Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2017 Subaru Crosstrek
Question:
Good morning, Im going to pick up a new tear trailer 150 lbs tongue weight this summer and Im going to be pulling it with my 2017 Subaru Crosstrek. I was looking into your Sumo Springs to help with rear end squat. Do you think thats the best product for my application? Would I need to install them on both the front ad back springs on my Crosstrek? Ill also have a couple of dogs and probably some gear in the back of the car as well... Thanks for your help,

Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, I do believe that the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs item # CSS-1125R are the best option you have to enhance your Crosstrek's suspension. These springs adjust progressively to the weight put on the rear of your vehicle. If you are loaded down they will keep your rear suspension from completely flexing causing sagging. The best part about these helper springs is you do not notice them when you're not towing a trailer.
Unless you're loading your roof down with extra gear you wouldn't need to install them on the front. If you are you will want Item # CSS-1125F.
I have linked an installation video below.
