Your suspension does a lot more than just keep your ride smooth—it affects how your vehicle handles, how well it tows, and even how long your tires and other components last. If you’ve been dealing with sag, sway, or a bumpy ride, it’s probably time to upgrade.
But with so many options out there, how do you know which suspension upgrade is right for you? Let’s break it down in plain English so you can make the best decision for your setup.
Step 1: Identify Your Suspension Problem
Before upgrading, you need to figure out what your actual suspension issue is. Here are some common signs and what they mean:
- Rear-end sagging? Your suspension is struggling under load.
- Too much sway in crosswinds or turns? Your vehicle needs better stability.
- Rough, bouncy ride? Your suspension isn’t absorbing road shock properly.
- Towing feels unstable? Your weight distribution needs help.
Once you know what’s wrong, you can focus on the right solution.
Step 2: Know Your Upgrade Options
Not all suspension upgrades work the same way. Here’s a quick rundown of the most common options:
1. Helper Springs (Best for Load Support & Stability)
Helper springs, like SuperSprings®, attach to your existing leaf springs and automatically adjust to your load. They:
✔ Reduce sag and improve weight distribution
✔ Minimize sway and body roll
✔ Require no maintenance—just install and go
For truck owners, RVers, and fleet vehicles that carry varying loads, SuperSprings are the ultimate “set it and forget it” solution.
2. SumoSprings® (Best for Smoothing Out the Ride)
Made from microcellular polyurethane, SumoSprings® act like an airbag alternative—without the hassle. They:
✔ Provide progressive support (soft under light loads, firmer under heavy loads)
✔ Reduce harshness from bumps and vibrations
✔ Require zero maintenance (no airlines, no compressors)
If you want to improve ride comfort while reducing sag and sway, SumoSprings are an easy and effective solution.
3. SuperCoils® (Best for Heavy-Duty Front-End Support)
If your front suspension struggles under weight from a plow, winch, or diesel engine, SuperCoils® can help. These heavy-duty coil springs:
✔ Provide extra front-end support
✔ Improve handling under heavy loads
✔ Reduce nose dive when braking
Perfect for work trucks and heavy-duty applications where stock suspension isn’t cutting it.
Step 3: Match the Upgrade to Your Needs
Here’s a quick guide to help you choose:
| Suspension Issue | Best Upgrade |
|---|---|
| Rear sag when towing or hauling | SuperSprings or SumoSprings |
| Excessive sway or instability | SuperSprings or SumoSprings |
| Rough ride over bumps and potholes | SumoSprings |
| Heavy front-end weight (winch, plow, diesel) | SuperCoils |
| Towing feels unbalanced or unstable | SuperSprings |
Still not sure? Think about how you use your vehicle the most.
- If you tow and haul regularly, go with SuperSprings for extra support.
- If you want a smoother, more controlled ride, SumoSprings are a game-changer.
- If you need front-end support for a plow or heavy-duty setup, SuperCoils are the way to go.
