SumoSprings Solo Front Helper Springs Installation - 2022 Forest River Forester Motorhome

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today we're taking a look at installing the SumoSprings Front Helper Springs on a 2022 Forest River Forester. Suspension enhancement is something that a lot of people overlook, but as you're out on the road, especially in a Sprinter, you probably notice they're a little bit top heavy feeling, and sometimes that translates to when you're driving it, it just doesn't feel as planted because it's leaning. And so cutting down on that sway while driving is really gonna just give you a little bit more confidence in your steering, your braking, and just less sway back and forth. So whether it's a gust of wind from a semi or if you're in heavy torrential rain, whatever it may be, feeling more planted and really being connected with the road a little bit more and reducing that body sway is really gonna just make a better overall driving experience every time you use it. And that's the great part about these is once they're installed, there's no maintenance. They're already ready to go, and these are super easy to get in place. more

Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at eTrailer and today we're taking a look at installing the SumoSprings Rear Helper Springs on the 2022 Forest River Forester. Adding suspension enhancements to any sprinter, whether it be an RV or a cargo sprinter, is gonna be a huge upgrade. I've driven a sprinter plenty of times out on the road and it feels very top heavy whether you're turning or just getting side gusts. Either way, there's a lot of sway and if you can minimize that, it's just gonna make for a better driving experience. You're gonna get better feel in the steering wheel, better braking, and just overall a better ride for you and either the people riding with you or the components of your vehicle inside of there. Also, adding some suspension enhancement is going to prolong the lifespan of the suspension that's on there from the factory because it's not allowing it to sag all the way down and kind of at a range where that suspension can't do the work. more

Hi there, Forest River owners. Today, on your 2018 Forest River FR3, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install SumoSprings for the rear axle. And this is what our SumoSpring looks like when it's installed. Our SumoSprings are designed to provide additional support for the weight of your motor home and to also help smooth out the ride quality and reduce sway. It does this by placing our dampener here in between the frame on the bracket here and our axle on the bracket here, sitting on top of the leaf stack. These springs can compress up to 80%, providing you with support throughout the suspension travel. more

Hi there, Forest River owners today in your 2018 forest river FR3, we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install Sumo Springs for the front axle. And this is what our Sumo Spring looks like when it's installed. This is a split Sumo Spring, so, you get unlimited suspension travel that's important for our front axle here 'cause our front axle's kind of our leading axle. It's gonna be what hits all the potholes and stuff first and that axle needs to be able to dip down and come back up without pulling our motor home down with it, so, that's why we need it to be split. It gives us an improved ride quality over what we had before by helping to support some of the weight of the vehicle. In addition to our regular suspension. more

Rob: Rob here at etrailer.com, and today you're going to get a really good look at, and see how to install, the SumoSprings Front Rebel Helper Springs on our 2018 Forest River Georgetown motorhome. Now, whether you're new to driving a motorhome or you've been doing it for a while, you'll realize real quickly how unstable they feel and just how much body roll and uncomfortable the ride is. Because when we're going down the highway, let's face it, there's a lot of area here for that wind to catch and we end up getting pushed around. So we end up fighting the steering wheel, trying to stay in our lane, or if we're going down some bumpy roads, we end up getting jostled around. By the time we get where we're going, we're extremely tired. Not to mention, everybody in the back's getting tossed around. more

They're going to make sure that the body doesn't roll as much and it's going to keep it more stable, making it so we can be more confident, have a comfortable ride getting down the road.So here's what our helper springs look like once we have them installed. more
