Question:

I have a 2014 f350 4x4. I pull a 40 ft gooseneck trailer. My truck is starting to bottom out as I go over bumps in road with trailer in tow. I’m sure my suspension is worn. Will sumosprings help me from bottom out and if so which ones? Thanks

SumoSprings will absolutely help your 4-wheel drive 2014 Ford F-350 from bottoming out when you are towing your large gooseneck trailer. The way these springs work is that they act as a buffer for your factory suspension, so when you are towing and the back end of your truck sags, they will take the brunt of that weight, and when going over bumps, the springs will engage even more, compressing to reduce the stress put on your F-350's leaf springs.

The best option for your 4WD 2014 F-350, with such a large gooseneck trailer, is going to be the 5,000 lb capacity SumoSprings, with the correct fit for your truck being the following:

- SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SS96MR

The SumoSprings # SS96MR are a really nice choice for your F-350, and are going to not only help keep your truck from bottoming out, but they will also enhance your truck's overall handling when towing because they will help your truck level, allowing the weight to be more evenly distributed across your F-350's front and rear axles.
