SumoSprings Custom Rear Axle Helper Springs # CSS-1168R are a good choice for your application since they will provide progressive resistance as the load on them increases, and unlike complex air bag systems these Sumo helper springs require zero maintenance.

I have attached the installation guide for your review. These include clear step-by-step instructions and excellent color photographs.

You will need a floor jack, 2 jack stands and 4 wheel blocks for safe installation. Soapy water will also ease insertion of the urethane springs. The rear suspension must hang freely to allow you to insert and secure these within the turns of the rear coils. Once in place they are secured with the supplied zip ties.

Please note that products like the SumoSprings do not increase the weight carrying capacity of your vehicle.

Hi Nick, No, you don't need zip ties for the Coil SumoSprings #CSS-1168R; some people use them but the spring should seat nicely into the coils without them so they aren't necessary.
