Question:

Sumo Springs Rebel Custom Helper do they ride stiffer and harder than air bags would? And they take the place of factory stoppers, correct?

Hey Mark, so the SumoSprings Rebel springs part # SSF-170-40-2 do not have a reputation as being harsh but they provide a consistent support level whereas air bags are adjustable so they can be made to be very harsh or basically non-existent. Now if you wanted to compare an equivalent amount of pressure between the SumoSprings and air bags the SumoSprings are going to be less harsh.

This does replace the bump stops.

Jameson have you personally driven a f53 that has new upgraded suspension With sumo on the front end, or an class a with air bags? To be able to compare the ride.

@MarkM I haven't personally but I have heard a lot of feedback from our installers and other customers with the F-53. Not to throw another curve ball in but what we have heard several times is that the biggest improvement is a rear sway bar like the # RM-1139-149.
