Do the Coil SumoSprings for a 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris Provide Lift & Reduce Squat

Question

Question:

coil sumo springs PN: 1195R Installed on 2020 Mercedes-Benz Metris Cargo van I just installed a sumo spring. Before I go any further I need to know if this is a correct fit since there is a ~ 2-1/2inch end to end gap when the coil spring is unloaded - See attached photo. Reason for question is install photo shows no gap. Please clarify as soon as possible so I can proceed. Thanks !

Yes, it is ok for the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension # CSS-1195R to have a gap like that when installed, so long as they are firmly installed in the coil. The main thing you would be concerned about is the coil overlapping too much. "If the ends are overlapping more than 1 inch, you may need to cut off the excess overlap. Cut the excess of the Coil SumoSprings so that you have an overlap of 1/2" to 1"."
