2015 Toyota 4Runner Helper Spring Recommendation for Heavy Bike Rack

Question:
I see that a review says they needed to add shock absorbers to use the Saris MHS Bike Rack for 4 Bikes. This rack would be great on my 2015 4Runner but I'd like to get some shocks installed sooner rather than later. What do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
The Saris MHS Bike Rack for 4 Bikes # SAR95MR is an excellent choice and will pair nicely with your 2015 Toyota 4Runner. To help keep your vehicle level with all of that weight at the back I recommend installing the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS78DR.
I really like these springs for a few reasons; they require absolutely no maintenance so once installed you don't have to think about them anymore, and these are progressive springs that only help out when needed - when you don't have a load at the back of your 4Runner you won't even notice these helper springs are there.
We actually have an installation video of these springs being installed on a 2015 4Runner as well as the bike rack on this vehicle as well. I'm linking both to this page for your reference!
