3,000-lb Capacity. These maintenance-free microcellular urethane springs upgrade your vehicle's front suspension. Each 2-piece spring connects at top and bottom and provides unlimited suspension travel and movement for a smooth, comfortable ride.

Specs:
SumoSprings helper springs are great for RVs or motor homes that have slide-outs. Slide-out rooms and other heavy front loads can cause front-end sag as your factory suspension compresses under the weight of the load. This means that the front axle is trying to support not only the extra load but also the motor home's weight. And because there is less weight on your rear axle, your rear tires make less contact with the road, which causes problems with traction, steering, and braking. SumoSprings upgrade your vehicle's factory suspension to level your vehicle, improve driving performance, and keep your ride comfortable.
The innovative 2-piece design of these Rebel springs allows for unlimited suspension travel. This means that there will be more movement in your suspension when you're unloaded or off-roading, which makes your ride smoother and more comfortable.
Each spring has 2 pieces. One piece attaches to the frame of your vehicle. And the other piece attaches to the axle. The pieces come together to provide support when you are carrying a heavy front load. When you're unloaded, they separate so that they don't restrict the movement of your suspension. The closed-cell urethane springs also act like a shock absorber to dampen road vibration.
SumoSprings provide progressive load control - the more you load them, the stiffer they become. With a lighter load, the springs will compress easily for soft engagement and a less bumpy ride. The springs can also compress by as much as 80 percent to support a heavy front load and to help your factory suspension bear up under the load. This evens out the weight, which levels your vehicle and ensures that your rear tires are making better contact with the road. A level ride means that you have improved driving control, ensures safe headlight aim, and helps to minimize sway. The springs also support your factory suspension, which helps prevent sagging and reduces bottoming out.
The springs work independently from one another to support each side of your vehicle. This action helps to reduce body roll when you make a sharp turn. This also helps compensate for an off-center load.
These microcellular urethane springs are tough. They resist abrasion, oil, salt, and UV rays that can more quickly wear out other springs, and they perform well in temperatures ranging from -25 F to 200 F (-33 C to 93 C).
SumoSprings expand and compress vertically with minimum expansion to the sides, so they won't be damaged by nearby mechanical parts, and they fit safely into tighter spots. And unlike air springs, SumoSprings require no maintenance or adjustment.
This kit comes with custom-fit brackets that are designed to easily bolt onto your vehicle.

Have not had a chance to hit the highway as yet. Locally a very good ride. Thanks to Joanne K. for all of her help.
they were a great investment for our motorhome. Swaying now is very little and it has to be very windy for me to notice. I will never own another motorhome without sumo springs. I have a forest river fr3 30ds 2021. Easy to install yourself.
The front Sumo Springs made a major difference in the stability of my Winnebago motorhome. It handles the bumps much better without major jarring of the passengers and dampens the side to side motion in turns and under crosswinds.

After a year of use, this product is the best investment I have made to my Winnebago motorhome. I highly recommend adding Sumo Springs to any gas motor coach to improve stability, ride, and safety!
We have a 2009 build F53 chassis on our 2010 Windsport 32A. I ordered these Sumo springs for the front axle. Hated how bad our coach dashboard would shake and rattle when going over bridge transitions, potholes, and concrete roadway section breaks. Took about an hour and were easy to install alone. Couldn't believe how much these helped the front axle. Worked so well I recently bought a set for the rear axle also. Those are a bit harder to install due to having to drill holes in frame rails to mount the upper bracket and glad I had friend to assist me. Would have only taken a little longer without the help but still easy to do by basic mechanic skills. With having both now we can certainly tell the difference and wished I had bought them sooner.

Our Sumo springs have been the best addition we have made to our coach. Now retired, we have been getting out and driving farther and the Sumo Springs have made the ride so much better. Highly recommend them on this F-53 chassis.
Ordered the sumo springs on a Thursday and received them on a Thursday used the on line video they have had had them installed in no time this isn’t the only product I have gotten from them and will continue to use them great service
I think they helped with the side to side roll I put on front and back sumo’s the roadmaster sway bar and front safety steer. Drove from Michigan to Utah . I think the ford f-53 is not a great place to start
My THOR motor coach has the Ford F-53 chassis. I rides like a truck. That should not be surprising as "it is a truck." I purchased and installed these Sumo Springs and even though it will never be "air bag" suspension, the Sumo Spring made a wonderful difference in improving the ride. I would recommend this add on to everyone and as I meet similar motor coaches on the road, I show them the Sumo Springs and I do recommend them.
Preston did a great job helping me spec in the correct springs for my 2016 Thor Hurricane 27K on a F53 chassis. Placed order with him over phone and received springs two day's later. I just installed them and took Motor home on a test drive around town on bumpy streets and what a difference it made. Drives more like a truck now and less like a boat. I also installed a steering stabilizer spring and did the cheap handling fix to the sway bars. Well worth the time and effort. I did notice that the etralier installation video shows the bottom brackets of the spring installed with the "U" down which is opposite the mfg's printed instructions. I did mine according to the printed instructions cause it seemed to make more sense. Probably no big deal either way.
Thanks etrailer. I'll be contacting you guys when ready to do the back end of my motor home.
Game changer! The factory should be required to install these on every motorhome. From white knuckle carsick swaying and wandering to a one finger smooth ride. Highly recommend!
They helped alot on our motorhome.
Immediate improvement in sway control and ease of driving. I installed these in a few hours at my leisure. Did I mention I am 65? 2019 Winnebago Sunstar 35LX
The product was delivered on time and is installed. The SuperSprings are as advertised. They were a little difficult to install as Winnebago run some cables in the way and were difficult to move.
excellent team works very well I recommend it. Thank you very much

VERY GOOD
Installed myself, took about an hour and a half on the first side and about 45 minutes on the second side. I have not taken a long trip yet but a 5 mile test drive after installation seemed very positive. Will update later after a trip.
These made a huge difference in the drivability and handling of my 2018 Ford F53-based bounder 35K. Highly recommended. And the team at etrailer.com is super responsive and helpful.
I strongly recommend this upgrade, combined with additional/reinforce sway bar. You driving will be more pleasant, less stressful and safer.

When you look at the bumpstop and all the travel it can go, it makes sense to fill that space with a constant contact chusion, such as the Sumo Spring. I have a 2011 F53 chassis supporting a 32 Class A motothome. 16,000 GVW and no slide. I only installed the fronts to see how they worked. I did it myself and it took about 2 1/2 hours. If I can do it anyone that can work a wrench and understands basic mechanics can do it. I'm 60 and it's a tight space under there and takes some effort, but the jobs not hard, just doing it is hard and uncomfortable. My motorhome would ride very rough on the same roads my car ran smooth. The Sumo Springs were an improvement. They did not solve the rough ride on real poor highway, but on normal rough roads, they were an improvement that will benefit the ride on more roads than not. I now plan to do the rears when I get time.
WOW! what a difference it made in the ride of our coach. The jarring in the cab is better. Installation was fairly simple with hand tools. Worth every dollar.

Still loving the improved ride in the coach. I wonder how the rear ones would help?
The Sumo Springs that I added to my 2020 Fleetwood Bounder motorhome (along with a Safe-T-Plus) seem to have corrected the ride & handling problems that I was experiencing. I rated the product 4 out of 5 stars because I have only driven the motorhome 20 miles of so home from the shop. The route did, however, include some rough pavement , narrow lanes & construction zones which were MUCH more difficult before. In all honesty, this is probably a five star product. I can’t wait to take a longer trip & see how it does.
Packed poorly, I assume parts fell out during shipping…. I’m told parts are out of stock and will possibly be in in 2 weeks +…. Customer service wasn’t very concerned or surprised; just going thru the motions I guess.
Seriously think before you order from etrailer…
They are awesome, install was easy and your video's really helped.
Greatly improved ride swaying
20 minutes each side to install. Very easy & easy instructions. And WOW! What a difference in ride, handling & comfort. Immediate results . I've used sumo springs before & can't say enough good about them & etrailer as well.
Added these along with an upgraded rear sway bar from Etrailer. Helped tame the beast, especially in wind.
