Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2021 Honda CR-V

Published 01/26/2023

Question:

For a 2021 Honda CRV, which is better and why, the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs # CSS-1125R or, the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL98WQ? I already have a receiver hitch from etrailer installed and used a cargo carrier, it wasnt loaded too heavy but caused the car to squat almost 3 inches. It wasnt enough make steering go lite but I didnt like that much squat. It was only a short trip but I want to be better prepared for a longer trip. I will also be using a 4-bike rack at times too instead of the cargo carrier.

The only suspension enhancement option we currently offer for a 2021 Honda CR-V are from Air Lift, the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs part # AL98WQ which are what I recommend. I recommend these because they are adjustable so you can adjust the pressure inside for the perfect mix between support and comfort for your applications. In comparison to the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs, these are not adjustable so you could either be stuck with too much support which will produce an uncomfortable ride or not enough which could cause sag to still occur.
