Question

Question:

I have a 2017 Coachman Freelander 20CB on a Ford Transit Chassis. I am trying to figure out which set of SumoSprings would be better for me. Could you help me? SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle Item # SSR-121-40 or SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle SSR-121-47

I would be happy to help you. It looks like your 2017 Coachman Freelander 20CB has a total weight of right around 10,000 lbs. I recommend going with the 1,500 lbs item # SSR-121-47 SumoSprings.

The extra capacity of the 1,500 lbs system will help you level out your suspension and compensate for the cabover portion of your motorhome. The SumoSprings will also help balance your rear end out from side to side.

I have linked an installation video below for you to take a look at.

The loaded tongue weight of the trailer will likely be over the 1,000 capacity of the blue SumpSprings part #SSR-117-40 so I recommend the black SumoSprings part #SSR-117-47 for a 2017 Ford F-150. The tongue weight capacity of the trailer (loaded) is…
