Best Suspension Enhancement for 2019 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500

Published 10/21/2021

Question:

I have a 2020 Winnebago Revel, built on a 2019 Sprinter 2500, VS30 4x4 chassis. I want to improve ride, reduce body motion and sway in high winds, turns and on rough roads and help with rear load carrying capacity. Will the Sumo springs do that? Importantly, I have read about frame cracking problems on the unibody Sprinter chassis when using these Sumo springs. Should I be concerned about that? Is that problem limited to the rear suspension, or does it also affect the front suspension, if front sumo springs are installed. Are both front and rear necessary to achieve desired results?

For what you are wanting from the ride of your 2019 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 the absolute best option for suspension enhancement is the RoadActive Suspension Kit part # RAS3620. This gives you additional support, less sway and body roll, and noticeably improved ride quality and handling whereas other options will make for a rougher ride quality. There's also no issues reported with chassis cracking with these kits. The support of this is also adjustable unlike the SumoSprings kit you mentioned.

There is no front suspension enhancement needed with the RAS.
