Spacers for SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs

Question:

I have a 1 inch block in my rear suspension. Do you sell a spacer that is 1 inch thicker. Is the part number ssr-108-40. Watched a video and they say I should use the black model, not the blue

We do have a 1" spacer for the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs, part # SSR-108-40. It's the Timbren 1" Spacer For Raised Frame Vehicles, part # A25723-90AH00. You can add these on top of the one that comes with Helper Springs to get you to that 2" mark.

These are made specifically for Timbren suspension systems, but they work with the SumoSpring Solo Helper Springs. Just keep in mind that if you add this, you will need to replace the mounting bolt with a longer one, which you can find at your local hardware store. I've linked to a video review of this spacer for you to look at.

As for the black and blue models, it sounds like you are inquiring about the difference between the Helper Spring model above and the black model for your 2008 Ford F-150, part # SSR-108-47. These are the same springs with the only difference being the weight capacity. The blue from above has a capacity of 1500 pounds while the black SSR-108-47 has a capacity of 1000 pounds.
