Front Suspension Support
A heavy front load, such as a snowplow or a winch, can cause front-end sag as your factory suspension compresses under the weight of the load. This means that the front 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 rear axle, your rear 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 front 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 rear 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.
Durable, Custom-Fit Springs
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.

Speaker 1: Today we're taking a look at the SumoSpring Solo custom helper springs for the front axle. This product fits certain years of the Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500. To ensure that it is a fit for your vehicle, you can use the vehicle fit guide, which is located at etrailer.com.Now helper springs are designed to upgrade your vehicles front suspension for improved driver control and comfort. What they do is, they support heavy front end loads to help keep your vehicle level. They also help absorb bumps and road shocks and they help minimize sway.They do feature progressive load control so these springs will compress according to the weight of your cargo. So for instance, on lighter loads, the springs compress easily at first for nice soft engagement and a less bumpy ride.
And then for heavier loads, the springs compress by as much as 80% for maximum support.They work independently from one another, side to side, to compensate for those off-center loads and reduce body roll during sharp turns. They're made from a durable micro-cellular urethane designed to work in temperatures from negative 25 degrees Fahrenheit to positive 200 degrees Fahrenheit. And the construction is also designed to resist damage that's typically caused by oils, road salts, and UV rays.With these, you'll notice minimal lateral expansion. So that means that these springs compress vertically instead of off to the sides, so that way they aren't easily damaged when operating in tight spaces.And my favorite feature is that they're completely maintenance free. You install them and you forget about them.
There's no tubing to run or air pressure to monitor like with air springs. And it's a simple no-drill installation. They attached to they mounting point already on the vehicle. So you'll remove your old bump stop and install this one in the same location. It does have the threaded stud on there, it comes with a new washer and lock nut for installation.
So again, simply no-drill installation. The product's made in the USA. Weight capacity at 50% compression. That's 1400 pounds. Just keep in mind that SumoSprings will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity.That's going to do it for today's look at the SumoSprings Solo custom helper springs for the front axle..

Always a pleasure to do business with etrailer.
Great communication fast service.
Highly recommended

Installation was a pain. The instructions were impossible to accomplish. I used YouTube and found a much easier way to install. But still had to have my son install the rear sumos.

They do what they were intended to do - reduce the effect of slightly overloaded factory springs.

Great easy solution for loaded 4x4 170 Sprinter.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Installed on a fully loaded Sprinter Camper Van. Major improvement to the handling of the Van. Helper springs were also installed on the rear. Overall, van rides much better and seems to respond better at highway speeds and windy conditions.

2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Installation was easy. I didn't even have to jack the front end of my 2018 4WD sprinter up. I wish the stud in the sumo spring was at least 1/4" longer. The stud that was in the sumo spring was just long enough to be flush with the end of the Nyloc nut. It should have protruded out at least 1/8". The ride was improved but I haven't really taken a long trip yet. Delivery was very quick.

The front Sumo springs still seem to be a correct choice for me. The ride is improved particularly with regard to sway during high winds and during turns.
by: Mike 12/13/2022
2020 Ram 3500
I bought these for my 2020 4x4 Sprinter van, 3500, 144" WB, dually. I purchased both the front & rear springs. Installation wasn't too difficult and only took a few hours for each set working alone.
I had these on a Dodge 3/4 truck before and they helped with the sway when our camper was loaded and they worked pretty good.
Having put about 25,000 miles on them now I can honestly say that there is a noticeable difference under a variety of conditions. The van is inherently top-heavy so it's quite a chore to settle that down but these springs definitely made a difference and have made driving more comfortable, even in high side winds.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
These gave me the increased spring rate I was looking for in the front end of my 4x4 Sprinter.
The added spring rate did overwhelm the damping provided by the stock struts though, making for a bouncy ride, so I then added Bilstein B6 struts, which solved the problem. With this combination, the van handles significantly better with the light loads I typically carry.

Superfast shipping from eTrailer. Installation is a heck of a lot easier if you have a cordless ratcheting wrench and a decent jack. It definitely helps with the sway on the Sprinter.

These Sumo Springs were easy to install, even for a 70 year old guy. I tow a 7,000lb camper and even tho I have a nice WDH I still had som sag on my Tundra. These helped level it out when towing and got rid of “some” of the bounce. They were really a godsend when I overloaded the bed with about 2,000lbs of pavers. That weight squished the Sumos significantly but the truck drove and rode great. Better and less expensive than air bags.

I installed Sumo Springs on our 06 Xterra right after we bought our Casita 17' trailer. The back of the X squatted a bit more than I liked. I had also noticed before some tendency to bottom out if the car was full of people and stuff. These ingenious devices are a perfect solution for me! They are about 3/4" clear of being engaged with the axle when unloaded, so the ride is not overly affected, but progressively take up some of the weight when the back end starts coming down with load. It now sits very nicely with the trailer connected, no weight distributing hitch and stuff in the back, and no more bottoming. We've put a good number of miles on the X in the last year, towing and not towing, and they are still doing the job.
I should note, the back of my Xterra is lifted about an inch with AAL springs. If that were not the case, the Sumo Springs would be engaged all the time. That will vary with vehicle.
I will also note that they are non-adjustable, unlike airbags. I kinda like that, I didn't want to mess with adjusting air pressure and such. But once they do start kicking in as one or both wheels travel, they do stiffen it up quite a bit. I mean, there's no way around that; you can't take load without stiffening the suspension. As such I think they inhibit upward axle articulation a bit when 4-wheeling, but for us that's not a big deal. Since they do not connect to the axle, they don't affect downward articulation at all.
The pics are shortly after installation, one with the car unloaded, and two with trailer and gear loaded up.

Very easy installation in about 20 minutes. Very ingenious concept as opposed to bolt on leaf style helper springs
by: David03/21/2023
I believe it’s going to be a great addition to my truck when pulling our RV. Looking forward to a smoother, more even ride. I left the 2x4 blocks in overnig8ht and drove around to ensure a good seat for the springs.
by: Max 05/02/2023
I originally purchased the yellow sumo for additional support when hauling a small trailer or taking trash to the dump so I wouldn’t strain the vehicles suspension that I just replaced . I also never like to see a truck squat . Yellows were too stiff when unloaded so I got these blues sumo and it was a great decision . The ride type is back to original “comfortable” and the sumo still provides great handling when cornering reducing body sway / shock absorbing bumps. A good investment !
by: Mike07/21/2024
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.
by: Kenneth02/22/2023
Gave it 5 because of ease of install - note they use SAE threads 9/16, truck frame and oem is metric 15mm wrench. Makes no difference but don't use oem nuts on spring. I installed all shims supplied and this left about 3/4" gap so hoing its the best for my needs. Easy to reduce if needed.
by: Dan D.06/19/2024
I used the Sumo spring with the RAS system. I remove the pump stops and installed the sumo(without spacer) so the axle would be one inch from sumo so the RAS does the work when not pulling trailer and sumo sumos are activated with pulling the camper. The stability it created on highway and back winding roads was really great. Feels like a totally different truck when loaded up. The RAS came with an offset spacer to move the bump stop in a better place but I didn’t need it because the bracket with the sumo springs moved the unit back and in and had plenty of clearance for the RAC system. In total they only took15 minutes each side to install once the truck was up and the tires were off. The sumo spring and RAS together were amazing and would recommend them to anyone with an F150 that need a little more support near the bumper.

- Recommended SumoSprings For A 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Dually Motorhome You were definitely on the right track looking at SumoSprings, but the fit is going to depend on whether or not you have a 2WD or 4WD Sprinter.

After that you can further improve the ride by adding a front anti-sway bar; the combination of these two parts will dramatically increase the handling and comfort of your Thor Axis, allowing you to enjoy your time on the road instead of exhaustingly attempting to keep your rig centered at all times.
