Hello, What is the difference between the SSR-117-47 and SSR-147-47? Which is the better fit for my 2012 Ford F-150 XLT crew cab short bed? Thank you

Expert Reply:
I checked with our system and SumoSprings and the SSR-147-47 part number you referenced doesn't show up. The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs item # SSR-117-47 does fit your 2012 Ford F-150. It is the highest rated set of SumoSprings available for your truck.
These custom fit helper springs have a 1,500 lbs load leveling capacity. The progressive load control system only engages when weight is put on the rear end of your truck. The heavier the trailer or payload in your bed the more the system will engage.
I have linked an installation video below.
The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs item # SSR-117-47 is for the 4WD models only. If you have a 2WD truck you will want the item # SSR-116-47.
