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

[@neckbone4941]

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

[@Mountain-Man-3000]

Thumbs up for actually showing the installation.

[@Russteevee]

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!

Mr. Chuck, Sir, u r the man

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?

Thank you..

[@JPThompson123]

Does the control arm need to be torqued down to a specific weight?

[@erichrebeniuk-anderson10]

Thank you.

[@aumnamahshivaya7588]

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...

[@jamesh6922]

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

[@AngelTorres-se9zf]

Hello Chuck, Hope all is well. I own a 2015 Expedition and wish i could see a before and after with a heavy trailer. I am pulling a camper and with the weight distribution hitch it still squats in the back. I wish I could see what the difference it would make after installation of the SumoSpring helper.

[@chuckraybon5780]

I installed these on my son's vehicle because they had purchased a travel trailer and was in the same problem as you. Once I installed the SumoSpring helpers his Expedition rode level and and his steering and braking felt more secure. He also said that the ride was firmer when he wasn't towing, 'like a new car ride'. Because of the increased ride height on the car, the tongue of the trailer will need to be higher so get a tall block for the trailer jack.

[@JMRRebuilders]

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?

[@smuook1969]

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.

[@Downiemore]

Thanks so much

[@CCMCJONESEK]

Hey Chuck thanks for the video. Any update on how they work? Any review on them? Did u get front and rear?

[@chuckraybon5780]

Thanks for watching. I installed only the rear, and they worked great when towing and when not towing the ride felt like a new vehicle.

[@MHTownsend57]

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

[@Reflections2013]

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 ;)...

[@chuckraybon5780]

The coil spring helpers that I installed on his vehicle were factory direct and cost a total of $170. That was with taxes and shipping.

[@DavidHill-io8kt]

Autozone has them for 8 bucks a pop!

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

[@shanepipkin4041]

Please tell me also

[@chaiyya345]

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

[@bowman4502]

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...

[@artguzman9916]

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

[@Maples01]

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.

[@flexable222]

so it holds after a ruff driving here n there

[@jeepercreepers54]

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

[@califhvac1]

Which sumo model number you are using?

[@bradh4734]

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

[@chuckraybon5780]

Thanks for watching and for the comments. I put them on my son's vehicle permanently. He said that the ride felt like the vehicle was new.

[@chuckraybon5780]

We left them on permanently and the ride is like a new vehicle.

[@ChefDuane]

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.

[@big-patria-lo3508]

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

[@williamtaylor9025]

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

[@ericeric4774]

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

[@elchabotube]

chuck does give a inch lift or 2 inch?

[@chuckraybon5780]

I didn't measure but it seemed more like 2". We did it to improve the ride while towing a camper trailer, and it did.

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

[@chuckraybon5780]

You do realize Spring compressors closed the gap between the coils, don't you? Please get the alarm for 10 years while I live.

[@bthompson1767]

What r these used for?

[@chuckraybon5780]

suspension assist devise. I installed them on my son's vehicle to assist in suspension support for towing their travel trailer. His suspension was pretty tired after 150,000 miles and rather then install a new suspension system I installed these, which gave him the feel of a new suspension and maintained a level ride when towing.

[@thejagc3736]
