SumoSprings or Timbren Springs For a 2016 Toyota Tundra For Hauling Occasional Loads

Question

Question:

Hello, I own a 2016 Toyota Tundra SR5 4x4 Crewmax. Approximately 5-7 times per year I haul a ton of wood pellets about 12 miles. I also have a small camper with a dry weight of 2530lbs and a hitch weight of 210lbs. Im considering something like Sumo Springs or Timbrens to help with the pellet hauling, Id rather not use airbags. What do you suggest? Thanks

I recommend using the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-610-47 on our 2016 Toyota Tundra. As you will only be hauling the additional weight a few times a year for a short distance this will provide you with the best ride quality when you are using your truck as a daily driver.

The Timbren Springs # TABSOSR will create a stiffer ride both while hauling additional loads and while daily driving. I only recommend these types of springs for vehicles who will see additional weight most of the year and are hauling long distances.

It sounds like you're looking for the Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops part #TABSOSR which are a fit for a 2020 Nissan Frontier. These are great for towing or hauling and will work to reduce sag/squat without minimizing axle travel.
