Recommended Sump Spring for Ford F250 Towing Fifth Wheel Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a 2021 Ford F-250 XL with a 6’8” bed. I am towing a 5th wheel with a GVWR of 12k pounds and hitch weight of 1,828 pounds When the weight is fully on the truck, I get quite a bit of sag. Which product color sumo spring would be most appropriate for me?

Since you are experiencing quite a bit of suspension sag on your 2021 Ford F-250 the best SumoSprings suspension kit would be the part # SSR-129-47-2 which can provide up to 5,000 lbs of additional support and would eliminate the sag you are experiencing.

SumoSprings recommends 1/2" to 1" of space once installed on your 2019 Ford F-250. This varies between vehicles so since you want the quickest engagement I would aim for the 1/2" space. You will have to use one of the 1/2" spacers…

I spoke with my contact at SumoSprings and he informed me that the dimensions of the #SSR-127-54 are 10-3/4 x 7-1/4 x 4-1/2 inch. Just the yellow portion of the spring is 7 inches tall.

If you are considering Timbrens like the #TDR1500DQ and the SumoSprings like the #SSR-307-47 for your 2022 Ram 1500 4x4, I recommend the SumoSprings #SSR-307-47. The SumoSprings will offer the same quality as the Timbrens in terms of suspension…

There is a slight difference between Timbren helper spring models for the 2021 Ford F-250 which would use part #TFR250SDJ and the F-350 which would use #TFR350SDJ. Timbren makes a great product, but I prefer the SumoSprings #SSR-128-47-2 for trucks…
