Question:

From the looks of it the rear gets a lift block with a bump stop pad. This retains factory bump stop pad. I believe that the sumo springs would work because the factory bump stop is still being used. Is there a measurement for the factory gap between axle and bump stop? if so what is the measurement of the sumo springs so I can measure out truck? Thanks

Expert Reply:

I am not familiar with the Pro Comp kit; I did look it up and from the installation manual it seems like all parts of the rear suspension were affected. Can you confirm if there is any type of interference with the leaf spring? Your only option is going to be a kit that attaches above the factory leaf spring but if there is interference of any kind then it would not be a fit.

I added a couple of photos from the installation instructions of the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-117-47 that fit your 2018 Ford F-150 so you can see that it measures approximately 9-1/2" total which may not be long enough to work and would require no interference from your F-150's frame to the leaf springs. As I mentioned, your best bet, if there is no interference on your leaf springs, is the SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit # SSA28. I added a photo which shows how this will look when installed; it runs the length of your F-150's leaf spring and installs with U-bolts and shackles. Installation instructions for both parts are included so you can take a look and compare it to see if the parts from your Pro Comp Lift Kit will allow for a suspension enhancement to be installed.
