Will The SumoSprings Cause My Tires To Wear Uneven On The Front Of My 2015 Coachmen Prism RV?

Question:

I purchased the blue sumosprings for my 2015 Mercedes Benz 3500 sprinter motor home which is a coachman prism 2150. After I installed the blue Sumosprings it looks like my front tires are leaning in due to the extra height from the Sumosprings. Is this normal? Will this cause my tires to wear uneven? I also installed the yellow Sumosprings on the rear, I like the extra height but am somewhat concerned about the front. I look forward to your response. Kind regards.

It is normal for the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSF-106-40 to raise the front of your 2015 Coachmen Prism 2150. The springs are providing additional support to the suspension system from all the additional weight that Coachmen added to your Sprinter Chassis. The tires will still operate in the working angles of the factory suspension so there is no concern over uneven tire wear.

If anything as the suspension is now closer to correct ride height you may see an improved tire wear as the tire will be distributing the weight more evenly across the tire tread.
