Definitely agree with stiffness. But the type you have varies from vehicle. Mines a 2020 gmc 1500 and my sumo springs is just bolt ons. Super easy to install or remove when needed, the way you wanted it. My preference is to leave it on when going off road, made a big difference when I went 40mph on bumpy dirt and gravel roads.
Excellent video. I installed Bilstein 5100 all around the front went up 2” and I installed a 1” block in the rear. Also went with 265/75R/16 Toyo tires AT3. This video made me understand why I shouldn’t go with Sumo springs in the rear meaning not to get the ones that are made for a 1”-6” rear and just get the regular ones, but I did get the ones for the front today but haven’t installed them yet. If you can please reply your opinion on it, not planning to tow anything just for some light trails and camping off the trail.
If you are not going to tow or have a lot of weight they will basically just be used as bump stops and limit roll. Shouldn't affect the ride much except during turns and hard hits. Go for it!
I’m sure I missed it somewhere. But do you have the pdf plans for the trailer you built? I have looked at so many trailers and NONE come close the quality and design of yours.
Not too bad but definitely more harsh on bumps. It would be nice to remove them for unloaded conditions. I have Bilstein 5160’s so that probably helps dampen the rebound.
It is more harsh on bigger bumps for sure. I don't tow much, but if I am going to tow a heavy load I install them, it really only takes about 5 minutes.
L-O-V-E the camera angle on the sumo spring ! Well done sir.
Thanks, hope it’s helpful
Highly recommend Sumosprings. 2006 Tundra and 2023 Tacoma
They have worked great for me so far.

Thanks for sharing
Excellent point of view
Thanks
Ok, great job! Liked what you thought at the end. Honest! Looks like a good product for tow but heavy off road, Maybe not so.
thanks
I need to do a back too ok back comparison on the same trail.

@@infosponge thanks for the reply 👍🏼
Love the video! Thanks for trying us out. Could we use some of the footage on our social accounts? We'll be sure to tag you if we use it. - Josh
Sure thing!
Take a look at the Daystar Air Bag Cradle. I have them on my gen 1 Tacoma and I love them.
Will do!
How do they do off road ?
I’m sure I missed it somewhere. But do you have the pdf plans for the trailer you built? I have looked at so many trailers and NONE come close the quality and design of yours.
None available. The trailer frame video has the frame dimensions. My 3D model is still a work in progress as I finish out the interior.
Get 2 pairs and cut 1 set 50% or so.
As for me I tow every now and then and no real off roading so it’s PERFECT for me.
Good compromise!
Would you like to compare the Archive Garage Traveler Add-a-leaf that allows full bump travel?
Sure, I'd give them a try.
@@infosponge Would you mind emailing us?
How does your truck ride when you are not towing?
Hardly notice them.
How is the ride quality when driving unloaded? I heard there is a big rebound almost like a bounce when hitting a bump. Have you experienced this?

73 lbs or 55 lbs?
Not sure what you are asking. These are the blue light/medium compound.
@@infosponge I meant torque specs. Sorry about not posting it.
@@lijianli I believe it’s 52lbs or 70nm
@@infosponge thanks
