Rob: Rob here @etrailer.com and today we're going to be taking a look at the Sumo Springs Front Rebel Helper Springs on our 2016 Ford F53 Chassis Motorhome. Here @etrailer.com we get a lot of questions about Motorhomes, specifically about suspension upgrades because let's face it, if you're new to driving a motor home, or you've been doing it a while, it can be a little bit stressful. The Motorhome's a really big vehicle, there's a lot of area for the wind to catch, which means that we're going to get pushed around. Whether we're driving down the highway and a big truck comes by or a gust of wind, there's a lot of area for it to catch, then we ended up fighting the steering wheel. By the time we get to where we're going, we're going to be exhausted because we're fighting the steering wheel, trying to keep it in the line, not to mention everybody in the back's not enjoying themselves because they're getting tossed around, things are falling off the shelves and everything else.So there's got to be a way to feel more in control and actually enjoy your Motorhome when you go on a trip. So before we do any installation, let's go ahead and take our Motorhome out on our test course and see how it handles. more

SumoSprings Maxim Rear Helper Springs Installation - 2016 Ford F-53 SSR-187-40-1- Video
Today on our 2016 Forest River FR3 with the Ford F53 chassis we're going to take a look at and show you how to install the Sumo Springs Maxim Custom Helper Springs for the rear axle. Part number is SSR-187-40-1. Now, here's what our Sumo Spring Kit is going to look like. Here we've got our driver-side pre-assembled. As you can see, this custom kit is going to help to upgrade that rear suspension, take a lot of the strain off of it. We've got our upper bracket here, it's designed to mount right to the frame and then the lower bracket which is designed to fit right over our spring pack down at our lower leaf springs. Now, what these are designed to do is compress up to 80% and then they can actually extend by up to 50% to help take care of the side-to-side body roll that we get a lot of the times our of our RVs and it's also going to help to really soften up any of those heavy bumps that we encounter. Now, as they sit on your RV normally, they're not going to be doing a whole lot of work, there's very minimal change. It's when the RV starts to tip side-to-side from either wind, taking a sharp corner or even uneven pavement tossing that weight side-to-side. more
