SUMMO SPRINGS added...Your Experiences

My 2012 F350 4x4 Supercab has lots of suspension upgrades and does a very good job of hauling my 2011 Eagle Cap 950.....the front end, even though I have added the extra heavy-duty front sway bar and Rancho 9000 shocks never seems solid instead seems to dive into bumps pretty harshly.
So yesterday I added 1500 pound rated SUMO Springs front axle bumpers. The puny yellow FORD MoCo bumpers are gone now and when inspected look as if they have never contacted the Axle.

I won't be on the road with the Truck and Camper for at least another month.

I am very curious what others might have so say experience-wise with SUMO SPRINGS????

Look forward to hearing from you all.

    I had them on my Tacoma Off Road & was pleased with them. I don't need them for my current combination.

    Shawn,
    Thanks for the positive comments on SUMO Springs for the rear. I have Timbren SES on the Rear essentially the same as SUMO. I didn't know about SUMO Springs back in 2012 when I installed the Hellwig Big Wigs Front and Rear at the same time I installed the Timbren's in the rear. I had Air Bags on the previous two trucks...Never again!!!! I am anxious to see how the SUMO's in front work out.

    Thanks Again,
    GARY

    Have you weighed the front and back axles fully loaded?

    We have had Sumo springs on the rear of our 2013 F350 crew cab for years. Been very pleased - way better than air bags IMHO. The Igloo puts us right at our GVWR when loaded and the Sumo springs pick up the sag so we ride level. Added a Hellwig Big Wig sway bar and we go down the road not only level but with no sway either.
