Class A – Ford F53 (16,000 – 22,000 GVWR*)

Product Description

SumoSprings complement the original factory suspension generating a smoother ride in your coach. Our variable rate springs improve load carrying capacity and due to their proprietary material, function much like a shock absorber by insulating the “banging and jarring” effect resulting from impact with pot-holes, road expansion joints, uneven road surfaces, bridge on-ramps etc. Additionally, their constant engagement will reduce the amount of side-to-side body roll in your coach resulting in greater stability.

Sumo Front ClassA FordF53Product Description

All SumoSprings utilize patented closed cell microcellular urethane formulated with exclusive additives. The resulting combination of proprietary raw material and engineered design produces a graduated spring rate curve, resulting in progressive compression under load and variable road conditions.

The SumoSprings are secured as part of the suspension system via steel brackets to the frame rail above and the factory leaf springs below.  This effectively eliminate the factory bump stops and fills this void with closed cell microcellular urethane that will compress up to 80% in height under load and will “stretch” up to 50% under expansion.  This unique material pliability coupled with the progressive spring rate design is responsible for the huge improvement in ride comfort and stability.

Additionally, the material is extremely durable with excellent abrasion and cut resistance and performs in temperatures ranging from -25°F (-32°C) to 200°F (93°C).

NOTE: For temperatures consistently below 14°F (-10°C), use our "Cold Weather" SumoSprings
