Let\u2019s be honest, people are overloading their vehicles. Maybe you\u2019re wondering how much SumoSprings can compress and what, if any, impact there might be if you are overloading your SumoSprings. This article will explain what we suggest for compressing each of the SumoSprings densities and why that\u2019s important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much can my SumoSprings compress?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\\’s important to remember that SumoSprings are not a primary suspension solution. They\u2019ve been designed and engineered to work in concert with your factory suspension. With that, each density and type of SumoSpring should also only be compressed to a specific percentage of its original height. For blue SumoSprings, that\u2019s 70% – for black SumoSprings, it\u2019s 60% – and for yellow SumoSprings, it\u2019s 55%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens if I overload my SumoSprings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, for example, if you have a blue 5 inch spring, the maximum recommended compression would be 70% \u2014 or compressed 3 inches. This will allow the spring to rebound fully with no impact on its structure. Overloading them beyond these ratings could potentially cause internal damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you overloading your SumoSprings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you see that your SumoSprings are compressing more than the recommended percentages, give us a call so we can help you look at alternative solutions. There are times when you may need a different density or type of SumoSpring<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
