Comparing the Timbren # TMBFSP35 and SumoSprings # SSF-106-47 for a 2016 MB Sprinter 2500

Question

Question:

I am wondering what would be the best recommendation between front suspension systems Code SSF-106-47 SUMO or TMBFSP35 TIMBREN. We currently drive a 2016 MB 2500 Sprinter 2WD 170 Ext cargo van which we are slowly converting to a camping rig. Thank you in advance!

Out of the Timbren # TMBFSP35 and the SumoSprings # SSF-106-47 suspension enhancement systems I recommend the SumoSprings.

Although they are very similar the SumoSprings provide more of a cushion and aren't as harsh or stiff as the Timbrens. This gives you a much more comfortable ride. Both options have a 1,000 lb weight capacity but please note that they will not raise the weight capacity of your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500. They are only meant to help support a suspension system that is in good working order.
