excellent explanation

I think you got a size or a couple of sizes too large. They should not be that difficult to install. Also, you wet them or spray them down with soapy water as well as doing the spring, they go in much easier.

I know this is old video, but for those who are looking at buying these like I am, if you want to make this both easier and do it right, you have to get the right size. Everything he does here is unnecessary if you measure properly. From the manufacturer: "Take the measurement with the vehicle as it sits. You do not need to raise it." Meaning there is compression on it when you measure the coil gap and select the size. It is NOT the distance when extended. I haven't been working on cars for 40 years, but I can follow directions.

Thanks for the video, I was having so much trouble fitting them,I gave up to find a a video that makes sense..So thanks U so much from Brisbane,Australia 👍

Dose it lift the vehicle any I’m trying to see if I can add a little lift easily on my f100

Does this help the ride though or just for towing

You should heat them up in the oven first. Dish soap is your friend or spray 100% IPA to make it slippery.

40yrs turning wrenches and you never heard of spring compressor?

It’s like that so it doesn’t come out.

How Mutch lift you got ?

Way better than anything else I've seen on the webs! Thank you.

They play that song everyday at sunset at Jimmy Crows nest in Clearwater Fl with free shots for all lol

Hello, nice video. My 06 navigator head dips lower after I convert the air suspension to coil springs. Would this little thing raise my front higher? to make the car leveled at least? thanks

I'm under the impression these are supposed to go in the middle of the spring where there would be the largest distance between the rings of the spring and the greatest about of movement under normal conditions...

Shit, I was looking for something easier than replacing my coils this winter, this is harder than swapping the coil out, I can loosen the shock, jack up the van, unbolt the locking tab and out it comes. I'm afraid my new tires are going to rub due to the coils being old, broken down, maybe the aluminum twist in spacers will work.

Just what I needed to see. Thank you for this Chuck. From the UK.

What a cluster fuck

Thanks so much

Excellent job at least you got it done

does anybody know part number trying to get a set for my expedition

$100 for a shop to install. Seems well worth the money

Thanks for share the video I just install the booster springs in my expedition and they work great for my heavy trailer I just wanna say thanks my friend

so it holds after a ruff driving here n there

Nice job showing how to install the booster spacers which I am going to do with my car for clearance! Thanks !!!

I installed these & got scraping/knocking front end noise over bumps. Did u? Uninstalling...

That sux that you dont have a solid rear axle on the back....too much maintenance!

Finally found a video of these in English

How much of a lift did this give you? Wish you would have shown a before and after.

Your the man sir...thumbs up for you..not just a tip how to installed it ..u just simply teach how to do it much easier ..salute to you..very helpfull ..

What if you would have taken the bolt from the bottom of the strut and let it fully extend? Bc I doubt it fully extended still attached to the axle?

Which sumo model number you are using?

Good vid 👍🏼 Sumo Springs needs to pay you for this vid

Remove the bottom bolt of the shock. You will get the spring to extend a bit more

Thank you for the clear install video and explaining all the different issues. I currently use my truck to pull a 20' dual axle car hauler with a f150 on it. How do this hold up to significant weight?

very helpful, sir. thank you! i just got these for my 2008 Expedition because i have a large trailer. towing without made is squat so much that i was getting 'flashed' like i was running high beams.

Hello Chuck. Appreciate the video. What size did you get for your expedition? 1168 or 1125 or something different? Thanks again.

Do you have the part number?

Great video but the music is so annoying

Hi... we watched your video here in Brazil. This you cut that has the thickest appears what the value bought there in your country. I would like a yoke to for my srw4 hilux from toyota year 97. Can you tell me. Send the brand data if possible. Already grateful. Rubens

Thank you sir i have a good 3 hours invested as it stands......you shouuld get paid by the manufacturer for this tutorial👍 i apreciate the help great video

FINALLY! A helpful video, oh man I feel your pain! My Expedition was a real PIA! I trimmed one of the front corner channels to get it started and forced the sumo in with clamps and cussing. Ended up one lower than the other, so tight it wont spin up to the center. I will use your method removing sway bar to spin ip to match the passenger side. Thank you SO much. I wish I saw ‘this video sooner!

chuck does give a inch lift or 2 inch?

Its very easy if you put first down parts then the upper one 10mins. I install to my bmw e36

Hello Chuck, Just ordered a set of the SumoSprings for my 2007 Expedition. Did you leave them on permanently, and if so, how is the ride without something in tow? Thank you so much for the very informative video 👍 Brad

WOW I can't believe you said it was cheaper for these than getting new springs. These things are expensive as gold. It is just a piece of rubber. I bought a lift kit for front and rear for less than this. I never thought a piece of rubber could be so expensive. I checked the auto parts store, and a set of Heavy duty Springs with Shocks for the rear of my expedition is $250.00 - these pieces of rubber cost more than 200.00, unless you go with China, and they are still nearly 150.00... I don't know if I have said it yet - But MERCY these things are expensive ;)...

Great video! Gonna do a smaller set on my ranger for a little lift!

In malaysia. I fixed this buffer on my camry2010. 4pcs,price RM120 only. The forman fix this very easily. Never loosen any other stuffs. Never use any tools or soapy water. He just jack up the car, fix this buffer on the coils. Each buffer fixing took around 20seconds only. I wonder why this dude having a hardtime fixing it. The purpose of this buffer is to prolong the life of the absorser. When we hit any road hump hardly, the buffer will stop the coil cruncy, and the absorber will not fully retract. We save money on absorber changing with this rescue buffers. Cheers...

Maybe this will help you next time kzbin.info/www/bejne/iarahnWbjr2LjpI

What r these used for?

that's not a control arm, mr. forty years mechanic. that is the tie rod.
