Recommended SumoSprings For 2016 Toyota Tacoma Carrying 1045lb Truck Bed Camper

Question

Question:

Hello, I have a 2016 Tacoma with a 1045 pound pop-up camper in the truck bed. I cant decide between the blue or black sumo springs. I do a lot of city driving, so Im very concerned about about a really stiff ride with the 1500 pound black springs, although Im certain they would better off road. I also have a 2000 pound Helwig helper leaf spring to help with the extra weight. Any suggestions?

I would be happy to help!

Since you already have a 2000lb Hellwig helper leaf spring installed in your 2016 Toyota Tacoma I recommend going with the SumoSprings # SSR-612-40. These will give you an additional 1400lbs of load leveling support while carrying your 1045lb truck bed camper, and will not affect the unloaded ride of your truck so no need to worry about them being too stiff.

I included a video of the # SSR-612-40 for you to take a look at.
