How To Pick Out SumoSprings Suspension Enhancement For 2020 Ford F-250

Question

Question:

I'm looking at both the rear axle SumoSprings I see but not sure what makes the most sense for my 2020 Ford F-250, the 2,800lb one or 1,500lb one?

Unless you are near or at maximum capacity for your truck tongue weight, it would make sense to use the lighter of the two, # SSR-127-47 instead of # SSR-127-54. This will provide you a smoother ride overall but especially when you're vehicle is not loaded. Either way the SumoSprings are a substantial upgrade from the factory bump stops, longer in design, and are more sturdy to absorb shock and progressively stiffen under loads.
