Published 04/25/2022 >
Question:
The last of your vide states the sumo springs do increase the load capacity of the vehicle. Isnt that the purpose of the springs in the first place?

Expert Reply:
Suspension enhancement kits like the SumoSprings Solo part # SS98DR to provide additional support for the vehicle suspension but the reason that does not increase the overall towing capacity of the vehicle is because there are other factors that need to be considered as well like engine, braking, transmission, chassis, differential, and cooling system capacity. Since the suspension is only one aspect of a vehicle's capacity these kits do not increase capacity for everything.
