Installed on my Mercedes Benz Metris Cargo van. Have a 2,500 Lb. max payload which I carry often for my freight hauling delivery business. These things are great and highly recommended. No more bottoming out and peace of mind when doing a job. Keep in mind they help with the load you are carrying and NOT increase the capacity. Plan on getting more vans/trucks in near future and will install on everything.
@@earlreid6811 Great 👍 I have 150k miles now and have put the springs and the van through heck and back. Handles max load of 2,500 lbs like nothing. Maybe getting new cargo van early next year and will certainly install them again.
I installed on my 22’ Tacoma access cab. Definitely cleared up the rear end mush and keeps it from bouncing over bumps buy pushing the wheels back down just like a secondary spring would.
Can't wait to get these for my Tacoma TRD off-road suspension is too damn soft especially if you load it heavy or towing a trailer! It's just hard for manufacturers to get it right because towing & going off-road are total opposites can't wait to get these considering my payload capacity is ONLY 945 lb 🤦
know why ill be sticking with my air bags. well at 10psi its like they arent even there, and at 30 psi 3500lbs pin weight the truck still sits at stock ride height. these are neat but i know they cannot do that.
I installed sumosprings on my 2015 Mercedes Benz sprinter 3500 motor home and it appears to cause a toe in look on my front tires. I'm concerned about my tires wearing uneven. What's your thoughts?
What shorter distance? The distance of suspension travel is virtually unchanged. These springs simply help support heavier loads, such as bed cargo and/or the tongue weight of trailers towed behind. Some experience a slight vehicle body lift, but that's not the intent.
scott Brogle I can answer in general. SumoSprings are intended to reduce sag when hauling heavy loads, not lift a vehicle. They are made to fit each truck (exact length between axle and frame) without changing the vehicle height. Of course, if your truck is already sagging a bit (the bed with any cargo is a load in itself), SumoSprings may reduce that, causing the rear to go up a very small amount (well less than an inch on mine - not even noticeable).
I'd like to install them on my 2004 22' Gulfstream Class C BT Cruiser. I notice there are pairs for under $200. and there are pairs that are $450. Which one's would be appropriate for my vehicle? Thanks
This is only to keep the vehicle from bottoming out when loaded. Not for replacing the leaf springs but just to help when under heavy load like helper springs.
Seems like a bandaid for a lack of leaf springs if you haul. But would be a softer ride with stock leaf spring pack if extra leafs are not required for someone who rarely ever hauls anything. I wonder if this technology is used for front suspension bump stops for those who like to flex at higher speeds.
I just don't understand how these Sumo Springs know exactly how to level your load especially when you're carrying a 5000+lb camper. How do the springs react to the load weight? What if your vehicle is low on one side? How do these springs know to self-adjust on one side more than the other?
I know this is an old post, but these do hold the entire load. ALSO, if the chassis were going to break from sumos, your bumpstops would also break it on a hard bottom out
Installed the yellow ones on my 2018 sunseeker, they work great. Buy them and enjoy the ride!

i was wondering how these could help in a expedite van
How are they holding up?

@dannylewandowski2822
I would like to put these on a 23 tacoma, I too would like to know how they hold up.
@@earlreid6811 I hope we can get some answers.
I'll give sumo this, they DO make perfect fit per vehicle (In the case of spring rubbers aka coil sumo springs) which is important.

Has anyone had these on their truck for any length of time? Do they hold up?
That’s the key question! These look great but they don’t look as if they will
last very long.
Can this be used with an add a leaf?

Which airbags would you recommend for a 2015 5.7 ram?
These would probably be toughter if they were doped with graphene. :)
Appicable for Honda Odessey?how much tx
Would these be a good alternative for a lowered vehicle? Use these as the bumpstops?
Si
That's exactly what these are, replacements for factory bump stock.
im trying the timbrens over these. i think the hard rubber is just more durable..
your wrong
It's not. Sumospring material is way more durable.

just need to get a alignment since you are modifying the suspension
How are they holding up?
@@earlreid6811 No problems 40,000 miles later.
do the shocks need to be changed to make up for the shorter distance ?
What shorter distance? The distance of suspension travel is virtually unchanged. These springs simply help support heavier loads, such as bed cargo and/or the tongue weight of trailers towed behind. Some experience a slight vehicle body lift, but that's not the intent.
Dwight Stewart will these help lift a 2011 f250 in the rear at all or do you know.

do these stiffen up the suspension with no load in vehicle ie stop body roll?
Yes, they will help to reduce (not stop) body roll. Since the lift is progressive, the suspension should not feel significantly stiffer when unloaded.
What’s the life span of these?

blue is light, black is medium, and yellow is heavy duty
Necesito adquirir un juego de sumospring
Can you use them in place of Springs on a non airbag vehicle?
This is only to keep the vehicle from bottoming out when loaded. Not for replacing the leaf springs but just to help when under heavy load like helper springs.
I would love to do a video review of your product
are these made to fit specific vehicles or universal trucks?
Specific vehicles. The SumoSprings website will help decide which you need.
Is so nice easy to stall and no hose needed

Marcie Warner because of "Sugondeez" technology
They dont self adjust,they make contact when your factory bump stops dont. It's a alternative to airbags.
@@germancavallo8277 can you please elaborate? I have a 50' RV that I drive thru the ocean. This technology that you speak of is quite intriguing.

how mutch price
Hamood Mam Ever use Google?
Expensive and does not prevent squat.Airbags are adjustable.
Well said Joseph, the adjustability of the air systems is the real deal.
If you want to break your chassis.
Robert Anderson How??
Icutmetal
By changing the centre of downward force to a centre point instead of distributing the weight evenly over the entire spring assembly.
@@robertanderson5796 these only carry a small percentage of the weight. Your leaf springs will still be carrying most of the load.
