SumoSprings Maxim Rear Helper Springs Installation - 2005 Workhorse W-Series- Video

Hi there Motor Homeowners, today on your 2005 Workhorse W 20 chassis Motor Home we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install Sumo Springs on the rear axle. And this is what our Sumo Spring looks like when it's installed. You can see that the bracket is a custom fit for this chassis as it will line up with the factory jounce bumper attachment, and it will connect right on there on one side. And on the other side it actually lines up with factory holes that are already there present. So you don't have to do any drilling really with this setup to get these installed. It does have an optional hole in the event that the lower bolt is just unusable. more

SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs Installation - 2005 Workhorse W-Series- Video

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look and installing SumoSprings front helper springs on a 2005 Workhorse W-Series. Now this is gonna be a quick easy upgrade that's gonna replace those factory jounce bumpers, and that way you have a little bit more steering feel, brake feel, and overall just a better driving experience. Now with our Sumos installed, you're gonna notice pretty quickly, once you lower that front down to get that axle back to normal height, that there's not a whole lot of gap under here where these Sumos are gonna rest, especially compared to our factory jounce. And that's a good thing, it's going to initiate quicker and just, there's gonna take less gap here for that sway to allow before engaging. And something else I'll point out, is if you look at the factory jounce bumpers, these are hollow inside here, I can reach my finger all the way in and I can actually, kind of, compress this with my fingers which, for a vehicle, passenger car, probably okay, but for something this heavy duty these do seem a little inadequate, and this is where those Sumos are really gonna come into play, especially when we're doing those hard turns. And when it comes to suspension, whether it be for a truck, a car, or even an RV, I think it's one of the better investments that you can do as far as upgrades on your vehicle, and that's because it's working every single time you drive it. more
