While both the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFFF53B & # TFRF53A and the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSF-170-40-2 & # SSR-180-54-1 are both great solutions for your 2019 Jayco Precept 31UL, there are some differences to take note of.

Timbren is a bit more renown in this space and while a very solid product, that strength comes with the tradeoff that the ride quality can be stiff. Made from a rigid rubber construction, it can be less forgiving and this has been borne out in customer feedback.

Made instead from microcellular urethane, SumoSprings offer better ride quality because they aren't as stiff and will compress more gently. Also when they are installed, half of each spring is on the top and the other half is on the bottom so when contact is made, it is spring-to-springs whereas the Timbrens work so that the spring comes into contact with the frame directly.

Included are video resources with more information on both solutions.

Hi Kris; Safe-T-Plus doesn't list a specific kit for the #ST69VR. According to their guide you have to measure your U-bolt diameter and tie rod diameter, then call them. If you can give me that information I can see what mounting kit will work…

Answer 8

Although either the #SSR-187-40-1 Sumo Spring or the Timbren #TFRF53A would be a great choice, the Timbren Aeon spring is actually rated higher at 8600 lbs, versus 2600 lbs for the Sumo Springs alternative. Neither of these options will come into…

Answer 9

The biggest difference between the two for your 2019 Thor ACE 30.2 motorhome, and the reason why I highly recommend the SumoSprings over the Timbren, is what each product is constructed from. The Timbrens are made from a strong, rigid rubber while…
