Rear Suspension Support
Towing or hauling a heavy load can cause rear sag as your factory suspension compresses under the weight of the load. This means that the rear 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 front axle, your front 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 rear 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 front 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.

Nissan Xterra
While I haven't used them for trailering yet, I could already feel an improvement in the tightness of the back end. Feels a little more springy now. One of my long complaints about the Xterra was the soft rear end on it and this seems to shore that up nicely. Also seems to eliminate the rear end shimmy. Installation took about 20 minutes, did not use a jack or remove tires.
Installed on a Pro 4x 4wd

I really like my set of sumo springs. Installation was easy and they give my Nissan nv2500 van excellent turning stability, especially when towing a trailer.

Put these on my 2015 Nissan Xterra for towing my camper trailer. I towed it last season without the Sumo Springs, and it worked fine. I put these on to avoid bottoming out my suspension on bumps (although was never a problem). Super-easy to install.
These springs had a noticeable positive impact on my vehicle's ride and towing ability. With the Sumos, it seemed more stable, less reactive to wind, and took some of the strain off of my weight distributing hitch. Without the travel trailer, I didn't really notice a difference in my vehicle's handling or stability. I'd recommend these for anyone who wants the extra suspension support when towing, but OEM ride when not towing. They were expensive, but IMHO worth it!

2013 Nissan Xterra
Received the parts as estimated. I reviewed the instructions chocked the front wheels and put the rear of the Xterra on jack stands. Removed the OE bumpers, installed the Sumo Springs tourqued the bolts. Removed the jack stands and lowered the vehicle. The whole operation took me 25 minutes.
I continue to buy products from “ etrailer.com”. Always the correct part and excellent installation videos. For us shade tree mechanics they are the experts.
Thank you “etrailer and staff.

Bought these as a quick fix to failing springs. The installation was easy and I haven't bottomed out since these have been installed over a year ago. I no longer cringe when approaching rough terrain at speed.

Purchase was easy and delivery was very quick. Installation was straight forward on my Nissan NV3500. Didn’t even have to jack the rear up.First impression is that I don’t notice a difference over uneven roads but it does feel more stable/ upright in turns. We will see how hooking up a trailer and pulling it would feel like.

I have been using SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle for about a year. I installed these helper springs after adding a rear tire carrier and additional spare, replacement bumper heavier, and 4 gallon fuel can on the rear of my 2008 Nissan Xterra. I was hoping they would help eliminate rear end recoil when going over large bumps or dips while off road due to the increased weight on the extreme rear of the vehicle. These progressive springs do an impressive job on remedying my issue. I have much less bounce from the rear end after installing the srings and they have continued to be effective. I highly recommend.

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.

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.

Very easy installation in about 20 minutes. Very ingenious concept as opposed to bolt on leaf style helper springs
by: Dan08/01/2023
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: Curt03/16/2024
Fairly simple to put on but need to work around the brake lines and bed cross beams. I haven’t tried it yet with weight. I have enclose pic of drivers side. Maybe can’t tell from the pic but there is space and flexibility around the lines around bolt.
by: Darryl 03/06/2023
Straight forward, simple, replacement for OEM springs. These springs make contact with the lower arms all the time and definitely help dampen the bounce effect from a heavier steel bumper. Any rolling effect from uneven roadways and turning is also reduced, it feels the vehicle is more stable. For my situation, this is the first step to take before considering replacing shocks, etc., and is very economical. I'll give it more time, but I believe this is all I'll need to do. Thanks etrailer! Quick shipping!

- Recommended Weight Distribution System For 2010 Nissan Xterra And StarCraft RT11 Pop-Up CamperFor your 2010 Nissan Xterra, a weight distribution hitch is not overkill as long as you have the correct weight capacity. Weight distribution systems allow you to carry even a minimal tongue weight more dispersed for less sag and better overall ride. You are correct to accommodate the system for loaded tongue weight as well as any cargo behind the rear axle as that functions as additional tongue weight. For your system I recommend the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control...
view full answer... - Should SumoSprings Be Centered Over 2011 Nissan Xterra AxleIf you installed either of the SumoSpring kits designed for your 2011 Nissan Xterra, part # SSR-210-40 or part # SSR-210-47, and the mounting bracket installed correctly and everything is seated as it should be, then I would say the helper springs are working as intended. If you installed a different kit on your Xterra or something was broken or out of place then that could be a contributing factor. We haven't installed either of these kits on an Xterra before so I have nothing to compare...
view full answer... - Hitch for 2009 Nissan Xterra for Carrying Motorcycle CarrierThe highest rated hitch we offer for your 2009 Nissan Xterra is the Curt # 13514 which has a tongue weight rating of 400 lbs. This would leave you with 80 lbs for the weight of your carrier since your motorcycle weighs 320 lb. Rear suspension enhancement like the SumoSprings kit part # SSR-210-47 would be a great option since that will be a lot of additional weight on your rear suspension.
view full answer... - Should I Beef Up the Suspension On a 2006 Nissan Xterra When Towing a TrailerIt's never a bad idea to enhance the suspension on a vehicle used to pull a trailer as the heavier the trailer, the more the rear end of the vehicle will sag which has an affect on braking, stability, handling and much more. I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-210-47 for a 2006 Nissan Xterra since they are very easy to install and have a much better ride than like replacements due to the progressive spring design. These will do a great job of providing extra...
view full answer... - How To Prevent Sag While Towing with a Lifted 2012 Nissan XterraI do have an option for you but the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-210-47 are not the best option for a lifted vehicle because they don't come with spacers nor are they offered separately. The option to make your own spacers is certainly possible however, if you use the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # TJRC01 which is a very similar kit you can use a combination of both part # TA25723-90AD00 and part # TA25722-90F00 until you get the gap down to 1/2"-1-1/2"....
view full answer... - Load Rating For SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs On 2010 Nissan XterraThe 1,000lb rating for the Blue SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-210-40 is for the pair of springs at 50% compression. The 1,500lb rating for the Black SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-210-47 is for the pair of springs at 50% compression.
view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement to Reduce Sag on a Nissan NV 3500You didn't say which year Nissan NV 3500 you have but as of right now there's only one generation. We don't carry any traditional air bag kits that you inflate or deflate to your liking that fit the NV 3500 but we do have the SumoSprings Solo helper springs that are jounce springs to help keep your van level. They're not adjustable like air bags but the install is much easier and they're completely mainenance free once installed. There are two different models of the Solo; one for medium...
view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement Options For 2020 Nissan NV 2500Seems like you're needing some suspension enhancement! I recommend using the RoadActive kit # RAS3614-T. This will help your suspension from 0 to 100% travel. It's also adjustable to get the right amount of support. If that's not enough, get some helper springs # SSR-210-47 in the rear, these will only engage when your vehicle sags enough to hit the bump stops. If you're only looking to help the last half of your suspension travel and not hinder your smooth ride when you're not hauling,...
view full answer... - SumoSprings Helper Springs for 5th Wheel TrailerThe SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-210-47 referenced in your question are actually jounce-style springs, not air bags, so they do not feature a valve that could be used to fill them with air. These are maintenance free springs that don't require any adjustments or attention after the initial install. These particular springs are designed specifically for certain model years of the GMC Canyon and Nissan NV or Xterra. Installing these on your 5th wheel trailer would likely...
view full answer... - When Should Sway Control be Used with a Weight Distribution SystemFirst of all, thank you for your service. If is recommended to use a weight distribution (WD) system and sway control if your trailer weighs at least half of the weight of the tow vehicle. On bigger pickups you could probably get away without needing either but since you are using a 2007 Chevy Colorado I do recommend with having a device to combat rear sag in your pickup and trailer sway. Unless you will be making a really sharp turn to park your trailer you should be able to use a system...
