Hello Jerry, It was a pleasure meeting you at Leisure Acres RV park in GA. You recommended these Super Springs for our RV. Your video is very impressive on their performance!! I will be installing a set on our 5th wheel soon. Thank you!
Thanks Jerry! These Sumos are exactly what I think I need. The jerking on my 32ft TT from bumps and swaying are a very challenging issue for us. We installed air bags on the Truck, but that only solved part of the problem. I think these will do the trick. I ordered through your affiliate link and left comment I learned from your channel.They are Back ordered. Thanks again. I'll leave a comment after I install and have some time on them. Thank you for the vast informative information you provide. Hope to meet you some day out there.
You're amazing Jerry, in helping others understand how to take care of our investment. Rolling earthquakes are definitely what happens to our RVs when traveling. Thank you so much for sharing this product. I really enjoyed this video and all the valuable information you shared. You and Jonie stay safe out there and as always, blessings to you both. God bless!!
Super informative video Jerry. We have recently gone from north GA to the Keyes and back and found our residential refrigerator has bounced forward. We are definitively putting these springs on as soon as we can. Thanks so much, always look forward to your videos every week.
Thanks Helen. Oh the stories I could tell from the “road beating” our Gateway took. Wish I knew about the springs sooner. We’re taking steps to treat the Montana better. Safe travels.
Great video Jerry. I installed Sumo Springs on my 21 F350 dually and they work great. What’s nice about having the on your truck is the fact that they don’t apply pressure when you’re light and make the ride harsher. When you’re heavy, they really go to work. In cornering, they prevent body role.
When we contacted Super Springs, they stated the springs were first designed for ambulances. I can see how the improvements you mentioned make the ride better.
Okay Jerry. You are costing me money. Warren and I just watched your video on the Sumo Springs. This has been an ongoing debate with us on whether we go for it or not. Your video has convinced us to wait no longer. Order has been placed. Converting to Canadian dollars kind of hurt a bit though.
You know I love your video’s and you thinking is in line with my thinking but man you are costing me a lot of money… LOL. The part with the glass on the table and the laughing when you stopped was a real treat that sold me. I live in South Carolina and the roads here are in terrible shape. Oh well it’s just money but I believe it will save money in the long run. Love you man and wish you safe travels.
Thanks a bunch Charles. Sorry about hitting the checkbook, but man this stuff makes these RV trips better. Joan told me before we left, that I was cleaning up the mess when we pulled over. That was part of the laugh. From the bumps and turns I couldn’t believe the glass didn’t move on that smooth table. I snapped a rear spring hanger on the Gateway after a trip to Huntington Beach Island. I95 beat us up! Safe travels brother.
Awesome upgrade to the ride Jerry! It always makes me cringe while pulling our Cougar 5th wheel on those horrible washboard concrete roads. I need to look into these springs👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Todd. We just ran 400 miles of Interstate. Big difference. Something we didn’t expect was the deep bridge access and departure and how the SumoSprings lessened the truck movement up and down. Substantial improvement overall.
@@iLoveRVlife awesome to hear Jerry! It has to take the stress off the structure of the Rv. All the seams and joints will stay tighter and waterproof longer for sure👍🏻
I put those on the front axle of my 2022 Ford F-450 to control sway. Also have air lift air bags on the rear axle. On our 5th wheel we have the MORryde independent suspension. Working great so far.
Thanks. There’s been a noticeable improvement. The SumoSprings on the 5th wheel took most of the up and down movement experienced at the pin. The SumoCoils we added to the front end also helped. In this video starting 13:58 a video we shared the results on a trip recently on some rough Interstate ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w5HJISyhZaQ.html
Thanks. The SumoSprings are weight dependent. Assuming the yellows are the recommendation from the websites vehicle match. They are a good alternative to air bags making a softer transition vs smacking the axle bump stops. Also helps take the sag out when a trailer or 5th wheel is connected.
Jerry, both you and my dealer recommended Sumo Springs for my Grand Design 390RKR. Let me give you and your viewers a heads-up. I hear that Lippert will void and frame claims if you use Sumo Springs as suspension upgrades. Grand Design will too.
Interesting. I’ll forward this to Sumo Spring International for an opinion. Interesting that a number of RV manufacturers are now adding Sumo Springs as standard equipment.
Hi Jerry....so you've had the Summo Springs for a little while now......any update? Can you tell the difference now that you have been on multiple trips? I'm not getting my 23 Montana 3123RL until May....but Summo Springs are definitely on my list :) I think I'll also get the coil spacers for my Ram 3500 also you mentioned in another video.
Hi Dan. The SumoSprings are working great. Removed a considerable amount of shock from the inside of the 5th wheel. Plus minimizes the up and down movement felt at the pin. The SumoCoils on the F350 helped. This is still a ton truck with heavy duty springs, but the coils along with the Bilstein 4600 improved the ride.
Great video. I was in the middle of installing a set on my 2010 Eagle 321RLTS 5th wheel, when I found your video. As it turns out I also have Dexter Axles. However, the Top plate width is 5.75 in. and the max for the Sumo Springs is 4.5 in. After chatting online with a Sumo rep, they say that they do not have a kit for my Axles. Really bummed, and not sure where to look now.
That’s odd. Even with the supplied spacers they wouldn’t fit? I think whoever you spoke to is misinformed. Per SumoSprings website www.superspringsinternational.com/trailer-sumosprings/ the springs will fit the gap between the top of spring plate and bottom of the frame must be between 5.3" and 6.55". Or is the the top plate where the springs attach to the Axle?
@@iLoveRVlife the top plate of the springs. so I did get the longer bolts, and butted the end brackets together, instead of overlapping them. Hoping that the strength of the bolts and the pressure of the Sumospring will keep it in place.
Jerry I know this video is old but I’m think about doing this and wonder if you still like them. I’ve seen a few reviews that show they may have caused a frame to bend right where they hit it.
We’ve been running for 2 years. I’ve had zero frame issues using. No frame bending or flex. Only thing I can suggest concerning those reports are incorrect installations or the frames are so cheaply made they would bend overtime from poor road conditions without the Sumos. From our experience, I’ll not own a camper without SumoSprings. One other point. We have no affiliation with SumoSprings and receive no payments. I contacted them after watching their torture track video and they provided the set for us to try. I offered to purchase, stating I would not show if they didn’t work. But the video speaks for the product. They make a big difference.
Hey Jerry. Good stuff thanks. I’m assuming that you aligned the Sumo Model to your axle capacity. Mine is 7000 Lbs so would also need the larger black springs. Please confirm I’m thinking correctly. Thanks
Great video Jerry. I have only 1200lbs of capacity. Do you think it will help me. I'm sure I am at capacity now and I am afraid of breaking my leaf springs. Only needing a little extra support
Hi John. I suspect your axles are in the GAWR: 3,000 - 5,000 (lb) range. There should be a sticker on the side of your RV to verify or the axles should be marked. The blue or TS 107-40 springs fit this range. Super Springs website has a chat function to ask questions if you want to verify. We just drove 400 Interstate miles on a route we have previously traveled. It made a difference for us.
I have a vanleigh 5th wheel. 7k axles, empty at 13800 and max 16k . I am worried on overloading it. My thoughts are it would help the leaf springs. I know it wont help with loading, but maybe lessening the impact couldn't hurt.
Check out there website. www.superspringsinternational.com/ There’s a number of videos for motor homes along with testimonials from users. I read where several class c owners added SumoSprings to stop rocking and sway.
The Road Armor worked well to shift the road bumps between axles, but there was still that large upward shock of bridges and pot holes. The Road Armor didn’t do much when we ran on those uneven concrete Interstates. The SumoSprings don’t remove all the movement, but there was a substantial difference. Something else. We didn’t realize how much movement translated to the 5th wheel pin into the bed of the truck. Much improved ride. A nice surprise on our first trip.
@@iLoveRVlife thanks for the info I have been looking at both and couldn't decide which one I wanted to install I think I'm going to go with the sumo springs. We are from GA as well and when we go through SC those roads are awful. I have been watching your videos for a few years I enjoy them we have missed yall by a few days a couple of times. Again thanks safe travels maybe we will meet out there sometime
I have slipper springs, disc brakes and shocks (all part of a major upgrade to my fifth wheels suspension). Do you think sumo springs would be of any help? My truck has auto airbags, would these work there?
Hi Terry. If the slipper springs and shocks aren’t helping, I’d give the SumoSprings a try. Without the other items you mentioned, the SumoSprings made a big difference for us. We also have airbags on the F350. Most roads we run around 45 to 50lbs. If the roads getting really bad, I’ll add an additional 10lbs. We have an on board air compressor and I can control from the dash making the increase or decrease in pressure while we drive. If I didn’t have the air bags, I’s consider the SumoSprings. They make a set to replace the stops in the front end. Strongly considering adding to help manage those uneven bridge shears. I’ll let everyone know if we decide to add.
@@iLoveRVlife Thanks for the reply I’d be interested in hearing about the sumo springs on the front truck wheels. The slipper springs,shocks and disc brakes are amazing. Second only to IS. Very expensive though. I have an auto leveling air suspension on my truck so I doubt the Sumu springs would help much, unless you think otherwise. Thanks for the info.
@@SuperSpringsInternational are you replying to the wrong person? I am Terry. I have a Ram 3500 with auto leveling air bag system. Not sure Sumu springs will be of any benefit on my truck (or on my fifth wheel as it has slipper springs, shocks and disc brakes).
Let’s see. Company: Active Control. Product: ActiveStart. Extra Credit: An excellent design of a 30 Amp cable with a soft start with surge, voltage and frequency protection.
