Question:

Will the sumo springs work on a truck that has a 6” lift?

Expert Reply:

This will depend on how your 2011 Toyota Tundra was lifted. If it was a body/frame lift, then the SumoSprings # SSR-610-54 will work. This style of lift does not affect the suspension and basically keeps it stock, for the lack of a better word.

However, if it was a suspension lift that was done, then they will not fit. This style of lift creates too much of a gap for the # SSR-610-54 to supply any kind of support.

That being said, you are not completely out of luck with a suspension lifted vehicle. The Firstone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2445 can be paired with a spacer to get the needed height. These are also full adjustable from 100 psi, giving you all the support needed when towing, all the way down to 5 psi, making them feel nonexistent when not towing. The measurements are not always the same for each vehicle and each lift, so I have measurements listed below and the corresponding spacer that would be needed.

6 1/2 to 7 1/2 - # F2536
7 1/2 to 8 1/2 - # F2366
8 1/2 to 9 1/2 - # F2367
9 1/2 to 10 1/2 - # F2370
11 1/2 to 12 1/2 - # F2374
