Do the Coil SumoSprings for a 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris Provide Lift & Reduce Squat

Question

Question:

coil sumo springs PN: 1195R Installed on 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo van I just installed a sumo spring. Before I go any further I need to know if this is a correct fit since there is a ~ 2-1/2inch end to end gap when the coil spring is unloaded - See attached photo. Reason for question is install photo shows no gap. Please clarify as soon as possible so I can proceed. Thanks !

The Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension # CSS-1195R are not going to provide you with much lift on your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris, if any at all. The Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension # CSS-1195R were not designed to provide lift. They were designed to help support a heavy load on your suspension.

I was unable to get a definitive answer on how much your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris would squat with the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension # CSS-1195R installed. The Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension # CSS-1195R are designed to become stiffer when more weight is loaded onto your vehicle and to keep the vehicle more level. You can expect the coil capacity to be increased by 15% to 30%.

Yes, it is ok for the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension # CSS-1195R to have a gap like that when installed, so long as they are firmly installed in the coil. The main thing you would be concerned about is the coil overlapping too much. "If the ends are overlapping more than 1 inch, you may need to cut off the excess overlap. Cut the excess of the Coil SumoSprings so that you have an overlap of 1/2" to 1"."
