Added Suspension Support

I installed these on my 2019 F-150. The only problem with installation is that the hole you use to tighten the bolts faces the inside of the car, making it difficult to see what you're doing. Other than that, they were pretty easy to install.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Non Automatic

much more stable in corners

I love how these SumoSprings keep the truck on track in corners. Also, I tow a trailer and like the extra suspension support when needed. I set them where they touch the axle when the load is on the truck or when there is a big bump.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • will add later

Great addition! for spares

I had a couple of these on my 2015 F150 and loved them so had to buy them again one day when upgrading to a 2017 F150. I tow a camper with my truck quite often and they really reduce truck bounce and make the ride a lot smoother! They also eliminated any possible flex I had prior to installation.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Requires socket

Quick and easy installation. They do their job well

Easy install, didn't even have to lift my 2010 F150. After a short ride after installation, I could tell a difference in tight corners. The truck didn't lean into the hallway, it just rounded the corner. I look forward to seeing how they handle towing a £10,000 trailer. I would give them five stars but I haven't used them enough to rate them that highly.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Huge improvement - buy it now!

Fits F150 2010 4WD. Very easy to install. Each setup will be a little different, but with the shim installed I have about 1/8 inch clearance above the axle. Without a trailer I noticed a small difference. Feels stronger in good corners. The first trip with our caravan was better day and night. The ride is much smoother. This removed almost all of the jump from the ride. Very impressive. I'm so impressed I'm ordering Sumo Springs for our trailer too.

Pros
  • Heavy duty construction
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Not suitable for F-150

Installation was very easy. The instructions are very simple. However, this product was not designed to properly fit the F-150. On other trucks, the sumo spring has a flat surface to hit. On the F-150 it hits the round axle tube. Flat to round is wrong, the polly spring needs to have a crescent adapter so it can act evenly on the axle tube. Looks like it will fit my Tacoma perfectly no matter the cost. I updated this review because the product works.

Pros
  • Reduces and stabilizes wobble
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

works well. increases stability

2018 Ford f 150 2wd. put them on today and they arrive without spacers on the rear axle which affects the relief a bit on the right but I like it. Improved lateral stability in turns. It's more like the rear end is halfway between 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton. I would never use this on my 2WD 1/2 ton with a spacer. This negatively affects the balance of the front and rear suspension. The modern 1/2 ton tries to be both grocery delivery and tow trailer. So if you do both, you'll definitely want them on…

Pros
  • maintenance free
Cons
  • transparency

BUT THAT! Better than airbags

Very easy assembly with 2 screws each. 1 screw into the existing hole that held the fender. Others in the product itself. Great feeling as it works like a spring and yields first. 1k lb is perfect for my cab over RV. It weighed about 1400 pounds when first tested and now it's down to about 1100 and I think it will ride just like the series with the weight loaded. I have a 4x4 4x4 and I didn't use a spacer so there is a 1 or 1.5 inch gap before it fires so you can feel the shaft actuate as you…

Pros
  • Sold as a pair (left and right)
Cons
  • Protection
