Summo vs bags for me?

Been looking at all the suspension threads but it’s a bit overwhelming. I have a 22’ trailer and when loaded up I get a little sag. I also have a blue ox WDH.

I was thinking of Firestone bags and daystar cradles but today I heard of summo springs as a possible simple solution vs dealing with air leaks etc etc

Other than the occasional camping trip, bed stays pretty much empty.

Your thoughts.

TIA.

 

Go it right, air bags.

 

I debated between those two and after weeks of reading reviews I bought the roadmaster active suspension instead. Best of both worlds.

 

roadmaster seems awfully complicated from pictures I’ve just seen.

 

Its a lot less complicated than an airbag install, for sure.

 

those are not an alternative to sumos, unless you are just choosing bumpstops over sumos. the timbrens are not for supporting additional load.

 

There's nothing wrong with Sumos.

 

I just need it to pickup about an inch to inch half of sag when trailering.

 

Sumos can do it. So can bags lol.

 

Go sumosprings then

 

Watched a vid and it looks simple enough.

 

I tow fairly often and I've always avoided the "bump-stop" style of devices in favor of airbags but they bring their own issues so its really a case of YMMV.

Ive really wanted to try the devices that engage the overload springs right away like these:https://www.etrailer.com/Vehicle-Suspension/TorkLift/TLA7310S.html

 

Yep. Doing the Sumos. Worst case I’ll throw a set of Roadmasters on there as well.

 

Let me add another variable into this situation.
There are two different heights of Sumo Springs that fit the 3rd Gen. The 610- series and the 612- series.
The 610- series will allow less squat under equivalent loads than the 612- series. The trade-off is the 610 series will ride firmer as it will touch the frame before the 612 series. I suggest calling them and speak with a live person. You can order direct and the price is same as Amazon. Top notch customer service. www.supersprings.com

FWIW I purchased the 610-40 set as I don't mind a firmer ride. My first truck was a 56 Ford pickup that literally "rode like a truck...". I don't want any squat when my camper shell ever gets here...

 

I went with Sumos springs 4 years ago, they and not bad, not the best but once there on you don't ever touch them, so that's a plus.

 

I'd do sumo in your scenario, and if it doesn't work, sell them and pick up airbags.

I personally like sumos for occasional towing, and airbags for more constant load scenarios.
