....

  • Do I Need Sumo Springs on Both Front and Rear Axle Using Weight Distribution on 2017 Chevy Colorado
    A weight distribution system will transfer weight from the rear axle to the front axle on the tow vehicle but it won't be enough to sag the front suspension and engage the jounce spring most likely. Therefore, you would only want SumoSprings on the rear axle, even when using a weight distribution system. I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-212-40 or part # SS85FR for models with a diesel engine. The suspension supports will engage first, then you'll set the...

    I can definitely shed some light on the confusion. While the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SS85FR and the # SSR-212-40 seem to be exactly identical other than the color, they actually have different-shaped mounting brackets on them to fit different submodels of 2016 Chevy Colorado. I went ahead and attached photos that show this difference. With that being said, you are absolutely correct that the # SS85FR is customized for diesel models. However, the # SSR-212-40...
