- In today's episode, we install SuperSprings on Our Sprinter Van. We wish we did this sooner as it reduces our sway and gave us a nice lift of about 3/4th's an inch.

Kevin this awesome! Love the video and love that we're able to fix your suspension. Better journey's coming your way 😎
- Tom
Looking to install these as well and film the process! Cheers
Thanks Tom!! Love the improvement already, can’t wait to get the sumo springs on the rig too!
@@treynewsom1817 YESSS! Let us know if we can help you at all! - Tom
@@treynewsom1817 Feel free to tag us in anything you post! - Josh
Tom, I see he installed the SSA55, but I recently ordered the SSA11 for my Sprinter as that was what was specified on Amazon for my year Sprinter (2020 170 WB 4x2). Do both kits work on my van?
Good job, might be a bit safer if you put a axel stand each side in case jack fails in some way, even with wheels still on can bounce a long way down for you on the tightest place under the vehicle.
Taylor yawning as you're driving and explaining the spring improvements to her is classic. 👍
Hahahaha love this
Good job on the installation, well done.
You are going to like the Sumo springs.
My van was scary when I got it.
I add a heavy duty rear anti swaybar, a set of air bags.
They helped a lot. When I added the Sumo springs to the front it made the ride and handling much better.
Hats off to Kevin for the winter modifications, I have been complaining about the 55-65 degree days here🥶.
Always a thumbs up 👍
Thanks Jackie!! We’re excited to get them on as well. We can definitely tell a difference from the super springs, looking forward to the sumos as well!
@@MathersOnTheMap I did the exact same, sumo spring and anti sway, but caution, my sprinter van frame fully crack behind the sumo spring driver side at that hole that in the frame. This sucks as I’m now dealing with Mercedes Benz. Fun times.
I Installed the Supersprings on my 2017 Sprinter which is used for hauling cargo.
First tip ..remove the wheels... it will make it much easier instead of laying on the ground.
I attached one side and used a ball joint c clamp to attach the other side.
The hard part was installing those pesky Sumosprings ...
it was 2 Celsius in Toronto today so I ended up installing the rear systems only and replaced the shocks with Monroe Heavy Duty Shocks.
I measured a 1/2" lift in the back...
Tomorrow will change to the SumoSprings in the front and replacing shock struts with Monroe Heavy duty.
Thank you for the 15% discount using your promo code ... 👍
I just returned from my covid hiatus and what do I see, Kevin crawling under the van supported by a single point hydraulic jack! I thought I was having fever hallucinations again! 😂 Get some jack stands man, we don't want to lose you!
Keep up the great videos and above all STAY SAFE! 🚐❤️😷
I had two supporting it haha but atleast I didn’t take the tire off. 😇
Thanks for watching George! Glad ya recovered from covid!!!
Great video they give you the U clamp in order to pull the spring down like you did with the C clamp. How are they holding up? How do you like them? Thank you.
Very helpful. I think that U bolt is for folks without big C clamp, just for getting the 2nd bolt in place. I saw another video doing this. I think Superspring caught on and started including it by the time you did yours…
I’m doing this to my 5th wheel rear axle because my tail has always hung low parts are in the mail now so I’m excited to get my fix!😮😅
I wasn't sure if I needed to do this but was wanting to and wondered if I could do it myself. Thanks to you, I feel pretty damn confident that I can and will be doing it whether I really need to or not. As always, thanks for sharing and here's to wishing that damn snow away sooner than later.
After doing some reading on SuperSprings's website, it would seem the sumo springs are the best way to go. I hope you'll share your experience and insight on how those work, when and if they arrive... I'd be interested in learning how you determined which of the three 'weights' to get and whether or not you got some for the front and rear or just rear...
Hey @@owenparker6651 👋🏼 SuperSprings and SumoSprings will do different things, as well provide some cross over. The SumoSprings are pretty fantastic solution for vibration reduction, stopping harsh rebounds, and improving all around driving. They should also get your van back to ride height in most cases. The SuperSprings will dramatically change your body roll and rear ride height, and even get you 1/2" of "lift". Now, adding both the SuperSprings and SumoSprings together is where we're headed from a kitting perspective - we plan to start selling the whole bundle - front and rear SumoSprings + SuperSprings - in the very near future!
- Tom
Hoping to get them on soon and will report back Owen! You can def install them yourself sumo’s look even easier to install. Not sure if I can explain better than Tom but the complete kit installed is going to be a game changer!!
@@SuperSpringsInternational Thanks very much for the input. I figured I might give you guys a ring once I have the van in hand and a better idea of weights and such. I'll definitely be giving you some of my money eventually! :)
Thanks for the video and the discount code. I ordered them today and saved me some $$'s ! Question: Did you have any issues with the brake line? Another video in here notes that they need to add an extension to them.
Glad to hear the rear is feeling more tight. I prefer a little sway but not too much. 😂
On a more mature note it was good to get some honest feedback. April & I keep saying we need to upgrade the suspension on the sprinter. Make sure to post up once you get the sumo springs installed!
Hahaha! Will do Ryan, you can definitely feel the difference and nice to get a bit of a lift out of it.
I have a ‘19 MB Sprinter 3500XD Cargo Van. I need to put new set of shocks. What brand you guys recommend. Thanks for your help & advice in advance
Can you share why you used the lowest hole for your bot and nuts versus the 1st or middle holes
Hey TY for this video. While I have a Thor Class C 25F RV, I'm hoping for the same experience you guys had. I'm also going to install a Roadmaster Front Anti-Sway Bar tomorrow morning as well. That should also - or so I'm told & hoping - that working in tandem, they should both significantly lessen the amount of sway on both the front end & rear ends of the vehicle. We're planning on making a trek across the U.S. shortly from the West Coast to the East Coast and back. If it's possible to show pics of my install, I'd be happy to. Later Guys. Semper Fi.
I have a 2020 F150, which is lifted from the factory but squats a bit when pulling my pontoon. Which would be the best option to deal with that?
Hey man, pretty sure you’re the couple we bumped into on the Avanti Ski lift 2 days ago in Vail. Kept trying to remember the name you told me and finally did 😂 keep it up !
Yoo!! If you’re the guy with the Sony A7iii then yep you got it right haha hope you score next week with the storm rolling through 🤙🏻
Nice job! 👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻
Thank you 🤘🏻
Kevin, great video mate. I would like to get them on my van as well. It looks simple to put on.
Yes it is Dirk! I would definitely recommend it!
Bonus video on a Sunday!!! NICE! I was nervous for you under there! Jeez
Haha would have been nerve racking if I took the tire off!
Who do you have in the big Game today Kev?
The interesting part is you already have the heavy-duty rear leaf from factory.
That's the plan !
Your a better man than me. I went to a spring shop and gave them 1000 buck labor and material to avoid the work. I’m running out of steam for those projects. 😂
Haha all good Michael! My back was a little sore from rolling around on the card board 🤕
What’s your vans rear axle weight?
I’d be using Jack stands when under the van, not just a Jack.
YES, AND....... chock the tires to prevent accidental rolling
Did you get 3/4 inch lift after adjustment?
Or was it higher in the back?
Do you really think you need both super & sumo? about to start our build. thx
I mean you don’t need them but it’s definitely a smoother ride (we don’t have the sumos yet)
I know this is a year old video and some other upgrades have been made, but why you don't have a sway bar?
i did Sumosprings! 👍🏽👍🏽
They’re great!!
Just a small suggestion, drop the spare tire, much more room. And if your drop nut is under the rear seat, an impact driver works wonders.
If you think the springs are awesome , wait for the sumos, the difference with them was amazing, no sway and an improvement in handling.
Can’t wait!!
So if you go to the third bolt it would give you maximum lift? I'm hoping for the maximum lift as I believe this would provide a smoother ride on a rough road. It would give more travel distance for the shocks to do their dampening which might prevent the bump feeling that comes with hitting the sumo spring bump stops. That said, I'm not an expert.
I just talked to a rep from SuperSprings and he confirmed this. For maximum lift you need to crank to the highest of the 3 bolts . Mathers used the lowest. This will give a smoother ride with less harsh bumps as you have more travel distance before hitting the bump stop.
Hi, I am thinking of getting the suspension of Mercedes Sprinter in the near future. Can you please let me know are you still happy with this product and the ride of your van has been improved?
Hey Wei!
The ride has 100% improved, i will put them on again on our next build.
Have you thought about air suspension for the rear? I’m still unsure about which way to go
I haven’t, sounds intense!
@@MathersOnTheMap yeah I think it also helps when leveling the van once you are parked.
@@EduardoRodriguez-vd7su You could go that route - or you could zero-maintenance, USA made, and a lifetime warranty. Our SumoSprings are airbag killers! 😉
- Tom
@@SuperSpringsInternational Sounds good. I would love to take look at your product.
Air is great when you have a varied load, but for a static load like a camper van, spring upgrades are best.
Just got a Solis Pocket and it drives like a car except for when the wind hits it. Thinking that the sumo springs might be best for that, but I don't really know. Totally new to the van thing.
The SuperSprings should definitely improve driving in windy conditions!
That wind is a full nightmare. And yes, our solution will put an end to white-knuckle driving!
- Tom
@@SuperSpringsInternational so is your solution the supersprings or the Sumos or both? Not sure I can afford all that at the moment but when I can I will.
@@hywaywolf Is it a 2020 model? - Josh
@@SuperSpringsInternational its a 2022 Solis Pocket, but the Promaster 1500 is 2021.
I put the Sumo Springs front and rear at it helped a lot. I have a 4x4 so I don't think the extra leaf spring will work on mine. I wish it would
Hey David! The SSA55 (the SuperSpring here) works on the Sprinter 2500 and 3500 both 2 and 4WD from 2016 to present!! Hope this helps.
- Tom
@@SuperSpringsInternational Great news! Will it work with the SSR 327-47-2 SumoSprings installed also?
Glad to hear the sumo springs work well, hoping to install them on our van soon. The springs help with the wind too
I tried that discount and it doesn't work
@@original.woozie What product are you trying to apply the coupon to? - Josh
Bird chirp count 🤣😂🤣
Those damn birds!
Your bugging out 😂 . Use jack stands 😂
jack stands!
Scary
Does the Sprinter come with a rear sway bar or the ability to install one? Would a rear sway bar achieve the same results? Better yet, what about the SuperSprings AND a sway bar?
For mine, a 24 ft, I am going to throw them all on.
have proper spring pack in the rear
Im prestat sure that I clamp was supposed to do the job you did with the C clamp
Thanks for the well done video. 3:36 Convinced me to order superSprings and Sumos front and rear, just that the code Mathers15 does not work. Any other code which would give me 15% off of $1400.
The U bolt was placed wrong that’s why it seemed useless, if it was installed correctly it could have helped
1:44 why did you switch fingers and flip us off?
Hahaha nice!
OMG that’s totally insane for relying on that can jack while your under there. Those things fail all the time.
That’s why we kept the tire on 👌🏻👌🏻
