Which SumoSprings for 2001 Toyota Tundra Towing Travel Trailer

Question

Question:

I think the SumoSprings would work well for my 2001 Tundra as I want to pull a 19foot camper trailer. I would like to know which one you would recommend, the 2800 lb capacity or the 1500 lb capacity? Thank you

The best way to choose the correct Sumo Springs for your 2001 Toyota Tundra is based off the tongue weight of the trailer you're going to be pulling and the overall capacities on your vehicle. The payload capacity on a 2001 Tundra is a maximum of 1900-lbs depending on the configuration of the vehicle, so I think the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-610-54 that are rated for 2800-lbs are a bit overkill for towing a smaller travel trailer.

I recommend using the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-610-47 which are rated to provide up to 1500-lbs of support to prevent sag while towing. The SumoSprings are a nice solution that are designed to replace your factory bump stops and because they get stiffer as weight is added they won't impact your unloaded ride quality. Considering what you'll be towing and the capacities on your 2001 Tundra, I think these will do a great job for you.

I've linked some review videos of the SumoSprings for you to check out.

The SumoSprings I recommend for your 2016 Toyota Tundra to help with sag are the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs #SSR-610-54. Since you have a more constant load on the rear of your truck with the heavier camper, and you also tow, the best…

Hello Jhon, thanks for reaching out. Both the Timbren kits you mentioned are going to fit the 2013 Toyota Tacoma. The difference is the application and the weight capacity. The #TABSOSR are intended for off-road applications and are rated for 3,600…

A hitch extension does cut your trailer hitch capacity by 50 percent, but for as light of a trailer as you have and how heavy duty your tow vehicle is that wouldn't be an issue. So yes, a 14 inch hitch extension like the #C45795 would be a solid…

The #D30 you referenced is for hitch fabrication and it sounds like you simply need a hitch extender. There is an 18 inch extension, the Curt Extender for 2" Receivers -18" Long #C45796 which you can use with a bike rack. The only thing to…

Yes, your 2000 Ford F-350 can use a ball mount with a 2 inch drop like #C45310 with an 18 inch extension, the Curt Extender #C45796. Keep in mind an extender will reduce the capacity of your trailer hitch, the Reese by 35 percent and the Curt by 50…

The only other extension option we carry besides the Torklift SuperTruss extender that does not cut your tongue weight in half is an extra long ball mount. Traditional extensions such as part #C45796 cut the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on the…

One of the differences between Draw Tite adapter #HE18 and the Curt model #C45796 is the length. They both have 18" between hitch pin hole and the ball hole, the Curt is overall a bit longer. The Curt has an overall length 23-1/4" and the…

We do offer hitch extenders/adapters that will fit into a 2-1/2-inch hitch and reduce the receiver opening size down to a 2-inch size but none of these is 18-inches long. There is another way to go that might work for your application. You could use…

Hey Brandon. The longest hitch extender we have is the 14" long Gen-Y Hitch item #GY89SR. This fits a 2" receiver and has a 10,000 lbs capacity but it will reduce your hitches capacity by 50% like all hitch extenders do. The 15-3/4"…

I would recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs #AL88299 over the SumoSprings #SSR-610-47 for your 2016 Toyota Tundra carrying a slide in camper. The Air springs allow you to adjust the air pressure in the springs to dial…

Answer 12

Sumo Springs should do a great job at helping to control the movement of your 2018 Toyota Tundra but if your suspension is worn out then newer leaf springs would help, but if you have the 1,000 lb SumoSprings #SSR-610-40 you can upgrade to a stronger…
