Sumo Springs to replace air bags
Hi Guys, I am considering replacing the stock air bags (which bleed down/leak) with Sumo springs on my 2020 Ford 450 chassis Leprechaun Class C. Rumor is the Sumo springs make the rig more ...

They usually leak at fittings, but the problem is rarely the fittings. They almost alway leak because the installer used side-cutters to cut the tubing, when a sharp straight-blade is required, so that the tube doesn't crush when it's being cut. I suspect slightly trimming the tubing at the fittings will resolve the leaks.
That said... I really like my Sumos. But I retained my airbags. The Sumos on the rear of the E350/450 replace the factory bump stop, so you can retain outboard airbags even with the Sumos installed. I have the black ones, but if I didn't also have airbags, I'd need the stiffer ones.
