I do have a set of SumoSprings for the rear of your 2013 Ford Explorer. For this, you will want to use the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension part # CSS-1125R. These are designed to attach to the coil spring and will work to reduce body roll and level the vehicle.

Although the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs will work for you, I recommend using a set of air springs like the Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs part # AL60821 as these will install inside your factory coil springs and will do a much better job of improving steering/braking performance, helping to maintain safe headlight aim, and keep your tires from wearing unevenly. They are also a more cost effective option in comparison to the SumoSprings.

I have attached a review video of the SumoSprings for you.

Hello Barry, Since you already have a weight distribution (WD) hitch and are only experiencing a little rear sag, I recommend going with SumoSprings. I typically only suggest Timbrens for those who are towing heavy loads regularly, as they can create…

Hi Todd, I know exactly the feeling you’re describing, and you’re definitely not alone. That floaty, pushy feeling at highway speeds, especially when trucks pass, is really common on the Sprinter 3500 chassis with a taller coach like your Tiburon,…

Hey Don, thanks for reaching out. Yeah, the driver’s side on those F53 chassis can get tight, you’ve usually got brake lines, wiring, or a bracket sitting right where you want that Timbren to live. You’re doing the right thing paying attention to it,…

Hi Tim, That's a great question! While Timbrens and SumoSprings are both suspension enhancements, they perform differently depending on how much weight you're towing/hauling and how often you're planning on towing/hauling. The only…
