Tacoma SumoSprings Installation and Results

Completely fixed towing or heavy load sag. No acceleration sag. No noticeable difference in road driving other than far less body roll. The rear end feels much stiffer. Also fixes the Tacoma lean! It would likely be horrible for off roading. But if you’re trying to eliminate sag under load, this works.

I'm trying to decide between the blue and black springs for my 2010 Tacoma. Would I feel much difference between the two when unloaded? I'm leaning towards the black. Thanks

[@SuperSpringsInternational]

If you’re loaded up more than 50% or with a lot of weight most of the time, I’d recommend trying the black. If not, the blue would be great!

[@bobbygfl]

M Lebowski If it helps under load the yellow ones are really not that bad. I would choose more support over ride quality personally now that I know what the yellow ones feel like. Don’t get me wrong, you feel the road but it doesn’t knock your fillings out. Well like a sports car than a jeep if that makes any sense. In fact my daughter said her jeep is way bouncier and it’s stock.

I have a Chevy 3500HD and added the Timbren springs. When they are installed you need a 1" clearance between the bottom of the Timbren to the bump. This allows for a gentle ride while not towing. Your new springs are already hitting the bump and that would seem to be the reason your have a rough ride when not towing. Just an observation.

[@bobbygfl]

Agreed, they definitely stiffen up the right a bit because they hit the frame but it’s really not all that noticeable.

[@bobbygfl]

Thanks!

[@blakel4595]

You really should try the blue or black ones. Those springs are the same ones that they also put on the tundra so yellow is overkill even for the tundra. If you check their recommendation chart yellow is for severe duty such as a truck that permanently hauls around a heavy pick up camper for hauls every single day. I am using my Tundra to the max and still only went with black as to not destroy the empty ride

[@bobbygfl]

Good choice. I was going for zero sag but the ride is fought for sure.

Thanks for the great video! Do you know what brand of helper springs you have? It sounds like they are not that good seeing how you had to add a second load-supporting product.

The helper springs I got from Amazon and they provided some lift so I would get them again for that reason alone. Also it takes quite a bit of weight to get the sumo springs to actually kick into action. If I am just telling my boat the helper springs are plenty. If I’m carrying a heavy load in the bed the helper springs were not enough and the combination of both keeps the truck level but also allows for suspension travel. Hope that helps

Quick question? How do you like them so far? Especially when you are not towing or hauling anything? Does it effect it when you use your four wheel drive? Any traction problems? I’m thinking of getting a pair for my Tundra.

[@bobbygfl]

I love them. When you are not hauling anything I think you get a little bit more balance because your spring travel is allow the sumo springs to push up against the frame. For perspective my daughters jeep is more bouncy and it’s stock. I have zero traction problems this is not a four-wheel-drive. And went under load they are perfect keeping the rear of the truck from squatting.

[@greenhausroams]

Hey man, 2 years later are you still enjoying them? Planning on putting an AirLift kit in my 2020 as I'll permanently have about 1,000 lbs in the bed (water tank and sprayer). The yellow sumo kit is a bit cheaper, but I'm going back and forth between the two systems. Thanks! Great video as well.

You shouldve gotten blue instead, blue is for midsize truck, blue wouldve more than enough for what ever youre towing. Yellow and black are for medium to heavy duty and fullsize trucks, but each to their own! If it works for you great, great tacoma though!

[@bobbygfl]

qoua vang thanks! I called sumo and asked. I wanted as little compression as possible. I don’t like the truck to squat under load. They said these combined with the extra leaf springs I added would be my best option. They were right. When hooked to my boat there is only a 1/2 drop but the suspension still travels quite a bit. In this case I’m glad I calmed them. The product is doing exactly what they said it would.

[@journeytoliving7344]

@@bobbygfl so you needed to install an add leaf and the sumo springs to correct the sag in rear when trailer hooked up or had a heavy load? I have a 2 seater side x side on a 7x12 si angle axel and it raises the front more than I am comfortable with. Feels very floaty in front going down the road. I was going to add just the sumo springs. What do you think

[@bobbygfl]

Here’s what I learned on my journey with this. I may make a video on it because I get the question a lot. The additional spring leaf lifted the rear about an inch on the torque setting I tightened the bolts to. For loads I’d say around 200 pounds it keeps the rear from sagging. It also makes the ride tight with no load. Not bouncy just tight. Like a sports car. The sumo springs barely even touch at 200 pounds load. At 500 pounds load and up the sumo springs take over. When I have my boat hooked up the sumo springs are working for sure. What happens is you get zero sag up to maybe 800 pounds. And the ride is a dream. Very smooth. When you are towing or have a heavy load the sumo springs are so smooth. Like ringing on air. So the experience is the combination of not the extra leaf and the sumo spring depending on how heavy you’re loaded. Hope that helps.

[@DMHal01]

So it will help give a slight lift? I installed a Dobinsons 1.5” lift on my 17 Tacoma and an add-a-leaf but the add-a-leaf added more than 2” so it’s way too high on the back end. I want to add just a slight lift on the back end to even it out. I presume this will do the trick?

[@bobbygfl]

Just the leaf springs will give it a lift not the sumo Springs

Have used Timbren SES stops on 2010 Taco SR5 4x4 over 12 years no issues with pulling an 8500 lb boat on a dual axel trailer and overloading bed with probably a ton of concrete. Curious about trying these on my new 2022 Taco SR5 4x4; your thoughts?

[@williambryan2804]

I just installed these on my 2007 Tundra. I noticed the right side sits a little higher than the left side. The left side touches lightly and there is a small gap on the right side. They seemed to line up right. I torqued the nuts to 95 ft./lbs.

[@bobbygfl]

Same with the Tacoma! Feel good that it’s normal. Thanks for the comment!

[@HealthSupercharger]

There should be a gap of 1 to 1.5 inches between the sumo spring and the frame when truck has light load of passengers so that the suspension can work more softy and absorb the light load shocks. Then under heavy load then it should touch. That way you have progressive spring rate. I would cut down the top 1st bump of the sumo spring so you have 1.25 inches of gap under normal light load.

[@bobbygfl]

Makes sense but with this application impossible. This is the spring sumo recommends for the Tacoma and as you can see it’s very close.

[@HealthSupercharger]

@@bobbygfl Shorten it by cutting of the top 1.25" from the sumo spring. Looks like they did not make it ideally for your truck because they were lazy to make many different heights. If you have a 1.25 inch gap you will have a comfortable ride when lightly loaded and you only want these to engage once you load your truck with soil or heavy trailer. Also you bought the super stiff ones that support 2800 lb weight for 50% compression. This is too heavy duty for a tacoma, you will never carry that much extra weight. I would recommend the softer ones blue for 1000 lb of support at 50% compression that way you have more suspension in the sumo spring. The black ones are 1500 lb support at 50% compression that might be the most i would go on a tacoma. They yellow ones are good for F250 or F350

[@BobSmith-rz5us]

[@jaymackay4303]

most trucks lean. The issue is that most trucks have the fuel tank on the driver's side. This means if the tank is full and the driver is in it alone then there is likely 400 lbs more weight on that side. If there are two people of equal weight in the truck and the tank is half full or less there should be no lean.

[@bobbygfl]

Mr Matt it’s hard to tell because there’s something in the way or the angle is not showing, but what I did was crank the jack about an 1” off the round wood pad it sits on when off the truck.

The space between the bottom of the bump stop and the the contact point seems like a key point in properly sizing these.

Agree with the others who said you should have gotten the Blue (lightest load) on your 1/4 ton truck. Your ride is going to be very stiff. And Blue would be enough for your boat.

[@Hhhservices]

Because he’s using them for towing?

[@bobbygfl]

Thanks

[@thefixer8457]

Just so I am clear, is there a step to measure clearance from the top plate then add a half inch using a spacer if need be, if not wooohooo..lol.

[@bobbygfl]

From what i understand no. Just take the weight off the suspension, install and they sit where they sit. some contact is fine.

[@jskaggs8188]

That looks like it will limit travel and create a bouncy rear end without the trailer.

[@bobbygfl]

It’s not at all bouncy but it’s rougher than it was. To put it in perspective we also on a jeep wrangler four-door. The jeep is bouncier and it has a factory suspension. So I would not consider it too bad.

[@stevenkhan4344]

Not bounce. Stiffer and less flex

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

The 2800# yellow formula?

[@bobbygfl]

They are yellow. Not sure on the formula.

[@adamcraven2002]

Why did you use the yellow not blue

[@bobbygfl]

My objective was to have as little tailgate sag as possible. The yellow is the stiffest.

[@kennylaw559]

You are supposed to stop when the torque wrench clicks......not continue another 45 to 60 degrees......

[@madviking1320]

Lmao...exactly what I was thinking. Must be used to lashing valves. Tight, then another quarter turn. ;) Thanks for the review. I just bought a set or Timbren for a lowered F-150.

[@rokstarwannabe]

That was actually cringy to watch. Lol

[@bobbygfl]

Thanks

[@MrDoeMai]

What size tire are those?

[@bobbygfl]

I’m not sure what you mean by size they are the ones designed for tacomas in the stiffest setting.

[@MrDoeMai]

@@bobbygfl I was asking about the tire size setup. I love his wheel and tire package and want to do the same.

[@gath-smanerivgetse9944]

El.costo de cuanto es?

[@bobbygfl]

about 150.00

[@canyonero2050]

$300 dollars and a rougher ride all for 1/2"?

[@bobbygfl]

Well it’s a bit more value than just the lift. It’s mainly a payload value. But yes, about 1/2”

[@user-gl3db6de3w]

I wonder if this affects truck articulation ability!

[@bobbygfl]

babi sanders it would definitely affect that and limit the range. I would not put these on for rock climbing. Strictly just for payload.

[@beforeal580]

Just take the bumpstops out completely an it will rd better with a load!

[@bobbygfl]

I was going for no sag.

[@stacky512a]

It’s not a beefy program, it’s a tacoma. You should have bought a tundra if you wanted to tow.

[@bobbygfl]

I know! I sold my tundra got this beefed it up sold it got a raptor. I loved this truck but nothing beats a full size one.

[@stacky512a]

@@bobbygfl totally agree.

[@b.a.1591]

No point in useing a torque wrench if you are just going to keep pulling past the torque lol

Thanks!

It's not a beefy truck for towing the first three letters of the name tell you all you need to know T O Y. OTA.

Not liking them engaged all the time. Rough ride.

I do agree with you. With a couple hundred pounds in the bed it’s much smoother

[@JorgeGonzalez-vq8fv]

👉🇵🇷👍🙏😁

[@bobbygfl]

Thanks

[@bmile04]

I get u don't want a little sag but now it's like your ridding on axle with no suspension at all. That's gotta ride like complete dog crap. Get better springs that can carry more weight.

[@bobbygfl]

It’s not bad. A Jeep Wrangler factory is worse to make a comparison.

[@richardstone5241]

WAAAAAY OVER PRICED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bobbygfl]

I thought it was priced ok

[@seanknight9898]

That’s gotta be a shity ride. Not worth it in my opinion. Would have gone with RAS System.

[@bobbygfl]

My daughter’s stock Jeep runs rougher so depends on what you consider bad. Thanks for the comment.

[@davidalfred924]

@Sean Knight, I have used RAS on my last four trucks. One Chevy S10, two Dodge Dakota's and now my Tacoma. Was still getting a lot of sag on my Tacoma so I added the blue sumo springs and kept the RAS. There is about 1-in clearance from the top of the sumo spring to the frame of the truck. There is no difference in the ride, only no or very little sag when I'm loaded up or pulling the trailer. Even then the ride is just fine.

[@eaznutts5714]

Tacomas a not a real beefy program

[@bobbygfl]

Lol. No not really.
