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.

I have not installed them yet but they look just as described and am looking froward to seeing how they work. Plenty of instructions provided. Thanks!

Couldn’t have been a simpler install! Total time was less than 15 minutes which included digging the floor jack out, blocking the tires and cleanup. Makes a heck of a difference in keeping the nose of the truck up when towing trailer or hauling 16 golf cart batteries.

easy to install. Have ~500 pounds in my tacoma bed between a cap, sleeping platform/drawer system and cargo. These took up about 1/2” of sag and improved the ride

2017 Toyota Tacoma
The product shipped from e trailer as ordered and arrived as promised. Both went on easily for this 71 yr. old, but the metal mounts are heavier than those that came off so had to let out a little more thread than OEM. They lifted the rear of my '17 Tacoma TRD Off-Road about 3/4". The pickup does not 'rock' as much in turns and is a little stiffer over highway bumps. I've not hauled a load yet to give an honest opinion on that function of the springs. No complaints about the product and cudo's to etrailer for their sales and shipping folks.

Works as hoped and advertised. Easy to install, keeps the Tacoma level when pulling travel trailer. Stiffens ride when pickup is empty, but the trade off is acceptable.

I've not installed them yet, but I rated four stars for customer service, I did order the blue by mistake and after one call and a speaking to a human quickly the return process was expedited, and the Black sumo springs arrived in just a few days . I expect them to perform well as verified in reviews by others.

First of all I am not a technical person and purchased these solely on the advice provided by etrailer.
I have been towing a 25' travel trailer with a somewhat undersized truck(6 cyl Toyota Tacoma) and was experiencing some excessive 'bounce'. These SumoSprings addressed this issue quite well with no stiffness or effect when not towing. Completely satisfied with my purchase and appreciative of etrailer for the excellent advice.

I installed the helpers on my Tacoma to help with the load of a car trailer hauling our old pick-up to car shows. They also help to keep the truck level when hauling loads of fire wood. The only issue that I have is that when empty, it gives the truck a stiffer ride.
Thank you Etrailer for your quick service and follow-up on your products.

Arrived sooner than expected. etrailer has always been top notch. The sumo springs really seem to be good on my Tacoma, half price of air bags . I have always ran air bags and kept a minimum of 10 psi. These seem to ride about the same as the bags did with 10 psi. Got the black sumo mediums to heavy . Seem great with 400 pound tounge weight. They did lift my truck about half an inch. I have bed topper and about 150 pounds in bed. I would recommend.

The SumoSprings for my 2020 Tacoma Off-road installed with ease in less than an hr. Very nice product. Will be a welcome addition when loading up the bed or pulling the utility trailer. Thank you Etrailer for the customer support.

Product was easy to install it took me about 40 minutes, could be done in less time if you have impact. I have not pulled my trailer yet since I have installed it but it definitely looks like it will take the load of my 14-ft enclosed trailer. I installed them on a 2020 Toyota Tacoma to help with the squat in the rear of truck.

I've had these on my Tacoma for a year and they are great. Easy to install, and eliminates the "bottoming out" that I used to get whenever going over bumps, with a truckbed full of bikes or camping gear.

Ordering was easy!!! Shipped right to my home address without any problems. Installed them same day as they arrived. About 30 mins from start to finish. They work just like they are supposed to!!! Very satisfied and will recommend they to everyone I know!!! Great job peeps!!! Keep up the great work!!!

- Recommended SumoSprings For 2016 Toyota Tacoma Carrying 1045lb Truck Bed CamperI would be happy to help! Since you already have a 2000lb Hellwig helper leaf spring installed in your 2016 Toyota Tacoma I recommend going with the SumoSprings # SSR-612-40. These will give you an additional 1400lbs of load leveling support while carrying your 1045lb truck bed camper, and will not affect the unloaded ride of your truck so no need to worry about them being too stiff. I included a video of the # SSR-612-40 for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - SumoSprings Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2018 Toyota TacomaThe SumoSprings kit part # SSR-612-47 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Toyota Tacoma and will work great to give you additional suspension support. It will help raise the ride height when loaded as it reduces sag, but it will not increase the ride height of an unloaded truck.
view full answer... - Rear Suspension Enhancement For A 2019 Toyota Tacoma SportFor rear suspension enhancement on your 2019 Toyota Tacoma I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle Item # SSR-612-47. These spring are a light duty jounce style spring to help reduce the feeling of the vehicle bottoming out when weight is added. Keep in mind adding these does not increase the weigh carrying capacity of the vehicle. It is also recommended when hauling a travel trailer to use a weight distribution system. I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution...
view full answer... - Height of SumoSprings for 2023 Toyota TacomaThe height of the SumoSpring Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-612-47 is 4-1/2". Since you have a lift on your 2023 Toyota Tacoma you will need to measure to see if they will fit or not. There should be 1/2" - 1" gap once installed for the SumoSprings to work properly. If the space is larger that means your truck would have to sag that much more before they engage. Basically you wouldn't be getting the support you're looking for.
view full answer... - Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2017 Toyota Tacoma for Occasional Towing If the loaded tongue weight of your trailer will be around 640 pounds, the better option between the two SumoSprings systems that you mentioned will be the higher-rated # SSR-612-47, which features a weight capacity of 1,000 pounds. The # SSR-612-40 that you also referenced has a weight capacity of 500 pounds so it may be a bit under-rated when hooked up to your fully loaded trailer. Both systems are confirmed to fit your 2017 Toyota Tacoma. With this in mind, any jounce style spring...
view full answer... - Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2023 Toyota TacomaFor your 2023 Toyota Tacoma I recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-612-47. These will add the support you're looking for without impacting unloaded ride quality. The SumoSprings have an 1,800 lb capacity and a microcellular urethane construction. They will help absorb bumps and shocks, keep you level while towing or hauling, and minimize side to side movement since they work independently. They also come with a limited lifetime warranty.
view full answer... - Height of SumoSprings Solo Helper Springs for 2016 Toyota TacomaI went out the warehouse and measured the 1,000 pound SumoSprings your 2016 Toyota Tacoma and they're right under 5 inches at about 4-15/16 inches. These are custom fit for your Tacoma as long as it has the factory suspension. If you've modified it at all let me know and see if we have another option that'll work for you.

- Solution for 2017 Toyota Tacoma that Has Suspension Sag When TowingFor your 2017 Toyota Tacoma the correct SumoSpring kit is the part # SSR-612-47 and not the kit you mentioned as that is for the older models. This will reduce the sag but what you might be better off with is a weight distribution system since that reduces the sag too but in doing so helps improve braking and handling as it distributes some of the tongue weight up to the front axle. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the...
view full answer... - SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs For a 2024 Nissan Frontier King CabYou will want to select either the 1,400LB # SSR-612-40 or 1,800LB # SSR-612-47 SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs for your 2024 Nissan Frontier King Cab. The only difference between these is the amount of capacity they are capable of supporting and the color of the part itself. If you are only occasionally hauling heavy loads the lighter option would work the best for you. These will have the least affect on the quality of your ride when unloaded as well.
view full answer... - Comparing Leaf Help Springs And Jounce Springs For A 2023 Toyota Tacoma 4WDJounce springs will sit on the frame and come into contact with the axle as the suspension compresses. Typically the vehicle manufacturer will place a rubber-type material here to prevent the harsh bump between these two components when heavily loaded or hitting rough terrain. These manufacturer jounce bumpers are usually pretty small and only get used when the vehicle is loaded down so upgrading to larger ones like SumoSprings will have them activate sooner and provide you with more load...
view full answer... - Recommended SumoSprings for 2018 Toyota Tacoma with TRD PackageFor your 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4wd the correct Sumo Springs are the Sumo Springs Custom Solo Helper Springs # SSR-612-47, which will replace your factory bump stops with a durable microcellular urethane bump stop. These are designed to help level uneven towing loads and fight sway, and are a great addition for any truck that is towing or carrying heavy payloads. I've linked a review video of these for you to check out.
view full answer... - Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2017 Toyota Tacoma with 2" LiftI have a solution for you, but because SuperSprings does not offer a lift spacer for the SumoSprings, using the # SSR-612-47 may not be the best solution in this case because of your lift. Instead, I recommend using the Timbren # TTORTUN4L which can be used with lift spacers like the # A25723-90AH00, which will help compensate for your 2" lift. The Timbren system won't effect your unloaded ride quality and allow the springs ample room for movement. I've linked some brief review and installation...
view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement for 2016 Toyota Tacoma Towing Trailer with Bed CargoBased on how much you'd be carrying and towing the SumoSpring you'd want is the # SSR-612-47 which has the 1,000 lb capacity. But your best option is the RoadActive Suspenion kit part # RAS4514-SAT which gives you the support you are wanting while improving handling and stability beyond what the SumoSpring offers and do so without negatively affecting the ride quality.
view full answer... - Best SumoSprings For 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD For Towing & Load in Truck BedHey Mike, thanks for the question and the best SumoSprings for your 2023 Toyota Tacoma TRD for a combination of towing and a load in your truck bed are the 1,400 lb springs: - SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-612-40 The reason I like these over the 1,800 lb capacity # SSR-612-47 is because 1,400 lbs is more than enough to handle both the weight in your truck bed and the tongue weight of your trailer, and the 1,400 lb springs are also less dense, which means more cushioning...
view full answer... - Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2017 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 with 4 Leaf SpringsFor your 2017 Toyota Tacoma, the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-612-47 are my recommendation. This is a popular option and will give you support while fitting your 4 leaf springs. In my opinion these are better for both loaded and unloaded vehicles because they have more of the progressive load support. If you prefer Timbren which are a little more stiff which is great for loaded beds but not as great when unloaded I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement...

For a 4WD with 4 leaves in the spring pack, use # TTORTUN4, for 3 leaves use # T72FR. For 2WD vehicles with 4 leaves, use # T62FR or # T72FR for 3 leaves. This being said, the Timbren systems offer much more support than what you'd actually need to counteract...

- Will The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs Provide Lift To A 2018 Nissan Frontier?Just like the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-612-47, the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TTORTUN4L will also replace the factory bump stops and mount directly over the axle, there is no offset. As far as actual lift goes, neither of these systems actually provide any lift as they are not designed to do so. Finally, for life expectancy, SumoSprings does not have a finite number assigned to this however, they do stand behind their products and offer a limited...

Part # SSR-610-40 that you were looking at is a fit for older model year Tacomas and will not fit your 2017 model.

I recommend going with the # SSR-612-47 as they will have a load rating of 1800lbs where the # SS49ZR only has a load rating of 1100lbs. The # SSR-612-47 will still do a great job of minimizing...

Still awesome. A year later, have hauled up to 16 golf cart batteries with no issues due to the weight. A real help in getting the work done without the fear of bottoming out.
