Someone recommended Yellow Sumo Springs to me and I really like them. Easy to install and no maintenance. My 295rl has no squat and tows easily.



Can’t figure out how to post a picture or I would.

Mod note: Moved to new thread.

Welcome to the MOC.
Sumo springs are an easy install. I'm sure Lee will chime in as he has them on his rig.

Di you put the springs on the truck or trailer?

On the truck, back tires only. Takes less than an hour to install and no maintenance. I was about to get air bags, decided to try these first, very happy with them. Drives normal when not towing.

Welcome. I put Timbren's on my truck some time ago. Similar product to the Sumo Springs. I had been looking at air bags, but decided to go this route as there is no maintenance involved. You'll love having the Sumo Springs.

I installed Timbren's on my F450 a year ago. Squat reduced to one inch vs four inches pre-Timbren. Now considering Timbren independent suspension for the trailer.

I installed Timbren’s on my 2020 Sierra 2500 and it really eliminated the squat and makes the ride much nicer.

Truck and trailer look great!
