Can I Use the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs When Towing a Bumper Pull Trailer  

Updated 04/06/2021 | Published 04/05/2021

Question:

I see this is great for 5th wheel and gooseneck, but would it also help with bumper pull trailers? Looking to put on my 2014 Ram 2500

Expert Reply:

Yes. The SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - 2 Piece - Rear Axle # SS27GR are not limited to use with a 5th wheel trailer and can be used any time your 2014 Ram 2500 needs a bit of extra support. These will work when towing bumper pull trailers, 5th wheel trailers or just carrying heavy payloads in the truck bed.
