Recommended Suspension Enhancement For A 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500

Published 12/28/2021

Question:

Hi, My wife is morbidly obese, weighing in around 800lbs, and is unable to get in and out of my truck due to her size. I bought a 2022 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 so that she could use the rear doors to enter the vehicle so that I can take her to her doctor appointments. Due to her extreme weight the Sprinter is sagging an awful amount and I was wondering what you would recommend to enhance the suspension? God Bless,

For your 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 I recommend the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - 2 Piece - Rear Axle # SS23FR. These maintenance-free microcellular urethane springs have a combined 5,000lb capacity to upgrade the rear suspension of your Sprinter. These springs have progressive load control, meaning the springs compress according to the weight of your cargo. The springs compress easily at first for soft engagement and a less bumpy ride for lighter loads and for heavier loads the springs compress by as much as 80 percent for support.

The springs work independently from each other to compensate for off-center loads and reduce body roll during sharp turns as well. They are a simple no-drill, bolt-on installation that will replace the replace the factory bumpstop on your Sprinter.
