Features to know about

Stay Level and Confident Under Load: 2,800-lb Rear Suspension Support

Heavy loads can make the rear of your vehicle sag, throwing off steering and braking. These SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs add up to 2,800 lbs of support at 50-percent compression, helping your suspension stay level when towing or hauling cargo. They keep your ride height steady so front tires maintain better contact with the road for safer handling, steering control, and correct headlight aim.

Comparison of SumoSprings Solo Helper Springs installed on a vehicle rear axle showing standard versus compressed states to demonstrate load support and shock absorption.

Smooth Ride Over Bumps and Rough Roads: Progressive Load Control

Not every trip carries the same weight. These microcellular urethane springs compress easily with light loads for a softer, more comfortable ride, and stiffen progressively as weight increases. That means less bounce and sway when loaded and a smooth ride when empty—all without needing to adjust air pressure or monitor lines.

Stay Steady in Crosswinds and Turns: Independent Spring Action

When crosswinds or uneven roads try to push you around, each spring works independently to stabilize the vehicle. This helps control body roll on sharp turns and keeps the ride balanced even when loads are off-center. The result is a more controlled feel through corners, driveways, and highway gusts.

Built Tough for Real-World Conditions: Maintenance-Free Design

Made from high-density microcellular urethane, these springs resist abrasion, oil, salt, and UV damage while performing in temperatures from -25 F to 200 F. They compress vertically with minimal side expansion so nearby parts stay protected. With no air lines or pressure to maintain, they’re a simple, no-drill upgrade that adds lasting support without extra upkeep.

2,800-lb Capacity. Upgrade your vehicle's rear suspension with these maintenance-free helper springs. Sturdy microcellular urethane springs cushion bumps and help support a heavy load to level your ride and minimize sway. No-drill installation.

by:

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.

Easy install, great performance, no maintenance. What could be better.



by:

These work out very well. The customer was happy. Not hard to install was a plus.



by:

Easy order. Quick delivery. Easy instal lation.



by:

Product was easy to install and definitely helped reduce body roll and sway when being passed by semi’s or transitioning over curbs.



by:

Definately noticed the ride difference just leaving the driveway entering the street. Less sway and more solid feel of a ride. Installation was a bit trying to begin with, getting all the right combinations of sockets, extentions, ratchet in the tight area. Once that was figured out, the passenger side was completed in 10 minutes.



by:

Very easy to install. Improve suspension considerably. Melissa was a pleasure to deal with when ordering.

Works exactly as it should. Stabilizes my Ford transit350.



by:

I have a set of SumoSprings on my Super Duty. Adding these to my Transit was a no brainer.
Install went without a hitch. I'm ready to take them out for a test run.



by:

As always, I needed a host of devices to set up our new Toad, and etrailer was the perfect choice! Lot of product, in stock, for a decent price, and shipped quickly! HIGHLY recommend

Better ride for my transit250 high roof extended van



by:

Easy to install. Used on a custom campervan that is loaded slightly less than GVCW. The Sumo springs, with their progressive dampening characteristics, removed the sway of vehicle and improved the general handling. Highly recommend.



by:

Significant improvement in the handling in windy and rough road conditions. Increased height of back of my 2017 Fuse 23A by 1 to 1 1/2 inch.
I added the springs to help with the addition of another a/c on top at rear of my unit.
Very pleased and installation was straight forward and relatively easy. Took about 1 hour to complete.

The increased handling and height gain are helpful on all the road conditions I have encountered. The ride is a little more stiff than the original factory suspension but the improvement of handling and reduction of sway is worth the small increase in the stiffer ride. Would recommend for all Winnebago Fuse owners



by:

These sumo springs did the job. I'm an electrician and our vans are heavly loaded when set up. I put them on a Ford 250 transit van to bring it back up to stock height after the van was loades with shelving, ladder racks, tools, and parts. The ride is great and the install was very easy. I would buy them again.



by:

The sumosprings make a noticable improvement in handling of my RV.

Sounds like theyre doing their jobs well and thats great to hear! Were you on a the road a lot this summer?



by:

I think this is the best option for my 2023 Ford Transit Trail 350. It has somewhat restored the leaf spring arc. The way I think it should be.



by:

Installed easily once I got the correct small extensions so I could get them back out after tightening. With both spacers on my 21 Thor Gemini it sits about 1/4” off axle plate. Helps significantly with body roll.



by:

Definitely improved the ride... Much firmer cornering and handling... Super easy installation but note that due to the clearance, you will need to put the deep socket in first, then the short extension & then connect the ratchet. Also, I reached above the spring and hand threaded the long bolt before using the wrench.

  • SumoSprings and Sway Bar For a Thor Compass On 2018 Ford Transit 350HD Chassis
    Yes, I always prefer to also install the Front # CSS-1195F with the Rear # SSR-121-54 SumoSprings on your Thor Compass with the 2018 Ford Transit 350 HD chassis. The combination will greatly improve your ride quality and reduce the amount of sag the chassis will have due to the additional weight. We do offer the Hellwig Adjustable Rear Anti-Sway Bar # HE44YR for your Transit chassis. This is the only currently available sway bar I can find. The 1-3/8" chromoly steel bar is going to be...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement For a 2018 Ford Transit 350HD Camper Van
    For your 2018 camper van on the Ford Transit 350HD having the dual wheel wheels I recommend installing the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-121-54. These will help to reduce the rear end sag and increase stability around turns. The Firestone # F53ZR and other air spring products we carry are not compatible with your dual rear wheels. You can also add the Coil SumoSprings # CSS-1195F to your front suspension. These will also help increase stability when turning while also helping...

  • Is There a Gap with SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs On 2016 Ford Transit T350 Chassis
    I reached out to my contact at SuperSprings about the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-121-54 for a 2016 Ford Transit T350 chassis and they stated that the gap between the spring and contact point can vary by application as this spring can be used on both standard models and cutaways. The gap should be less when used on a motorhome but there are too many factors to say exactly what that will be. They stated a lot of these small Sprinter van chassis don't pre-load the spring...

  • Which Jounce Bumper Replacement Helper Spring for 2021 Ford Transit T250 Camper Conversion
    If your 2021 Ford Transit T250 is a high roof model, the Timbren # TFRTR350 you'd looked at would be a fit. This being said, the Timbren # TFRTR350 which provide a combined 5600 lb capacity would provide a pretty harsh ride, which I'm not certain you'd be happy with. Instead, I'd recommend the SumoSprings # SSR-121-54 which bolt to the frame above the rear axle, replacing the factory bump stops. The SumoSprings have a combined 2800 lb rated capacity, and are constructed of a more pliable...

  • Recommended Air Helper Springs For A 2020 Ford Transit T250 With 6 Inch Lift
    When installing Air Helper Springs on your 2020 Ford Transit T250 with a 6 inch lift I recommend The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers - Rear Axle # AL88213. The Sumo Spring option # SSR-121-54 will not work because there is not way to get it to work with the 6 inch lift. The Airlift # AL88213 has a 2-ply, fabric-reinforced rubber air spring which is very durable. The load-leveling capacity is up to 5,000 pounds, and the adjustable air pressure...

    The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-121-54 will include 2 sets of M10-1.5 bolts for mounting in place of the factory bump stop. The lengths are going to be 55mm and 80mm to account for the different height spacers that you may need.

  • Sumo Springs Solo Helper Spring Recommended for Coachmen Beyond Class B Motorhome
    You're on the right track in my opinion. I'd eliminate the Sumo Springs Solo # SSR-121-54 from consideration because that'd be more support than you'd actually need and would tend to provide a harsher ride than what your looking for. The SumoSpirings # SSR-121-40 offers 1000 lbs of additional support and the # SSR-121-47 would give 1500 lbs of additional support. The # SSR-121-47 would provide the best compromise between the needed support without making your motorhome ride like a buckboard,...

  • Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement for a 2020 Ford Transit T350 with Dual Rear Wheels
    I have a few different suggestions and it all depends on what style of 2020 Ford Transit T350 you have. If your T350 is a cargo van then the best suspension enhancement available is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit # F2603 because you can manually adjust how much help your rear suspension is getting at any given point in time. To help you monitor and control the amount of psi in the air springs I also recommend installing the Air Command Compressor System # F2610. This not...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement For 2016 Thor Gemini 23TR
    I do have a suspension enhancement option for you but the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F2603 are designed for the Ford Transit Cargo Van. There are currently not any air bags available for the 2016 Thor Gemini 23TR on Transit Chassis but I recommend to use the SumoSprings part # SSR-121-54.

  • SumoSprings for RV on 2016 Ford Transit 350 Chassis
    For your RV built on a Ford Transit 350 chassis I highly recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-121-54. These springs will compress to help the squatting you are experiencing in your motorhome. Any suspension enhancement you get is going to impact how your RV drives, but it will be an improvement. The SumoSprings # SSR-121-54 keep you level and work independently so there will be less sway and body roll as you turn. They are simple to install and do not require drilling,...

The helper springs that will fit your 2017 Transit Cutaway are the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-121-54 and # SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs SSR-121-47.

  • Will The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-121-54 Fit a 2024 Ford Transit 350?
    I do see the 2024 Ford Transit 350 is unchanged from the 2023 model year so there should be no reason the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-121-54. When I reached out to SumoSprings they have not yet been able to verify fitment yet as they have not had a 2024 in their facility to test on.
