Sumosprings for stock and lifted 2nd gens

That's my thought process too, thanks for the reply appreciate it

 

I've put over 1500lb in the bed without to much sag, the front end was a bit lite tho heh, maybe it was more like 2000lbs idk lol

 

I'm planning on installing some fox 2.0 and a 2" Spacer (17.57"compressed 29.82"extended meant for a 3-4" lift) . I currently have 3 leaf aal in the rear. I need some help figuring out if the 1500# sumos would suffice as bump stops to stop bottoming out on the trails. I sit at 23 1/2" from center of wheel to fender. I have a leer cap ~200lbs and usually carry about another 150-200lbs and will be adding 140lbs worth of skids soon. Just don't want to wreck my new shocks.

 

I will have to check my center of wheel to fender measurements but I think the Sumos will work for you as the bump stops. The stock bump stops are about 3" and the Sumos are a total of 6". I'm sure you'll have a gap from the sumos to the frame which is perfect because having the sumos sit on the frame will give you a rough stiff ride.

 

Do the bumps separate from the mount?
I have a U-Bolt flip and I am looking for these bumps as when I as loaded I need the spring help, however, I need them to allow a bolt to thread in from the bottom center.

 

They are threaded and screw onto a post on their mounting bracket. They can be removed very easily.

 

Here is my Low range off road flip kit the Sumo's were drop shipped so not from Low Range but only 4 ribs. BTW my truck has no lift in this pic but when sitting on all 4's the Sumo's were about 1/16" from the stops....

 

If you install Sumos, you won't bottom out your shocks. You can still over extend them.

 

Would the over extension not be limited to the droop of the leafs?

 

Yea, should be to the droop of the leaf pack and shackles, but I'm not sure how the the spacer fits in to the measurements.

 

My center hub to fender measurement in the rear is 22.5" so you will have about an inch of space before the sumos contact the frame with your set up.

 

I just mounted these up, I had brackets from my SuperBumps and used with the sumo springs and they work perfectly!

 

On another note. I noticed that my truck was handling weird when I had a load in the bed at highway speed so i checked all my suspension for loose parts and found nothing unusual except for my sumospring on the driver’s side.











So I contacted Supersprings and they told me they had never had a problem like this. The gentleman I spoke with was Ryan and he showed my images to the engineering team. They requested that i send it in to them, so i asked if they would send me a new one first. Not a problem they said! And sent it out the next day. I got it and installed it today. For those who may be wondering, my passenger side one looks almost as good as this new one that they just sent me....so i’m not sure what happened. Either way. Truck feels fine now, and this company went above and beyond to make this right.

 

I should also note that Supersprings now offers three models,

1000lb (blue)

$280 SSR-610-40 | SumoSprings Rear for Toyota Tundra, Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, Nissan Titan

SSR-610-40
1500lb (black)

$309 SSR-610-47 | SumoSprings Rear for Toyota Tundra, Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, Nissan Titan

SSR-610-47
2800lb (yellow) SSR-610-54

 

I am currently running a 1/2" spacer up front that I used to level the truck. I also now have a camper shell on the back of the truck and the truck now sits nose high. Any ideas if the sumo springs

$280 SSR-610-40 | SumoSprings Rear for Toyota Tundra, Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, Nissan Titan

SSR-610-40 will level the truck back out? I measured between the frame and leaf pack and it looks like there needs to be about 6.75 inches between them to have the truck level. Thanks for the help.

 

it should, although you might want to go with the heavier duty bumps, the black ones, I think the blue ones are light duty.

I run the black ones and for daily driving with truck unloaded it feels fine, and no longer do I squat when loaded up for camping!

 

I think they would help for sure

Workout good offroad for me check it out

 

UPDATE ON THIS ISSUE:

The replacement that they sent me is still holding up decent, however, the passenger side sumospring has now fallen apart. I’m not sure if i want to contact them about it or just order a whole new set and start over. I think they’ve done fine in the almost 5 years and 50k hard miles that i have put on them. I’d still recommend them

 

Any guess on why they tear up on passenger side? I would think they are just hitting the frame and assume it's a flat surface. Got me curious as I seen a review on Amazon but was far worse.
