adding sumo springs

Wondering if anyone has added the Sumo Springs to their coach. Has it helped and where did you purchase?
  • Put them in our 2008 Sightseer (F53) a few years ago. They helped some with ride and the sway due to wind and trucks. It's still a hard riding chassis though.
  • I tried Sumo springs on the front of my '99 and couldn't notice any difference in ride or handling. They graciously took them back and refunded my $$.
  • What are you trying to improve?

    Betweeen Sumo and Timbrens, hands down I would pick SumoSprings. They are foam-filled, vs the solid rubber TImrens, and that will result in a better ride. That is why all the OEMs have switched to foam-filled bumpstops.
  • Sumo or Timbren will work, but check if you have a front track bar. It may be in the road for the supplemental system.

    I was told by the dealer that they can be installed on a 2014
