Front Suspension Support
A heavy front load, such as a snowplow or a winch, 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 weight of your vehicle. 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.
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 closed-cell urethane material allows for smooth contact between the springs and your vehicle. And the springs act like a shock absorber to dampen road vibration.
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.
Durable, Custom-Fit Springs
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 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.
The helper springs are custom designed to fit your vehicle, and they install easily - no drilling required.

It is designed to fit many different vehicles, so what we like to recommend is to go to our website, use our fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show you if this will work for your application. Now, these helper springs will upgrade your vehicle's front suspension, for improved driver control and comfort. Supports heavy front-end loads to keep your vehicle level, it'll help to absorb any bumps and shocks, and it'll help minimize sway.
It does use a progressive load control, which means the springs compress according to the weight of the cargo. Lighter loads, the springs will compress easily at first for soft engagement and a less bumpy ride. Then, if the load is heavier, the springs will compress by as much as 80% for support. Now, these springs are designed to work independently from each other, to compensate for off-center loads and reduce body roll during sharp turns. It is made of a durable, high-density microcellular urethane. It is designed to work in temperatures from a -25F to 200F.
It is also designed to resist damage that can be caused by oils, road salts, and UV rays. Has a minimal lateral expansion, so the springs will compress vertically instead of to the sides, so they aren't easily damaged when operating in tight spaces. They are maintenance-free: There's no tubing to run or air pressure to monitor like with air springs. It's a simple no-drill installation. Comes with the 2 Jounce-style springs that are included.
This part is made in the USA. Comes with a nice set of detailed instructions that show you how to install it on your vehicle. A few specs on this: The weight capacity on them is, at 50% compression would be 2500lbs. This is designed to work with a suspension system that is in good working order. A note I want to let you know is that the SumoSprings will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity, so you do not want to exceed the manufacturer's weight limit of your vehicle. That should do it for the review on the SuperSprings Heavy Duty SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs for the Front Axle, with a 2,500lbs weight capacity..

I have a 08 Chevy 3500 RV. Chevy used an inferior metal for the coil springs for. Few years and they sagged and we’re riding on the bump stops. While I was changing the coils anyway I figured I would add the Sumos. Ride is a little stiffer but still smooth. Handles better in turns and feels like more control. While some of the change is the new coil springs I believe there would be more bounce without the Sumos. Would definitely do again.

I am not sure they are worth the price and an option should have been offered to replace the two on each side instead of assuring only one is needed All my questions were answered and my calls were returned

2012 Chevrolet Express Van
I bought these helper springs for my 2012 Chevy Express van to help control the porpoising I was experiencing when towing. The ride is much more controlled now so the springs did their job. The reason for 3 stars is according to the instructions, this should have been an easy installation. The suspension was supposed to hang down far enough to make it simple to put the springs in place. Well, apparently no one had actually installed these springs on an Express van before, the suspension does not hang down that far, and I had to really compress these springs to get them installed. On top of that, the base of these springs is way bigger than the OEM springs, so getting them locked into place is a chore. Installing took way longer and was quite difficult, but they do the job.

I believe it’s going to be a great addition to my truck when pulling our RV. Looking forward to a smoother, more even ride. I left the 2x4 blocks in overnig8ht and drove around to ensure a good seat for the springs.

Very easy installation in about 20 minutes. Very ingenious concept as opposed to bolt on leaf style helper springs
by: Jeremy01/04/2023
I installed Sumo Springs on our 06 Xterra right after we bought our Casita 17' trailer. The back of the X squatted a bit more than I liked. I had also noticed before some tendency to bottom out if the car was full of people and stuff. These ingenious devices are a perfect solution for me! They are about 3/4" clear of being engaged with the axle when unloaded, so the ride is not overly affected, but progressively take up some of the weight when the back end starts coming down with load. It now sits very nicely with the trailer connected, no weight distributing hitch and stuff in the back, and no more bottoming. We've put a good number of miles on the X in the last year, towing and not towing, and they are still doing the job.
I should note, the back of my Xterra is lifted about an inch with AAL springs. If that were not the case, the Sumo Springs would be engaged all the time. That will vary with vehicle.
I will also note that they are non-adjustable, unlike airbags. I kinda like that, I didn't want to mess with adjusting air pressure and such. But once they do start kicking in as one or both wheels travel, they do stiffen it up quite a bit. I mean, there's no way around that; you can't take load without stiffening the suspension. As such I think they inhibit upward axle articulation a bit when 4-wheeling, but for us that's not a big deal. Since they do not connect to the axle, they don't affect downward articulation at all.
The pics are shortly after installation, one with the car unloaded, and two with trailer and gear loaded up.

These Sumo Springs were easy to install, even for a 70 year old guy. I tow a 7,000lb camper and even tho I have a nice WDH I still had som sag on my Tundra. These helped level it out when towing and got rid of “some” of the bounce. They were really a godsend when I overloaded the bed with about 2,000lbs of pavers. That weight squished the Sumos significantly but the truck drove and rode great. Better and less expensive than air bags.
by: Kenneth02/22/2023
Gave it 5 because of ease of install - note they use SAE threads 9/16, truck frame and oem is metric 15mm wrench. Makes no difference but don't use oem nuts on spring. I installed all shims supplied and this left about 3/4" gap so hoing its the best for my needs. Easy to reduce if needed.
by: Thomas07/09/2022
The SumoSprings Solo came to the RV Resort today. I installed them on my Titan SV today in less than an hour. Only drove 10 miles with them and they are what I was looking for. In my opinion it was a needed upgrade and thumbs up!
by: Zach01/24/2024
While these worked great for the first few months and helped level the load, they have now become deformed and squished out of shape permanently. We have a slide in camper that is on the truck for only for trips otherwise the truck is unloaded and off the bumps. I did not expect them to deform so much, and so easily after only a year of use.
by: William01/13/2024
I have had these on my Jeep Gladiator for over a year now and I still like them. Sumo Springs really help with sag when towing my Scamp camper trailer and when the truck bed is loaded with stuff. When it is cold outside they are stiffer and I can feel when they hit the stops on hard bumps. Sumo Springs are a very easy overload spring option with factory lift.
by: Louis 04/17/2023
Great upgrade from the oem jounce. Easy to install with 2 people but follow the install video and use a 1/2" deep socket with a long extension. Took about 30 minutes.

- SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs for Front Axle of 2018 GMC Sierra 3500The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Front Axle # SSF-204-54 come as a pair; if you wanted four of these springs you would need to order two kits. As for the 2,500 lb weight rating, that is the pair of springs. What it means is that these springs will be 50 percent compressed with 2,500 lbs of weight on your front axle. I have added links to video reviews of these helper springs to check out as well.
