Front Sumos Super Thread

Glad you enjoy them dude! First thing I noticed was how small vibrations dont transfer into the steering wheel as much after the install.

 

Are these worth double the price as the others on the market?

 

I can't speak about the competition as I only went from stock bumps to these. I will say these made a huge difference in the way the front feels after.

 

These bumps seem to work pretty well overall. Haven't done any really hard driving on them as of yet but driving around town, city streets, gravel, etc., they seem to do OK but I'll need more time w/ them to make a full assessment. Since mine don't touch unless the suspension is compressed, I'm not getting the "every small vibration is soaked up" feeling that folks are likely to get when the bump is touching the UCA full-time, but harder hits are soaked up better. Time will tell whether this is an issue or not, but there's a lot of stuff the suspension would mostly soak up before getting the stock bump and now I can feel that contact, albeit plush, which isn't surprising at all but will take some getting used to.

Body roll is practically eliminated. Most body roll was taken care of when I swapped OR to Pro shocks and with these added there's hardly ANY body roll taking corners at speed.

They work as intended, I wouldn't say they are magic by any means if you have a good suspension setup already. Had I thrown these on when I still had my stock OR shocks on, I have no doubt it would be night/day just like OP, however.

this weekend I'll be on some trails and will report back!

 

My set was delivered today. I’ll put these on Friday. Maybe I’ll record the drive after.

 

Good thing I have one of those too! It was a few pages back. I’ll try and remember to take a measurement of the space between the stock and Sumosprings. I’ll also post the current height of my lift for reference as well.

 

Just ordered a front pair this morning

 

Awesome news. Looks like they replenished the sold out stock quick!

 

Bit more driving, still none off-road, but these are growing on me. The lack of ANY real body roll is an adjustment for sure, but control is definitely improved as a result. Bigger impacts (speed bumps, potholes, etc.,) are clearly deadened quite a bit by these. I can tell when they are absorbing some of the shock as I feel almost a "shimmy" through the frame instead of a clunk/hit as the shocks and bumps work together. While I like them, for those reading, it seems the best use case for these would be for folks who can't or don't want to replace stock or aging/sagging suspension OR for longer travel applications.

 

How long did it take for them to ship?

 

I ordered mine on Sat. evening and they shipped out Tues. Now I'm waiting on Fedex. They were shipped out of Ca. and I'm in Va.

 

Only a day or two from when I order to shipping. Took 5 days to get it counting the weekend.

 

Yea I wouldn't worry. It will more than likely show up on the promised date with a huge gap in tracking.

 

Same here, 2 day shipping and Fedex says delivery today. Still nothing, and this is why I hate Fedex!!!!!

 

Last year, UPS lost a left pack that was shipped to me from Ironman…

 

I will agree will everything said. Just installed them on my stock suspension 17 OR and the reduction in body roll is amazing. Brake dive has also been improved. If you want to improve your stock OR suspension without new springs and shocks I would suggest these. I also have the rear sumos so I’m a little biased.

 

Did it help fix the taco lean ?

 

For me it helped.

 

Been following this thread the past few days, finally pulled the trigger and ordered a set Tuesday night and they arrived Thursday afternoon. I was going to wait until Saturday morning to install, but couldn’t wait and put them on Thursday night. Install was straightforward, extra large channel locks is a must, and definitely a jack to raise the truck. Took it for a test drive, and really couldn’t notice a difference, yet. My truck is pretty stock, one inch spacer lift in the front and larger tires. Hoping my commute to work tomorrow I’ll see a noticeable difference.

 

Interesting results. I find they seem to work best if they are touching the LCA
