Is There a Gap with SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs On 2016 Ford Transit T350 Chassis
Question:
The Sumo instructions say to leave a 1/2inch to 1inch gap. I am thinking this would be correct for a cargo van or something that you would be adding a load to. But since the motorhome is always loaded, shouldnt the sumos be installed with no load or even a slight pre-load? Thanks for your advice.

I reached out to my contact at SuperSprings about the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-121-54 for a 2016 Ford Transit T350 chassis and they stated that the gap between the spring and contact point can vary by application as this spring can be used on both standard models and cutaways. The gap should be less when used on a motorhome but there are too many factors to say exactly what that will be. They stated a lot of these small Sprinter van chassis don't pre-load the spring because the ride would be too stiff.
