SumoSpring Kit Recommendation for Overlanding 2018 Toyota 4Runner

Question

Question:

For the Sumo springs bump stop is there a tool or method to calculate or estimate what you need? I concerned about getting something too firm or too soft. I know your Sumo springs are progressive. But having a hard time deciding between blue-1400lbs and black-1800lbs. This 2018 Toyota 4Runner is my daily driver plus my Overland vehicle. I also will be installing ARB OME BP-51 package with upper control arms.

Between the 1,400 lb SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS68DR and the 1,800 lb Kit # SS78DR I recommend going with the 1,800 lb kit. These won't affect your daily drive but will offer the support you need when you are going Overlanding. If you were only using your 2018 Toyota 4Runner as a daily driver I'd say stick with the 1,400 lb kit since there isn't really a need for the extra support.

I would recommend verifying with Toyota or your owners manual but it appears your 2004 Toyota Sequoia has a tongue weight capacity that would be able to handle the weight of your motorcycle and carrier as-is. A new hitch wouldn't be needed. I…

For your 2023 Lexus GX460 that'll be towing a 19' travel trailer with around 500lbs of tongue weight I recommend going with the SumoSprings #SS78DR with an 1,800lb capacity. SumoSprings compress a bit before they really start to get stiffer…

For sag from towing a trailer the best recommendation I can make is actually a weight distribution system. Suspension enhancement will help level your truck while towing. But the advantage to a weight distribution system is that it levels the vehicle…

Answer 10

Hey Dan, The info you provided does tell us a bit about the axle but isn't enough to look up what components go with with it. With it being a 3,500lb axle it's probably a generic 3,500lb kit for the bearings and seals but I'd hate to not…

Hey Mike, I believe you are asking about the height of just the blue spring of the part ##SS68DR SSR-623-40 which is 4 inches. Otherwise it sounds like you are asking about the distance from the top of the mounting bracket to the bottom of the spring…
