How Will the SumoSprings Helper Springs # SSR-127-54 Affect Ride Quality On 2018 Ford F-350 Unloaded

Question

Question:

How would the SSR-127-54 affect the ride for a daily driver? I have a 18/ F-350 6.7L 4x4 Lariat. Pin weight on my 5er is around 2400 so I am not concerned about it when towing as I know it will improve comfort.

With the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-127-54 for your 2018 Ford F-350 you do get a 1" and 1/2" spacer. These spacers will allow you to increase or decrease the air gap between the axle and SumoSprings. The larger the air gap the less noticeable the springs will be on your ride quality when daily driving. When daily driving you may notice a slight increase in stiffness when hitting large bumps as your suspension is already going to be very stiff with a 1-ton truck unloaded. You will be able try driving your F-350 with different amounts of spacers to determine which combination will give you the best ride quality when loaded and unloaded.
