There are springs available that will enhance the suspension of your 2017 Ford Transit 350 Cutaway, though there are no rear sway bars that will fit.

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. Each of these helper springs absorb shocks, reduce sway and keep your van level even when making sharp turns. They install without drilling and will not require any type of maintenance.

The only difference between the two springs are the load they are designed for. SumoSprings # SSR-121-54 have a weight capacity (at 50 percent compression) of 2,800 lbs, while SumoSprings # SSR-121-47 have a weight capacity (at 50 percent compression) of 1,500 lbs.

Answer 12

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.…
