Front Suspension Support

SumoSprings helper springs are great for RVs or motor homes that have slide-outs. Slide-out rooms and other heavy front loads 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 motor home's weight. 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 Rebel installed showing separation of 2-piece springs

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. The pieces come together to provide support when you are carrying a heavy front 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 compressing under load

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 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 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.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2000 Fleetwood Motorhome on Ford Chassis
    For your 2000 Fleetwood motorhome a little more information would help. A Ford F-550 chassis is a class C motorhome and a F-53 chassis is the class A motorhome. If you are just looking for shock absorption assistance that will help with body roll and stability, but sway control and steering are better addressed with other products. SInce you haven't hinted at that issue, I'll give you some recommendations for shock only. If you have the F-550 chassis motorhome, I recommend the Timbren...

  • Comparing Front Timbren and SumoSprings for a 2002 Ford F-53 Chassis
    When comparing the ride quality between the Timbren # TFFF53B and SumoSpring # SSF-172-40-2 I recommend going with the SumoSprings. Although Timbren is a very solid product, the SumoSprings have been proven to have more of a forgiving support over the Timbrens. This is supported by great reviews and feedback from customers. For your specific application the SumoSprings are installed so that half of each spring is on the top and the other half is on the bottom so when contact is made it...

  • How to Reduce Jolting Feeling in Steering and Rough Ride on a 1998 Fleetwood Pace Arrow Motorhome
    In order to reduce the jolting feeling in your steering you are going to want to add a steering stabilizer like the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer part # RM-RSSA. The Reflex Steering Stabilizer contains a tempered steel spring that will work to return the steering wheel back to its normal state while turning therefore reducing the jolting feeling. The only issue that you are going to have is that they do not make a bracket kit specifically for the V10 model, just the V8 model. However,...

  • SumoSprings Versus Timbren Suspension Enhancement For a 2000 National RV Tropi-Cal 6350 Motorhome
    I prefer using SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSF-172-40-2 for the front axle and SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-181-54-1 for the rear of your 2000 National RV Tropi-Cal 6350 motorhome. You have a Ford F-53 chassis with a GVWR of 20,500lbs. I find the SumoSprings work better as they are not as stiff as the Timbren Front # TFFF53MH and Rear # TFRF53A suspension. The stiffer ride the Timbrens give you can lead to more issues inside the camper as they do not absorb...

  • Recommendations For Reducing Sway And Body Roll In A 2004 Fleetwood Bounder 35E Workhorse W22
    With your Fleetwood Bounder being a 2004, I was unable to find out if it did or did not come with factory sway bars. However, this does not mean they cannot be added if there are no factory ones, or upgraded if there are. With that said, let's get into it. As a side note, all of these are designed to fit the 35E Workhorse W22 and are American made. To start, we have the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1259-109. This has a 1-3/4" diameter and will be more robust than factory sway bars....

  • SumoSpring Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 1997 Fleetwood Bounder on F-53 Chassis
    Your 1997 Fleetwood Bounder is built on a Ford F-53 chassis which we do have SumoSpring fits for. For the front axle you'd want the part # SSF-172-40-2 and then for the rear part # SSR-185-40-1 and you'd be set!

  • Sway Bar and Suspension Enhancement for 2000 Tiffin Allegro Bay 34-Foot Motorhome
    We can help you with suspension enhancement for your 2000 Tiffin Allegro Bay that is built on the Ford F-53 chassis. The SuperSprings kits you can use will depend on the coach's GVWR. If your coach has a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 26K then it may have a GVWR of more like 22,000-lbs in which case you can use rear axle kit # SSR-181-54-1 which is designed for vehicles with a GVWR between 20,000 and 22,000-lbs. This and similar kits for other coach weights appear on the linked...

  • SumoSprings Fit on 2003 Fleetwood Pace Arrow 37A on Ford F-53 Chassis
    You absolutely have the right SumoSprings for your 2003 Fleetwood Pace Arrow 37A on a Ford F-53 chassis. The part number you mentioned is for the front springs, but I do recommend adding the rear springs as well, or starting with the rear and then adding the front if needed. The correct fit for your motorhome for both the front and rear is the following: - Rear: SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs # SSR-187-54-1 - Front: SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSF-172-40-2 The...

  • Correct SumoSprings and Steering Stabilizer for 2002 Winnebago Adventurer
    The SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-181-54-1 for the rear and the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs part # SSF-172-40-2 for the front are an excellent option for a 2002 Winnebago Adventurer. They have many benefits and softening the ride is one of them. They are essentially a rubber spring placed between the axle and frame so all road shock has to go through the springs first. In regards to a steering stabilizer, the correct one is the Roadmaster Reflex Steering...

  • Sway Bar for a 1997 Fleetwood Bounder F-53
    For a 1997 Fleetwood Bounder you will want to use the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar item # 1139-144. This is the kit recommended for motorhomes 34 feet long and longer. I have linked an installation video below. You will need to check to ensure there is enough factory u-bolt available to accommodate the factory nut, washer and 1/2" plate. If the u-bolts are not long enough, the item # RM-590050-00 u-bolt replacement kit is needed. You may also want to replace the bushings. You can use the...

  • Which SumoSprings Model Do I Need for My 1997 Holiday Rambler on a F-53 Chassis?
    I have a solution for you. As far as Sumo Springs for your 1997 Holiday Rambler on a F-53 Chassis, we only carry suspension options that are rated to fit your vehicle with a GVWR of 22,000 pounds. There are different parts for the front and rear if you are looking at helper springs. I reached out to my representative at Super Springs, and he confirmed that the rear does take the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-181-54-1, not the Sumo Springs # SSR-187-54-1.

    For your 2000 National Sea View built on the Ford F-53 chassis you actually need the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - 2 Piece - Front Axle # SSF-172-40-2 instead of the # SSF-170-40-2 you mentioned.

  • Can I Get Replacement Hardware for SumoSpring Kit for a 1999 Ford F-53
    You can obtain replacement hardware for the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSF-172-40-2 through SuperSprings directly so you can reuse the blue springs that came with your SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSF-173-40-2, but when I spoke with my contact at SuperSprings he said as far as pricing goes you'll be better off either selling your current kit and putting that towards the 172-40-2 or exchanging your current kit for the one that you need if you haven't been using...

Although the # SSR-185-40-1 is confirmed to fit the F-53 it does not fit your Fleetwood Southwind. These will do an excellent job together to improve the ride on your motorhome. They will absorb bumps and shocks while minimizing sway. This will make it easier to drive and reduce fatigue...

  • Correct SumoSprings For Front and Rear Axle of 1999 National Sea View Motorhome Built On F53 Chassis
    I would be happy to help! For your 1999 Nation Sea View Motorhome built on the Ford F-53 chassis with a 20500lb GVWR you will need the SumoSprings # SSR-187-54-1 with a 7000lb capacity for the rear axle, and the # SSF-172-40-2 with a 3000lb rating for the front axle. This will give you a much smoother ride, and will help fight sway and body roll giving you a much more pleasant driving experience.

  • Can You Upgrade the Front Sway Bar On a 1996 Tiffin Allegro Motorhome
    The Roadmaster Polyurethane Bushing Kit for Factory Front Anti-Sway Bars part # RM-4139-127 will fit your 1996 Tiffin Allegro Motorhome on a Ford F-53 Chassis and like an upgraded front sway bar will work to improve stability. Although they do not offer an actual upgraded front sway bar for your motorhome, the bushing kit is the next best thing as it will really tighten up the what I assume are very worn out factory bushings. These new bushings are made of polyurethane which are much stiffer...

    The SumoSprings Rebel Helper Spring part # SSF-172-40-2 will work on an RV that has a Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer.

  • Will SumoSprings for a 1999 Itasca Sunrise Improve Ride Quality
    Yes, the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs will help to smooth out the ride on a Ford F-53 Chassis. The anti-sway bars and steering stabilizers help with stability but don't really do much for ride quality. The springs however work as a cushion between the body and frame therefore offer improvements in ride quality. The correct kit for the rear is part # SSR-185-40-1 and part # SSF-172-40-2 for the front. I suggest the rear if only doing one but both is better.
