You\u2019re here because you want to know if upgrading your transit van\u2019s suspension with SumoSprings is worth it. If that\u2019s the case, check out our complete SumoSprings review below where we discuss our experience with this product after 3 years on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll talk about what exactly SumoSprings are, how they help your suspension, and critical things to know before you\u2019re ready to purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPOILER ALERT:<\/strong> SumoSprings are 100% worth it. SumoSprings drastically smooth out your ride, reduce sway, and give you more control as you drive on uneven terrain. For the price you pay, they provide fantastic value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Comparing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What are SumoSprings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SumoSprings are essentially oversized bump stops<\/a> that replace your vehicle\u2019s factory bump stops. Above is a size comparison between the old bump stop (brown<\/strong>) and the SumoSpring replacement (yellow<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, SumoSprings are over twice the size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there is more to SumoSprings than simply their size. Where bump stops exist to prevent dangerous impact between a vehicle\u2019s main body and its chassis, SumoSprings also improve the vehicle\u2019s overall suspension and ride quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How SumoSprings Improve Suspension<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most vans aren\u2019t manufactured with the intent that they\u2019ll be converted into a heavy RV and driven off-road. So you might find that your vehicle\u2019s factory suspension system just can\u2019t effectively support the van\u2019s heavy payload and provide the smooth and stable ride you expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where SumoSprings come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Absorbing Bumps, Shocks, & Sways Earlier<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"SumoSprings<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When you replace a factory bump stop with a SumoSpring, you\u2019ll notice that there\u2019s less air space between the vehicle\u2019s body frame (top) and its chassis (bottom).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see this example in the above picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exact distances will vary.<\/strong> Depending on the vehicle type and overall weight. In fact, SumoSprings are purposefully engineered to come into contact much sooner than a factory bump stop. This is so that the SumoSpring can begin to absorb the impact from the chassis earlier than a traditional bump stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result of this effect is a vehicle that experiences:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
