Insert these helper springs in between the individual coil loops in your rear coil springs to defeat driver fatigue and add better support for heavy loads. Most factory coil suspensions have a difficult time hauling added weight. The rear coils may struggle with supporting the extra load placed on your rear axle when you're towing a trailer or using a hitch-mounted cargo carrier or bike rack. If your coil springs are totally squished under a load, the lack of shock absorption can be harsh on your backside, especially if you spend long hours sitting in your vehicle while driving to your campsite.


Coil SumoSpring installed between rungs of coil spring

Inside each helper spring, a core of microcellular polyurethane foam adds cushioning between your coils to make your ride more comfortable. Each doughnut-shaped spring has H-shaped channels at the top and bottom that fit to the rung of an individual coil in your rear coil springs. The cushioning absorbs shock, but also works progressively to better support weight, keeping your truck level.


Unlike air springs that fit inside your coil springs, these polyurethane springs require no air pressure monitoring, and they are easier to install. Say goodbye to air lines, valves and air tanks and hello to maintenance-free suspension support. Unbumpify your ride with Coil SumoSprings for coil suspensions.

Dodge Ram Pickup

Installed the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for suspension - Rear Axle on my Ram 1500. Easy install, if you follow their enclosed directions. It took longer to jack up the truck and secure it than the actual installation. Any negative comments that were written about the installation are most likely based on the ability NOT to read and follow the written directions. Took a drive after installation and immediately felt the difference in handling. Actually installed them to assist in the 30-foot travel trailer I am towing with a 1500 Ram. No doubt it is going to assist with the sway bars already on the trailer. In my opinion, it was a good investment for the price vs the results.

After several trips with the camper I found they were not strong enough. I changed out to inflatable air springs with its own air tank and compressor. Much better control on a 30 foot travel trailer.



by:

2021 Highlander front with drive V6. Product is right on the money for description. My Bass boat is 3900lbs, definitely took a 1-1/4 out from the sag. Also, extremely less bounce. I would prefer to have air bags, though no one makes them for my year. This is a great alternative.

Chrysler Pacifica

Have had these in for a year. Easy to install. I did have to trim some off to install, but super easy with a razor knife. Bought these to help level out my Pacifica and they’re awesome. Fully loaded and it still squats a bit but no where near as bad as it used to. No effect on daily driving. If you’re thinking about it, just do it.



by:

They seem to work as the back of my vehicle sag is not as noticeable with my trailer attached.



by:
Toyota Highlander

This was put on the rear of a '23 toyota highlander to help with it's lack of weight capability. It has helped and it didn't affect the ride quality.



by:

It was even easier to install than the video showed, there was no hole in the ones I got for the tie bands.



by:
2020 Honda Ridgeline

Delivered on schedule.
Went on easily.
Done in 1hr.
Looking forward to less sag.

Fast delivery and easy to put on. Haven't put the trailer on yet, but rides nice with no weight

2023 Honda Ridgeline

Ordered product and paid for fastest shipment option available. Did not receive product by date that was listed for fastest shipment option.



by:
2021 Chrysler Pacifica

Took a chance and ordered rears for my 2021 AWD Pacifica even though the AWD model wasn't listed. After cutting a couple of inches off they fit perfectly! Coils are tight so you'll need to unbolt the bottom shock bolt to gain an extra inch of decompression. Once installed there's no difference in ride hight or ride with the van unloaded. Once loaded up it gives the extra support needed to prevent scraping my muffler pulling in and out of driveways. I know this mod voids the warranty, but it was a chance worth taking.



by:
2021 Toyota Highlander

I'm a little disappointed, items received don't match what is advertised, they don't have marks to indicate the item part number, so I can't differentiate which one is the front vs the one for the rear position, also, and this is more important, they don't come with the holes for the zip tights. There are also some imperfections in the surfaces of at least one of the items, they are not as smooth as I was expecting for a product in this price...

They are great! Big difference from stock.



by:
2015 Toyota Highlander

The Sumo coil springs helpers did help with the rear spring sag and subsequent unweighting of the front end when my 2015 Toyota Highlander is hooked to our 20 ft 3,000 lb Winnebago Micro Minnie trailer. The steering felt better after installing the Sumos, but I had hoped for a bit more support from them, however the situation is definitely better with them than without them.

Satisfactory, it helps mitigate rear end squat



by:
2014 Chevrolet Equinox

Not the easiest to install but effective. I don't haul heavy loads often so I install them only when needed. I wish there was an air bag set-up for this vehicle.

Robert H.

Still working well, no issues.

I installed the Sumo Springs in my 2016 Toyota Highlanderthey fit well. Total install took approximately 10 minutes.



by:
Toyota Highlander

When fully loaded our Highlander had a severe sag, but after I installed the Sumo Springs, the suspension is improved when loaded and even better feel with daily driving.



by:
2018 Toyota Highlander

Easy to install- would recommend taking tires off as it eases installation.
Immediate ++ results on towing and load carry capacity. No more droopy bootie!!



by:
2009 Mercury Grand Marquis

Installation went smoothly once I unhooked the shock absorber and allowed the spring to decompress. It looks like it lifted the back end about an inch with a couple hundred pounds of stuff in the trunk.



by:

Right now the only thing I can comment on regarding the springs is on how easy they went on. Followed the instructions to a T. No problem. Have not had the opportunity to test them on towing.



by:
2015 Toyota Highlander

I was very pleased with the Sumo Springs for my 2015 Toyota Highlander Limited rear springs. Was a little worried if they would fit and if I could install them myself. Turned out to be fairly easy after watching a few YouTube videos. It's important to get the springs fully released by getting the tires off the ground an inch or so. Be sure to use safety jacks so you don't lose a hand or fingers. I had to jack up each side separately. Follow the directions by cleaning and spraying the car springs and spray Sumo springs too with soapy water. Was a little tough getting them started, but once in place would spin easily to get into position between the 2nd and 3rd spring and also to rotate to install all the zip ties. I loaded my hitch with 300# on a cargo carrier. Without the sumo springs dropped 1 1/2". With Sumo springs only 1/2". The 300# simulated the tongue weight of a camping trailer I am renting next week. 1" difference may not seem like a lot, but I was pretty pleased that such a easy, low cost fix that will allow me to tow up to the 5000# capacity rating of my SUV. I didn't notice any difference in handling when driving without any weight. My cargo carrier also has a 500# capacity so I'm good for traveling towing a camper or with my cargo carrier. As always, eTrailer was great about fast shipping. Ordered on Tuesday and arrived on Wednesday. eTrailer is my go to place for anything auto related.

Its still working great. Glad I installed the Sumo springs.

Lifted the rear of our 2018 Toyota Highlander 1", and was easy to install. Though, we haven't had the opportunity to test them.



by:
2013 Toyota Highlander

Installation on a 2013 Toyota Highlander was very easy.



by:

Timely shipping, and correct product. Only issue was that kit didn't have the tie straps included so my installer provided them.



by:
2014 Toyota Highlander

I have a set for my rear suspension on my 2014 Highlander. These were easy to install and I noticed an immediate difference with firmer rear suspension. Where these really stood out was towing my boat. These substantially reduced rear suspension sag and body roll around corners. I will likely get a set for my front suspension too. If ordering again, I would get front and rear at the same time. This is because I notice a difference in the firmness of rear vs front. This has been a good solution for towing on 3000lb boat on my highlander.

  • Alternative to Air Bag Suspension Kit for 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
    The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4170 can be a bit tricky to mess with since it's an air bag that sits inside a spring. If the bags were punctured during use then your best solution would be to use the Coil SumoSprings for your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe instead. It looks like you have a 4x4 so you'll need the kit # CSS-1125R unless you have a GLS or Limited - in that case you'll need the kit # CSS-1145R instead. These insert between the individual coils on your OEM spring suspension...

  • Using # CSR-1145R Coil Sumo Springs to Raise Ride Height of 2005 Honda Odyssey
    Suspension enhancement products like the # CSS-1145R Coil Sumo Springs will not raise the ride height of a vehicle, they will only provide extra support for any cargo you might be carrying. The # CSS-1145R springs are meant for the rear suspension only. If you were wanting to increase your ride height, a shop that does custom suspension work should be able to help you, but we don't offer anything that would raise the ride height of your Odyssey.

  • Can Air Lift Air Bags and Coil SumoSprings be Used Together on a 2004 Honda Odyssey
    For your 2004 Honda Odyssey you would not be able to use both Air Lift air bags # AL60740 and the SumoSprings # CSS-1145R. The air bags fit inside the coil springs on the bag so there would not be room to also have the SumoSprings. Even if they did fit together using both would create a very stiff ride and the 1,000 pound capacity and adjustability of the air bags is more than enough to prevent sag and cushion the ride without the need of additional products.

  • SumoSprings Helper Springs For a 2023 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum
    Yes, the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs # CSS-1145R are confirmed to fit your 2023 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum. You should not have any issues for your warranty as it is a add on part and you are not modifying the vehicle components. You are simply helping to provide support to the rear coil springs. The only way you would void your warranty is if Toyota could prove the parts caused a failure or you tried to overload the capacities given from Toyota.

  • Comparison Between SuperSprings # CSS-1145 And # CSS-1145R
    Part # CSS-1145 and part # CSS-1145R are identical helper springs. They are designed to fit the rear only for your 2013 Dodge Durango. Originally these were designed for both the front and back and the R indicated they were to be used on the rear only. These are inserted between the coils of each coil spring on your Durango and help to reduce body roll and help keep your Durango level. As more weight is added the stiffer they become.

  • Can I Use a Weight Distribution Hitch on a 2019 Honda Pilot
    Generally, switching to a weight distribution hitch with anti-sway built in is going to provide a much better towing experience; you're also going to find that these combined systems like the Fastway E2 # FA94-00-0600 will allow you to backup while they're attached. However, according to Honda, it's not recommended that you use a weight distribution hitch on the 2019 Pilot. The Honda Pilot is a uni-body frame and the added stress that a trailer is going to put on the rear axle of a vehicle...

  • Towing Capacity for 2015 Dodge Durango AWD without Factory Tow Package
    I took a look at the owner's manual for your 2015 Dodge Durango AWD and did see that for the Light Duty model, the maximum trailer weight is 3,500 lbs and the maximum tongue weight is 350 lbs. Unfortunately, the overall rating of a towing setup will always be limited by its weakest component. In this case, you will have to go by your vehicle's weight capacity regardless of the installed trailer hitch rating. Considering that the dry weight of your trailer is already at your vehicle's capacity,...

  • Do Coil SumoSprings have an Effect on the Axle Alignment or Wheel Camper on a 2012 Toyota Highlander
    Installing Coil SumoSprings # CSS-1145R on your 2012 Toyota Highlander will not affect the rear axle alignment or the wheel camber. However, to install the springs you have to jack up the frame of the vehicle until the suspension is fully extended. While it isn't likely that doing so will have an impact on the alignment or camber that is the only part of the installation that could change the alignment. Wheel camber is basically a non-issue.

  • Helper Springs for a 2010 Volkswagen TDI
    The problem on the TDI models of the 2010 Volkswagen Jetta is that apparently the chassis is slightly different than regular gas models in terms of mounting the air bags so TDI models are excluded. There are components related to the diesel motor that interfere with the placement of the brackets that hold the air bags. We do have a suspension enhancement product that will fit the TDI models. You can use SumoSprings # CSS-1145R to help support heavy loads and improve ride quality.
