Get the cushioning of SumoSprings for your coils. These wedge-shaped springs fit between the individual coils in each spring of your Toyota Tacoma's front suspension for better load support and a more comfortable ride. Great for trucks with snowplows.
Features:
Specs:
Most OEM coil suspensions have a difficult time supporting heavy front loads like winches, brush guards and snowplows. 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 clearing snow. Insert these helper springs in between the individual coil loops in your front coil springs to help defeat driver fatigue and to better support heavy front loads.
Each doughnut-shaped spring has H-shaped channels at the top and bottom that fit to a rung of each coil in your front coil springs. Inside each round spring, a core of microcellular polyurethane foam adds cushioning between your coils. The cushioning absorbs shock, but also works progressively to better support front loads, and it keeps the front end more level. Unbumpify your ride with these SumoSprings for coil suspensions.

Get the cushioning of SumoSprings for your coils. These wedge-shaped springs fit between the individual coils in each spring of your vehicle's front suspension for better load support and a more comfortable ride. Great for trucks with snowplows.I was very excited about these for my 4x4 2015 Nissan Frontier. I am not completely displeased with them because they do make a mild difference over bumps, but they aren't worth over 100 bucks no way, the fact that I had to CUT THEM to fit due to them being too long made me feel like the company does not due their research when manufacturing them. It was so long that it lapped the beginning on it, so in order to have them installed as shown on the instructions I had to cut nearly 3 inches off... Which meant I had to comely install them, mark then uninstall, cut to fit, then install again. For an item to cost this much I expected better build quality.
Bang for buck it's not worth it, it's overpriced and I wouldn't recommend them for that cost.
Actually used these on the rear coil overs on our 2008 expedition for a little extra help while pulling our camper. Definitely helped level things out. Simple and great product.
Massive improvement to my 2018 Max Tow package F-150s towing stability with a 7500lb GVW travel trailer. Does not eliminate chucking and such, but dampens all of the undesirable movements to a negligible level. Towed over 5000 miles with Sumo Springs front and rear, and would not tow without them.
Installed on 2006 F 150 to prevent front sag when using front hitch mounted cooler rack for surf fishing. Easy install. Start at bottom of spring where there is more room to work. Loosely install tie wraps then rotate sumo to top of spring between 2 and 3 coil, then tighten tie wraps. Haven't had chance to evaluate performance with cooler rack.
Have worked great on my Expedition towing a 25 ft travel trailer over 9000 miles last summer.
clear instructions, easy install and they work great.
This Spring rubber did what it was designed to do and stayed in place.It also was a snap to install
Excellent, to help mitigate propoising while towing.
Run them at all 4 corners on 2018 Expedition w/tow pkg.
Would not to w without them.
Put them on my F-150 and It's great for towing my 36' rv
worked fine
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.
The product itself was the best quality I could expect.
The website on the other hand repeatedly assured me this would install on a 2015 Honda CR-V. Which it will not.
I tried it myself and also took the vehicle and parts to a mechanic in town and all persons involved with the garage agreed this wouldn’t be a good idea to install.
The spring helpers could be jammed in around the struts but would rub and bind on the inner body of the vehicle.
The short answer here is the rear suspension on my vehicle has struts not plain old coil springs not to mention the clearance lacking the install.
The appointment with the mechanic was a couple months out and took me past 30 days for a return of the product so I still have them rolling around in my trunk.
Not the best experience overall.
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.
My van conversion rides rougher, but I can move through LA traffic much easier now. Probably should have bought the blue rear springs, not the yellows.
Overall very pleased with the Sumo Springs, it’s a different van, 10 mph faster everywhere I go. Only four stars because they’re too expensive. 350+250
Easy enough to install, BUT, you need a jack that can get your truck or van up pretty high.
Absolutely not worth it at all... Initially great but after 15-20 min of load the rear sunk back down to where it was and the sumo spring never recovered. I ended up tossing them and buying a set of coil springs from Ralitek. Do not waste your money.
Installed the CSS-1168R Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper spacers on a 2011 Honda Ridgeline 4 wheel drive rear springs. Installation took about 45 minutes including removal of tires. Once spacer was started the installation was easy.
Zip ties were a little more difficult because of the dust strut covers installed by Honda.
I have a 2015 Subaru Outback. When towing it went from a mushy rear end to a nice stiffness. Max tongue weight is 275# and with 220# on a recent trip (~2000# trailer weight) it only squatted the rear end about an inch (after rolling back and forth to let it settle).
Previously I was getting instability above 60mph especially when hitting the bumps at the ends of bridges. On my recent trip I was able to hit 80mph with the car feeling totally planted.
When totally empty you do get just the smallest hint of a 'truck like' ride but I typically carry some tools and other stuff all the time and that dampens it.
For install I found it helped to sort of feed the sumo into the coil as you kinda roll your hand over the part juming into the groove.
Installation was a bit more difficult than anticipated, however, for an 81-year-old guy, most everything is. The SumoSprings work just fine. I feel like they've reduced the sway and increased stability while hauling our Tab320 trailer with our Subaru Outback. Service from eTrailer was fast.
Works exactly how I needed. The Ride is still very nice. There's about 350lbs with the weight of the box & rack. Suspension in the rear used to sag a bunch, even with a 2" suspension lift.
Pretty easy to install. During my first drive with them installed I heard a lot of thumping even over small bumps, but it seemed to work itself out on the second drive. I think it helps level out the slight sag in the rear of the car, and the front wheel drive which used to slip frequently when towing gets better traction. Be aware that for a 2005 Highlander, there are no holes or zip ties, and you can't get the Helpers to stay much higher than the lowest coil. I think them sliding down is what eliminated the thumping.
Work well, tow a 17 aluminum boat with the 2021 ascent. takes some of the shock and squat out of the rear suspension. Vehicle tows well with it. Glad i purchased them
