Question:

Trying to decide which is the better product for my Nissan 2017 Titan SL 4wd in which I pull a 24foot Dual axle Travel Trailer with an equalizer sway control hitch for added support, Timbren TNRTTN vs Sumo Springs SS95GR. Any recommendations, or is it like the Ford or Chevy argument?

Expert Reply:

It's not quite a Ford vs Chevy or Nike vs Adidas argument since there are some functional differences between the suspension enhancements available for your 2017 Nissan Titan SL.

The Super Springs Sumo Springs Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS95GR and Timbren SES # TNRTTNB are going to provide different levels of support. The Super Springs are going to do a better job of not affecting the unloaded ride quality since they get progressively stiffer as more weight is applied to them, where the Timbren systems available for your truck are going to be stiffer and designed for heavier duty towing applications.

For this reason I do recommend the # SS95GR for your 2017 Nissan Titan SL, since most of your driving would likely be without towing a trailer and the Timbrens would have a bit harsher ride in this instance. I normally only recommend the Timbren springs over Super Springs when it's a very heavy duty towing application and I think you'll have a much better quality of ride when not towing, while still providing extra support when towing.
