Today on our 2019 Ford F53 chassis motorhome, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the SumoSprings maxim custom helper springs for the rear axle.Having a motorhome can be a really fun thing and we can enjoy it a lot. We can go places we've never been before, spend time with our family, go camping or anything like that. But at the same time it can be really stressful and even scary at times. Because our motorhome, it's a rather big vehicle and there's a lot of area here for the wind to catch. So when we're driving down the road, it may feel like we're getting pushed around and the body starts to lean and roll, especially when a semi drives past us or we hit a big cross wind. So before we put any of our suspension components on, let's take it on our test course and see how it handles.As I bring my motorhome through the slalom course, I can definitely feel a lot of body roll going on, like it almost wants to lean before it starts to turn. more

These springs can compress up to 80%, can provide varying amounts of load leveling carrying capacity. You'll have one on each side, so if you have an uneven load, you'll have one spring applying more pressure than the other to help balance that out. Additionally, it will help increase the smoothness of your ride, because you're going to have a proportional amount of spring tension the more it's compressed.It'll also help reduce sway, so if you're hitting any uneven pavement, these will help absorb some of that road shock and minimize the amount of sway you'd have and when wind is hitting up against the side of your motor home, these will also help working in conjunction with one another to help minimize that sway. more

They're also going to help to absorb bumps and shots while driving down the road. I think one of the most important features is that it's going to minimize the sway and body roll when you're going through turns and you're out on the road because that's just going to help it feel a lot safer and sturdier. These springs feature progressive load control so when there isn't as heavy of a load on them, it's going to be softer and therefore give it a nicer ride and when there's a heavier load, they're going to get stiffer to help support it properly. If you're looking for something that's going to help level out your motor home when you've got it loaded with all your gear but also to minimize that body roll and sway when rolling down the road and make it easier on the driver, these springs are going to do that for you.

SumoSprings Maxim Front Axle Helper Springs Installation - 2014 Ford F-53- Video

Today in our 2014 Ford F3 Chassis Motorhome, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the SumoSprings Maxim Custom Helper Springs for the front axle, part number SSF-180-40-1. Here's what the SumoSprings are going to look like once they're installed on the motorhome. As you can see, it bolts up to the frame but also using clamps and carriage bolts, bolts down through the leaf spring itself. These SumoSprings help to support a heavy front load to help keep the vehicle level, especially with motorhomes that have slide-outs. They also help to absorb bumps and shocks for a smoother ride. They feature progressive load-control, which means with lighter loads, it will give a softer, nicer ride, and with heavier loads, the springs get stiffer to make sure that they RV doesn't sag and that your ride quality doesn't suffer. These springs help to improve the ride of the motorhome when gear is loaded up and it's fully weighted and it minimizes body-roll and sway to make it easier on the driver on long road trips. more
