SumoSprings custom helper springs like # CSS-1168R are intended for installation inside rear coil spring. They help stiffen and support the coils.

Travel trailers usually have a leaf spring suspension. This type of system can be fitted with several options in a suspension enhancement kit. The type needed will depend on the nature of the trailer, its weight and number of axles. The linked page will show you all such kits.

If you have a tandem axle double-eye leaf spring suspension, click on that category, then select the width of your springs to see compatible kits like one of the Equa-Flex Cushioned Equalizers.
