Installing Front Coil Sumosprings on our Van - SuperSprings | Ram Promaster Van | Bob & Hillary

[@bobk381]

Glad to see Jack stands with this installation. Another great video! I hadn’t seen this type of front Sumo Springs and they seemed to install so easily. Thanks for sharing!

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks Bob! We learned the first time we needed a jack stand!

[@Rdwarror]

Installed the Sumosprings last weekend on my Jayco Comet and it made a huge difference. Thank you for the video and the discount code!

[@Vancaskeys]

@@Rdwarror awesome!!!👏

[@CraigPeer]

nice upgrade - and easy to do too!

[@sandydemars8100]

We (husband & I) ordered the front Sumos and got a great discount using vancaskeys! Thank you so much! When they arrive we will use this video for the install. We already had the back ones installed with a lift. Thanks again!

[@Vancaskeys]

Oh yay!!!!! 😀

[@redgiantvan189]

I put the front and back sumosprings on my Promaster following your videos. Putting a generous amount of dish soap on the coil and the insert helped a lot. The fronts went on quicker than the rear. The ride is greatly improved (less jarring on potholes too). Thanks for the videos.

I installed sumo springs on the rear of our 2018 Winnebago Travato (Ram Pro Master 3500 Chaises) That made a big improvement. I ordered the Sumo Spacers for the front, that project was kind of a tough job. I removed the front tires and that helped. I'm happy with the results. Very good video, very helpful.

Great video thanks for sharing and thanks for helping get the message out there about our products!

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks Adam! They have made a huge difference on our Van!

It was the first thing I did to my 2022 Tellaro when I got it in July of 2021. The ends both met around the Springs, and were secured with zip ties thru holes at the bottom of the spacer.

[@Vancaskeys]

Hmmm…ours didn’t come with zip ties. We thought they should. Thanks for letting us know this.

[@shelaran5488]

@@Vancaskeys Are their several small holes around the bottom edge?

[@cj9667]

Great job..that was really easy looking! ROAD TRIP!!! Glad to see your wheels chocked! 🤣 Harbor Freight has the heavy duty Solid Rubber Wheel Chock on sale. Very small easy to store somewhere in your van! 90 cents off is a great deal! Have a great weekend!

[@Vancaskeys]

We definitely should get some! We will have to check out the sale at harbor freight. Thanks!

[@toycarcollector]

Those harbor freight chocks are super smelly. We have some for other uses and have to leave them outside.

[@davidswitzer4290]

Thanks for video guys...

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks for watching!

[@wlacalle]

Thanks for the video, just what I was looking for 👍

[@michaeljkasnter]

Installed Sumo Springs on a 2017-Ford T-350HD Dually Transit Plumbing Van, I noticed an improvement, van isn’t so jarring over road imperfections, super helper spings are next on the leaf springs, occasionally tow heavy equipment and need more rear support

[@dianejimenez8327]

Good job ... you guys 👍 Thanks for sharing .. 😀 🤗😁❤️

[@Vancaskeys]

Thanks Diane! ❤️

[@leilei4210]

I installed the front spacers first... definitely it's a night and day experience the 'sway' was muted... Thor should have installed these stuffs already 😏 - - (as usual nice to see your videos 😊)

[@Vancaskeys]

Agreed. Night and day difference! Thanks for sharing!

[@Skyking6976]

What ton floor jack is that? I just let RAM put on the back ones this morning because I was concerned about lifting that much weight with a 6 ton bottle jack I bought. Thought it might sink into the asphalt. Didn’t seem like you had a problem with the jack you used.

[@rao180677]

I wonder if that doesn’t end up putting too much stress on the part of the spring that doesn’t have sumospring. Cause this basically stiffens only part of the spring.

[@daves9315]

how much did the front raise up after the install

[@vanmileswiththeKochs]

Do you still recommend the coil sumo springs?

[@Vancaskeys]

Absolutely. We have the front and rear sumo springs. And we just added the helper springs aka super springs.

[@vanmileswiththeKochs]

@Vancaskeys Awesome good to know getting my van upgraded while these sales are rolling in lol 😆 next tires but have to research what size my Ram needs. Thanks a bunch had to refer back to this video for the coil springs.

[@Vancaskeys]

@ awesome! We just put new tires in. Went with K02s and are super happy with them.

[@whosnextrealestate]

what was the model number for the sumosprings? Which ones did they send you? Going to order some now! Bought the back ones and installed them =)

[@deborahholt2531]

Did the addition of the Sumo springs on the rear & spacers on the front add any more clearance to the van? That generator is soo low to the ground! And, you use spacers in the front, not another set of sumo springs?

[@celestinoybarra3057]

Correct me if I’m off on this but isn’t suspension travel important? Seems to me that takes away most of the spring travel and replaced by a urethane block. I watched the van go down the curb and the rear seemed to not compress at all to absorb the bump. Wouldn’t a stiffer shock work better by not compressing as easily but allowing full suspension travel? I would also think things would rattle more due to effectively having less suspension travel.

[@synapticamps5724]

I think it’s clever how these work and how well they preserve the soft responsiveness on small bumps while progressively increasing spring stiffness as suspension travel increases. Note - they’re only installed on one turn of a spring that has 5 or more coils. Also, there would generally be a slight gap so they won’t engage immediately on small bumps or loads. While stiff, they are not incompressible. I find these very useful for reducing sag when a vehicle is carrying heavy loads or towing. Used in this way, they would more likely help improve your suspension travel length. If your springs are already pre-compressed under load that portion of suspension travel is no longer available to help absorb bumps in the road.

[@carlosherrera0001]

I didn’t hear much confidence from Hillary when she asked if the spacer was installed correctly, she was like “Ok”

[@Vancaskeys]

😂😂😂

[@tonyjoverjr5579]

Bob, are you happy with your Thor class B, let me know I plan to get an 18M soon

[@Vancaskeys]

Yes! I’m happy with it. Once everything gets fixed I’ll be even happier. It’s a great van. Good luck on your new van!

[@lindahardy8713]

I knew you’d like the Sumo’s. A Icn better ride for sure. I hope you’ve driven in cross winds previously so you’ll see the difference with the Sumo’s.

[@Vancaskeys]

Yes! They make such a huge difference!

[@randomlybro]

Where would you actually stop the sumo springs once you slide them in? Are there any specifics to that? Your wife also asked, " How high do you need to go? "

[@Vancaskeys]

You only have to go to the middle of the spring. That seemed to work for us.

[@cj9667]

Where are you guys?????? Did you happen to see the 2023 Airstream Rangeline? Just came out…

[@Vancaskeys]

Oklahoma! That why we didn’t get a video out last week. We will have a video Sunday 😃 we did see the airstream! I’m super excited to see it because it’s on the upgraded promaster chassi-my only concern is the size of the bed for us. But airstream puts out such great quality so I’m sure it’s great. -bob

[@cj9667]

@@Vancaskeys Safe travels. That’s right you both are 6 footers. I’d wait a year..since this is their first..but their quality is a plus…and the rig is only 131K

[@sparks701]

To bad these aren’t standard on the Thors. Standard on Winnebago travato.

[@Vancaskeys]

Agree! They should be! Winnebago for the win!

[@drod5157]

Still working?

Yes. Have had no issues with it.

Don't complain. 22 gallon would cost you $165 in continental Europe.

Did it give it any noticable lift?
