[@SuperSpringsInternational]

Thanks for trying us out! 😎 How do you like the ride so far?

[@f.onfire]

hola! felicidades por el video, donde comprastes las barras laterales? un saludo!

[@don9133]

Well done Chris.A lot of work, and look at the shop time charges you saved. Everybody take your van to Chris to get your's done. I of course joke about that.

[@petersmith2325]

Enjoyed your video dude. Why not use longer bump stops or air bags?. Looking to upgrade suspension on my sprinter, not sure what to use. Springs good idea dude.👍

I remember you had the tires installed by a tire shop. They often use an impact wrench and use toooo much torque. I bet you put them back on using the proper amount of torque, which will help prevent problems if you have to change the tire later. Thanks again for the great video!

[@ChrisandNicole]

Thanks for the tip :) Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@sambuvca22]

got the list going for my 2022 2 wheel drive 144 inch i really want to lift it a bit with aggressive off road tires. winter in new england can get heavy.

[@ChrisandNicole]

That is going to be awesome to get some new tires! We definitely loved having them in the winter in Canada for sure!

[@rebeccalynnmatheson]

You guys are killing it!!! Love all the updates! Keep it up!!!

[@ChrisandNicole]

Aw thank you! Lots more fun projects coming soon!

[@CannedNirvana]

Looks great! What size tires are those? I'm thinking of moving up to 35s on 17" rims.

[@accountingstepbystep2229]

Nice work Chris! How has the handling and ride been since you made the change a few months ago? - Tom

[@WillGabREADYTOGO]

We were super excited to see how to install these but realized the ones that fit the Promaster are different ones 😥 Still, can't wait to see how much it changes your driving experience on the long run! 😁

[@SuperSpringsInternational]

Did you guys see our install on the Promaster that we did with Winnebago? -Tom

Good job on the suspension upgrades! We did the same thing to our 4x4 sprinter. Althoguh we didn't install the extra leaf springs for a couple of years after the sumo springs. Because of that, we actually developed cracks on the frame just behind the upper sumo spring mounting plate. Fortunately the damage seems pretty localized and we had to re-enforce it with extra welded in steel plates. We also have beefed up sway bar from Helwig. Honestly, I don't think its worth it if you already have sumo and extra leaf springs. In fact, I have issues with the helwig sway bars clunking when the weight of the van shifts from side to side. Here is a video we made about the sumo spring problems we had. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2HdeWSLqdCch5Y

Here is a video about our clunking issues with the helwig sway bar. Hopefully youtube doesn't flag me for having video links in my comments. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4DakH98dqZpjrs

That’s amazing! Thanks so much for the feedback. Great to hear from you because I had already watched your video on Air Suspension a month or so ago and that was the sole reason I decided to cancel my order for airbags and decided to start with the leaf springs. The sway bar I’m getting came as part of a kit with the shocks and sumo springs, so I’ll give it a try and if I don’t like it I’ll take it off. I’ll check out your other video!

[@RamblingsWithDan]

@@ChrisandNicole oh good! I'm glad you saw that video. Good luck with the rest of your build.

Sumo are junk.

[@SuperSpringsInternational]

Hi Kevin! Can I ask why you think that? - Tom

[@carriker54]

@@SuperSpringsInternational after purchasing the suggested suspension upgrade for my vehicle, I called technical support to find out why they were in effective and did not fit the vehicle correctly. I explained that a 2019 Mercedes sprinter was not the same as all previous years of Sprinter production. The person I spoke to told me too re-adjust the installation and that would fix the problem. I explained to this person that there was no room to adjust them due to the fact that the suspension provided had been made for 2018 and older Mercedes. I asked if I could return it and all I got was excuses and suggestions on how to modify a product that did not work for my vehicle. I also sent photographs to Summo so customer support could see where the problem lied.

[@SuperSpringsInternational]

@@carriker54 I'm so sorry to hear that you weren't satisfied with our product. Were you able to return them? - Josh

[@herbmanning8348]

Sounds like you had some bad customer service and a wrong part. That doesn't make the product "junk" though.@@carriker54

Just installed my SS. They are awesome!
