Improves suspension, handling and safety. Progressive spring rate. Provides additional support as needed so you always have a smooth, comfortable ride.by: James 05/30/2024
It seems to stabilize the trailer a lot better than the factory equipment. Less side to side movement and it seems that inside contents are not as bounced around as before.
by: Scott04/08/2023
I made some brackets to bolt to the frame. Now I have 100% contact with the Sumo Springs. The are working extremely well!
by: David 01/11/2024
My only complaint is that even with adding the two provided spacers, I was still a quarter inch short of touching the top rail. It is supposed to be set with a slight pushing down from the top rail. It went on easily and I am sure it will still work whenever there are significant bumps in the road.

Help a lot with the bounce from the leaf springs
by: Dale07/24/2019
These were very easy to installed and have done a great job smoothing out the ride of the camper. It has made a big difference in how the camper tows and has calmed it down with crosswinds and when big trucks pass by. We did not have the clearance to install a shock kit and the tech at etrailer highly recommended these, I am glad he did. So far I am very happy with this product.

These are still going strong after a year of abuse from these horrible roads. I still feel that they have done a lot to smooth out the ride of the trailer.
by: Conrad09/04/2022
Easy install. It took me approximately 3 hours for the entire project. That's cleaning a few things up also. I did not notice much difference in "body roll". Honestly,, I never had much before. Now, anytime going over rougher roads, railroad tracks, etc.... That was a big difference. It took a lot of that movement out. I hardly knew the trailer was going over it. I installed these on a 5th wheel.
by: Nate03/11/2023
Fantastic upgrade for the cheap factory suspension!
by: William 09/16/2023
For the money I believe its the best thing you can do to improve the ride of your trailer. Lessons the shock of the bad roads (like I-95 in south carolina) on the leaf springs and hangers.
by: David 09/15/2023
Easy Installation. I'm expecting them to act as shock-absorbers, and I haven't experienced any adverse handling issues, so I guess they're working. I haven't noticed any difference in handling, so I guess that's OK. I hoped for additional capacity, too, and that's hard to measure. Sorry this isn't more definitive, but I'm satisfied that they are helping.
by: Darren06/18/2020
When I decided to replace the RV trailer leaf springs I decided to update the suspension by adding Sumo Springs as well. The installation was simple and quick. Between etrailer.com and Sumo Springs websites all the information is available for the do it your-selfer. Thanks etrailer.com for shipping to Canada. I will continue to support your company.
by: David10/22/2020
Kit came with more than I needed but I can see where some trailers might have used different hardware and all scenarios were included in kit. I went with these to help eliminate my tires rubbing against bottom of trailer floor on rough roads "California" and give an overall smoother ride hopefully extending the lifespan of our trailer. I also Installed Dexter EZ Flex at the same time.
by: Tom02/27/2021
Installation was very straightforward and they made a significant difference in pulling.

Great spring support solution to resolve bounce and sway! Perfect addition to our 2019 Riverstone 5th Wheel
by: Douglas08/31/2020
Was easy to install I removed the wheels which made it easy to access the u bolt flange that they mount to I moved the propane line further away from the area, took about an hour to complete install which included greasing the spring mounts.
by: Zach 06/27/2023
These helped the tow quality of my boat trailer immensely. The trailer feels so much smoother on big bumps on the highway and the gear in the boat moves around a lot less than before. Super easy to install as well.
by: Matthew09/30/2021
One year in already? Wow time flies! These sumo springs have been a GREAT addition to our 32' travel trailer. Easy to install and they've been perfect ever since. I definitely recommend these!

Still so glad we got these ... Things stay put in the trailer, no matter how bumpy the roads get!
by: Tom04/05/2021
The only reason I can't give a 5 star is that we haven't taken the trailer out yet to test the sumo's.
From the install point of view, they were great! easy to follow instructions and assembly.
My only suggestion comes from my own mistake. Maybe consider adding an additional line to your step 1. "Ensure the landing gear / jacks / stabilizers are retracted before taking measurements". I had measured and installed two sumo's before I realized the gears were still down which, obviously, messed up my measurements. Thus I had to take off the sumo's, hook up the 5th wheel, raise the jacks, then restart the process. Went smooth after that. My daughter installed one with no problem. Thanks.

I believe they are working as advertised. They smooth out the bumps felt inside the trailer. I also installed sumos on our pickup. They make a HUGE difference when pulling our 5th wheel. Very satisfied.
by: Kenneth11/15/2022
Installed with EZ-flex equalizer kit. Easy to install when the suspension is lowered. Make sure to measure the gap between the springs and frame before you take off the wheels. Seems like good quality and does improve the ride.
by: Kenneth 10/05/2023
Was having a control issue with my camper, corresponded with Gregory and he knew what I needed to fix the problem, these mad hauling my camper enjoyable and not a white knuckle experience.
by: Courtney 09/24/2022
I had always taken the clover leaf ramps on freeways slow while towing my trailer from fear of tipping. It's stupid, but I feel much better going traffic speed on the ramps now with these springs installed on the trailer. I also feel more comfortable towing with side winds. I don't have a lot of experience towing in high winds, but the few trips I have done with moderate winds felt safe.
by: Richard D11/04/2022
After installing the trailer specific sumo springs the trailer is more stable when towing. I would recommend this easy upgrade to your towable RV.
by: Birdogrega10/24/2020
Easy install needed to get more spacers due to distance from spring to frame happy with results
by: Michael 01/21/2021
Great add on to our travel trailer suspension to assist in the ride of our leaf spring suspension. We also have MORryde 3000, HD shackle wet bolts , and X-factor crossmembers on our trailer as well. All of the above makes for a great towing experience as we tow our rig between 10 and 15k miles a year from upstate NY to the Rockies as well as traveling the Adirondack mountains and New England with plans for Alaska after COVID. Another great add are the Goodyear Endurance tires on our trailers....fantastic tires! We have a tpms for our trailer tires and I check tire temperature every 2 to 4 hours of travel
With an infrared thermometer.... safe travels!
by: Daniel12/31/2020
Short of installing independent suspension or adding shock absorbers (did this on my 2014 radiance, DIY project, lots of upside down drilling) this is the upgrade for you. Installation and directions are straight forward and only took me about an hour to install. Due to the COVID, we were only able to take four trips since we purchased our 2020 Grand Design 303RLS and these helper springs have made a WORLD of difference. The side to side motion is less and the ride is MUCH smoother. Also changed out our fifth king pin which helped with the chucking. Highly recommend these helper springs and as a bonus, dealing with etrailer is a great experience and they are always there to help and support. Customer service is Top Notch.
by: Terry 02/20/2020
Although product was on back order etrailer kept me well informed on order progress which was appreciated. Seems to be a great product,untested at this time. Very easy installation ,hoping for the best.

- Recommended SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs for 2021 Grand Design Reflection 5th WheelSuperSprings recommends the # TSS-107-40, which is designed for 3000-5000 lb capacity axles. Once installed, the springs would sit so the top is 6-1/2 inches above the top of the spring pack. Two 1/2 inch thick spacers are included, so if one spacer was added, it would sit 7 inches above the spring pack and 7-1/2 inches if both spacers are used. Ideally, you'd want to see about 1/2 inch of preload. To determine if the # TSS-107-40 would work, with the trailer on the ground as you'd typically...
view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement Options for 2021 Salem FSX 178BHSKX With Single Underslung AxleAccording to SumoSprings, 6" is the minimum for the # TSS-106-40. I asked them about this and they said you cannot use these if the space is under 6" so unfortunately they won't work for you. Doing so will overload the springs which can cause damage to the trailer and make the ride bouncy instead of smooth. With that amount of space and the single axle you're pretty limited on options for suspension enhancement. If you really want to use the SumoSprings you could cut off your existing...

- How to Determine Correct Replacement Springs for a 2019 Keystone Fuzion 424 Toy Hauler with 7K AxlesI was able to find that your 2019 Keystone Fuzion 424 Toy Hauler has 7K axles and while we do have leaf springs for 7K axles, you'll need to take some measurements of your leaf springs to ensure that you get leaf springs that are the correct length for your application. Height can be a factor as well unless you are swapping out all of your leaf springs on all of your axles. If you are referring to suspension enhancement we have that too. Unfortunately we don't have a way to look up exactly...

- Will the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs Fit a 2020 Keystone Cougar?The SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs part # TSS-107-40 are compatible with practically any trailer that has a 3K to 5K overslung axle or in other words the leaf springs are mounted on top of the axle. If you have an underslung axle in which the leaf springs are mounted below the axle then you need the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs part # TSS-106-40 which is also designed for 3K to 5K capacity axles. I spoke with SuperSprings and they informed me that there isn't a minimum space...
view full answer... - Will SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs TSS-107-40 Help Bouncing Of 2017 Forest River Wolf Pup?As long as your 2017 Forest River Wolf Pup 17' Toy Hauler has a overslung axle (Leaf springs mounted on top of the axle) then the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs # TSS-107-40 you were looking at would be a perfect option for softening the unloaded ride of your trailer. This kit will act as a shock absorber to absorb road shock and not pass that through your trailers suspension, but will also help to reduce body roll and sway of the trailer. I included a video of the # TSS-107-40 for...
view full answer... - SumoSprings Helper Springs on a 5th Wheel with Under-Spring 7k Tandem AxleI'm happy to inform you that the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs, part # TSS-107-40, will work for your setup. They are designed to sit over the axle and can handle axles between 3K and 5K. I've linked to a video review of these springs for you to look at. Keep in mind that since you have a tandem axle, you will need 2 kits. You can check the product page for this kit's current price.
view full answer... - Replacement Pin Box Option For A Lippert Turning Point Rotating Pin Box The Lippert Turning Point has a specific bolt pattern that only has one replacement so far, the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY48GR. This is a gooseneck adapter though so you'd have to switch out the hitch for a gooseneck ball for this to work. The torsion head will help reduce road shock and chucking transferred to your truck so it is worth considering, but you'll also be moving your pivot point back to the truck so you could run into clearance issues if...
view full answer... - Solution For Shocks on Trailer With 3,500 lb Square AxleThe Lippert # LC281255 will only work with round axles. For square axles I recommend the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs which mount on the leaf spring stack. If you have overslung axles (leaf springs on top of axle) you need # TSS-107-40 and for underslung # TSS-106-40. These will absorb road shock while also reducing sway and body roll.
view full answer... - Upgrade For Trailer Leaf Springs On 3,500LB Trailer AxleI do have a recommendation for you as changing spring lengths and weight ratings can lead to a less than desirable ride quality. And the only way to determine if the longer springs will fit can be different for different trailers. The SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs for Overslung # TSS-107-40 or Underslung # TSS-106-40 axles will help to provide up to 500lbs of capacity. These jounce springs help to provide a smoother ride by absorbing road shock and also helping to reduce leaf spring...
view full answer... - Can A PullRite SuperLite 5th Wheel Hitch Be Used With A Curt Flex Air Pin Box I reached out to PullRite and they stated that the SuperLite Hitch would not be compatible with the Curt Air Ride 5th Wheel Pin Box # LC158778. If you're looking to improve the ride quality of your trailer and already have the SuperLite hitch then you can also look into suspension enhancement to help prevent road shock from transferring up through the frame. Adding in some SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs like part # TSS-107-40 can make a world of difference. If this interests you then...
view full answer... - Is The SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs TSS-107-40 A Set Or An Individual Spring?The SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation Bracket - Single Axle - 3K to 5K - Overslung # TSS-107-40 you were looking at comes with both the right and left hand springs and all of the hardware needed to get them installed on your trailer. Keep in mind the # TSS-107-40 is designed for 3000lb - 5000lb axles that have overslung springs meaning the springs are on top of the axle. I included a video of the # TSS-107-40 for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Leaf Spring Reinforcement for a 2011 Silverado to Haul a 1400 Pound Ultra Light Truck CamperChoosing the correct suspension enhancement system will depend on which 2011 Silverado you have and how the stock suspension is set up. A 2500 and 3500 Silverado will use the same systems, but the 1500 will be different, so here are a few options. For a 2011 Silverado 1500, the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS95MR will be a set it and forget it type system, making it very easy to install and use. It will also have a weight capacity of 1,500 pounds at 50% compression but cannot...
view full answer... - Recommended 72" 2000lb Axle With Spring Centers On Top Of Axle To Make It OverslungThere is a way to make a 72" 2000lb axle overslung (axle underneath springs) but they are not sold that way. First you will need an axle. I recommend the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with Standard Spindles - 72" Long - 2,000 lbs # T20BTR-7258 which has the 72" hub face to hub face measurement you are needing. Next you will need to remove the pre-installed spring seats and have the # TRSS175 welded in the correct location on the other side of the axle in the correct location to match your...
view full answer... - How to Determine SumoSprings For Jayco Travel TrailerIt looks like your trailer has a GVWR of just under 5,000 lbs, which narrows down the choices, so to determine the correct SumoSprings you just need to know if your axle sits above the leaf springs or below the leaf springs, as well as the clearance between the top of the spring plate and bottom of trailer frame. - Axle Below Leaf Springs: SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs # TSS-107-40 (Clearance between top of spring plate and bottom of trailer frame must be between 5-5/16" and 6-1/2") -...
view full answer... - Why Did My Shackle Flip On My Tandem Axle Utility Trailer?What most likely occurred when you were driving on the bumpy road with no weight on your utility trailer is the trailer bounced enough to upset the suspension and after it landed it caused the shackle to flip. This tends to happen a lot with trailers that carry a large amount of weight as their suspension is very ridged and the trailer bounces more than absorbs shock when it is empty. Since you just recently changed out all your nylon bushings your suspension is more prone to articulate...
view full answer... - Comparing Lippert Bolt On Shock Kit and SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs For Single Axle Jayco TTI would be happy to help! For your Jayco Single Axle Travel Trailer a shock kit like the Lippert Bolt On Shock Kit # LC281281 will hands down be the best option to prevent side to side rocking of the trailer. The SumoSprings # TSS-107-40 you were looking at do a similar job, but do not do it quite as well as shocks. Now to determine the correct shock kit for your trailer it will come down to the rating of your axle. If you have a 3500lb axle that is 2-3/8" in diameter I recommend the...
view full answer... - Will SumoSprings 7k Trailer Axle Kit TSS-107-40 Fit 2016 Grand Design 350M Toy HaulerYes the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation Bracket # TSS-107-40 will work on your tandem 7k axles. Since this is a single axle kit you'd need a quantity of two of the # TSS-107-40.
view full answer... - Recommended Preload for SumoSprings TSS-107-40 Trailer Helper SpringsThe folks at SuperSprings tell me that ideally, you'd see about 1/4 inch of pre-load between the # TSS-107-40 spring and the underside of the trailer frame, but they tell even if there's no preload, the SumoSprings would still provide benefit. You can even trim the spring if you need to, but SumoSprings cautions that doing so will void the warranty.
view full answer... - Measurement of Assembled SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs TSS-107-40From the top of your U-Bolt plate to the top of the spring, the measurement is 6-3/4" with both spacers, 6-1/4" with one spacer, or 5-3/4" with no spacers for the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs # TSS-107-40. Since you want to set up the # TSS-107-40 to be 1/4" to 1/2" taller than your initial measurement (you will not initially compress the springs) you will be able to use these, and one spacer will do the trick, as that will be 1/2" more than your 5-3/4" measurement.

It is brought up at the 3:50 time in the video linked below.

I recommend relieving the weight off the suspension to see if the springs return to normal heights. I have included the picture below for reference for the following measurements. A-12-9/16" B-13-3/16" C-25-1/8" D-3-1/4" The trailer may have became overloaded and caused damage to the suspension components or even the axle. If you notice an excessive bend...

- Trailer Suspension Enhancement For Travel Trailer That Sits Lower On One Side Due To Trailer LayoutI have seen travel trailers that will have a lean like you are experiencing due to the build of that particular trailer. Often times it occurs due to slide outs in the camper only being on one side or the kitchen appliances all being on one side of the trailer. You will want to inspect your suspension every 3 months or 3,000 miles when you are checking the wheel bearings and brakes for proper adjustment. You can add the SumoSprings trailer helper springs that will help to level your trailer...

Especially with two trailers doing the exact same thing. If you do decide to go this route, the 6-Leaf Double-Eye Spring # e27SR will be rated for a 4,500 pound axle, or 2,000 pounds per spring. However, these will measure 26 inches from eye to eye, so they may be a bit longer than your current ones. What may be a better option though, will be the...
