Rear Suspension Support

Towing or hauling a heavy load can cause rear sag as your factory suspension compresses under the weight of the load. This means that the rear axle is trying to support not only the extra load but also the weight of your vehicle. And because there is less weight on your front axle, your front tires make less contact with the road, which causes problems with traction, steering, and braking. SumoSprings upgrade your vehicle's factory suspension to level your vehicle, improve driving performance, and keep your ride comfortable.


Installed spring when it is not compressed

SumoSprings provide progressive load control - the more you load them, the stiffer they become. With a lighter load, the springs will compress easily for soft engagement and a less bumpy ride. The closed-cell urethane material allows for smooth contact between the springs and your vehicle. And the springs act like a shock absorber to dampen road vibration.


Installed spring when it is compressed

The springs can also compress by as much as 80 percent to support a heavy rear load and to help your factory suspension bear up under the load. This evens out the weight, which levels your vehicle and ensures that your front tires are making better contact with the road. A level ride means that you have improved driving control, ensures safe headlight aim, and helps to minimize sway. The springs also support your factory suspension, which helps prevent sagging and reduces bottoming out.


The springs work independently from one another to support each side of your vehicle. This action helps to reduce body roll when you make a sharp turn. This also helps compensate for an off-center load.


Durable, Custom-Fit Springs

These microcellular urethane springs are tough. They resist abrasion, oil, salt, and UV rays that can more quickly wear out other springs, and they perform well in temperatures ranging from -25 F to 200 F (-33 C to 93 C).


SumoSprings compress vertically with minimum expansion to the sides, so they won't be damaged by nearby mechanical parts and they fit safely into tighter spots. And unlike air springs, SumoSprings require no maintenance or adjustment.


The helper springs are custom designed to fit your vehicle, and they install easily - no drilling required.

Video Transcript for Let’s Check Out the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs-SSR-205-54

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at these SumoSprings Rear Axle Solo Custom Helper Springs. Now, these springs are specifically designed to fit your 1996 and newer Chevrolet Express fan and GMC Savannah Van, both the 2500 and the 3500 models. And on custom fit parts such as these springs, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if these will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you.

Now, towing or hauling a heavy load can cause rear sag as your factory suspension compresses under the weight of the load. This means that the rear axle is trying to support not only the extra load, but also the weight of your vehicle. And because there is less weight on your front axle, your front tires are going to make less contact with the road, which causes problems with traction, steering and braking. So SumoSprings upgrades your vehicle factory suspension to level your vehicle, improve driving performance, and keep your ride comfortable. These 2800 pound capacity helper springs provide progressive load control, meaning the more you load them, the stiffer they become.

With the lighter load, the springs will compress easily for soft engagement and a less bumpy ride. The closed cell urethane material allows for smooth contact between the springs and your vehicle, and the springs act like a shock absorber to dampen road vibration. The springs can also compress by as much as 80% to support a heavy load, a heavy rear load, and help keep your factory suspension to bear up, to help it bear up under that load. This is going to even out the weight which levels your vehicle and ensures that your front tires are making better contact with the road. So a level ride means that you're gonna have improved driving control, it's going to ensure safe headlight aim, and help minimize sway.

These springs also support your factory suspension, which help prevent sagging and reduce bottoming out. So these springs are gonna work independently from one another to support each side of your vehicle. This action helps reduce body roll when you make a sharp turn, but this also helps compensate for off-center loads as well. These microcellular urethane springs are tough. They're gonna resist abrasion, oil, salt, and UV rays that can more quickly wear out other springs, and they perform well in temperatures ranging from negative 25 degrees Fahrenheit all the way up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit.

SumoSprings compressed vertically with minimum expansion to the sides. So what that means for you is that these are not gonna be damaged by nearby mechanical parts and they're gonna fit safely into tighter spots. And unlike Air Springs, SumoSprings require no maintenance or adjustment once you have 'em installed. These jounce style springs are made here in the USA and are custom designed, again, to fit your vehicle, and they're gonna install easily with no drilling required. Now, again, the weight capacity for these springs at 50% compression is 2800 pounds. However, I do wanna make sure that you know that SumoSprings do not actually increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity, so you wanna make sure that you're not exceeding the manufacturer's recommended weight limit for your vehicle. These do have a limited lifetime warranty. Instructions are also included to guide you through the easy installation process, and that's gonna wrap up our quick look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

  • SumoSprings Vehicle Suspension for 2016 Chevy Express Conversion Van Towing 5000 lb Boat
    In this application, the springs will be handling the downward force or tongue weight applied to the trailer hitch from the trailer. Since a trailer's tongue weight usually runs 10-15% of the trailer weight, at most that trailer is applying 750 lbs of weight to that rear axle, in addition to the weight of folks and gear in the back of the conversion van. The # SSR-205-54 have a 2800 lb capacity and the # SSR-205-47 has a 1500 lb capacity. The correct option will depend on the total weight...

  • Will SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs Work With 2015 Chevrolet Express Cutaway Van
    The SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs, part # SSR-205-54 you came from are not designed to fit the Cutaway Express Van but I do have a solution that will work for you. I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, part # TGMRG30. This system is a simple installation. You just replace the OEM bump stops on your van with the Timbrens. No drilling is required. Installation of this system does not increase the load-carrying capacity of your van. This system becomes more rigid...
