Recommended SumoSprings for a 2022 Ford F-150

Question

Question:

Interested in the SUMO helper springs. I have a 30ft travel trailer with a hitch weight of 676lbs. My tow vehicle is a 22 Ford F150 4x4 with 3.5 liter engine. I also use the Equalizer 4 point weight distribution hitch. I am looking at purchasing the SUMO 1,500lb capacity #SS28UV.

The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs item # SS28UV would be a great option for support on your 2022 F-150. These have a 1,500 lbs capacity and fit both the 2WD and 4WD models.

I really like SumoSprings over other suspension options because of the progressive load support they offer. The support only engages when you have weight added to the rear of your truck. It will not affect the side quality when you are not towing.

This system is also pretty simple to get installed. I have linked the instructions below along with an review video.
