SSR-610-40 | SumoSprings Rear for Toyota Tundra, Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, Nissan Titan | Left/Right Pair | 1000 (lb) Capacity at 50% Compression | Made in the USA

I held off on writing this review for a while. These didn't appeal to me at first. However, I am now a big fan of them. br>br>On my 2016 Tacoma, installation was simple. To install the sumospring mounting plate, loosen the u bolts, remove the factory bumpstop, and torque the u bolts. The torque for the rear axle ubolts on a 2016 Toyota Tacoma is 52 ft lbs, according to my research. Mine was torqued to 58 foot-pounds. Once the bracket is in place, use the blue loctite to secure the sumospring to the mounting bracket, making sure to coat the sumospring mounting screw, which is welded to the plate, with a good amount of it. Many people appear to believe that loctite is only for axle ubolts. However, the instructions state that it is to be used to secure the sumospring. Loctite isn't required for axle ubolts, and I double-checked mine at 500 and 1000 miles. All good. br>br>All I had to do was shift one sumospring slightly back on the spring to get it to line up perfectly with the bumpstop bracket on the passenger side, which was a simple adjustment. br>br>They've now been driven for about 1000 miles. I thought they rode a little rough at first, but they seem to break in over time. On the trd off-road, the springs are likely to be a little stiffer than factory springs. road. But it appeals to me. They raise the back of the truck by about 5/8 inch like other states, which is ideal because the gen3 Tacoma has a higher hood and looks low in the back even when empty. They're fantastic when there's a load on them. There isn't nearly as much squat as there is in this picture. When towing my 3000 travel trailer, it's the best part. The tongue load on the trailer is 330 pounds. Another $200 is spent on the generator and other back-end equipment. The back end had squatted before. It used to be fine, with no bottoming or anything. However, the headlights were too high, and the vehicle's back end was squatted, making it look ridiculous. It's level now. When loaded, the ride becomes slightly stiffer, but it is still enjoyable. It's a truck, and it's a big one. I despise the fact that Toyota went to such lengths to soften the ride, compromising loading capacity. br>br>So far, I like them a lot. Helper springs appear to have difficulty hitting the gas tank or frame, so these were by far the easiest of all the options. I've had airbags in the past. This appears to be a great compromise for the person who rides empty for the majority of the time but then heads off to Home Depot for a large load or takes off like I do with a travel trailer and another couple hundred pounds in the back. I did a lot of research on these. I couldn't find a single review that said they harmed the truck in any way on any of the websites I looked at. Although some people did not enjoy the ride, the majority appear to enjoy it. br>br>We'll see how they hold up in the long run. I kept the factory bumpstops in case anything went wrong. These were a little pricey for essentially two pieces of engineered foam and a couple of brackets, in my opinion. I think $150 is a better price point. Despite the fact that they may be overpriced, they appear to be excellent. br>br>Remember to loosen one side at a time; loosening both sides at the same time could cause your alignment to be thrown off. Use a pole jack under the axle to support the axle if you're using a lift, as I did.

So far, they've performed admirably, and I don't see why that should change anytime soon. I won't go into too much detail about the installation because it's simple. It took less than 30 minutes to put them both together. I'll go over the components that make this such a great pickup for me. I had 36 on factory settings, unloaded. The distance between the ground and the middle of the outside edge of the rear wheel wells is 5 inches. The pickup squatted to 35 inches when I put 420 pounds on the towing hitch. When using the SSR- 610- With 40 SumoSprings installed, the unloaded height increased to 37 inches, which was an unexpected bonus that I eagerly accepted. The pickup only squatted to 36 when 420 pounds were placed back on the hitch. 5 inches. This is exactly what I was looking for, and it has made towing my boat a lot easier. Surprisingly, the ride isn't all that bad when it's not loaded. The pickup has a firmer ride when it's not loaded, but it's not stiff or harsh. To be honest, I didn't notice it at all. I hope this information aids other Tacoma owners in making a decision about whether or not to purchase a product that will reduce some of the squat when towing.

Used on a 3/1 lifted 2006 Toyota Tundra 4wd crewcab. Because I tow a 24 ft 4000 lb dry travel trailer, I purchased them. Technically, I didn't need these because I use a weight distribution. I wanted to get rid of the small amount of bounce I had, so I tried these. The Supersprings make complete contact all of the time due to the 1 inch lift block in the back, and the ride unloaded is similar to a 3/4 ton truck over bumps but not noticeable the rest of the time. Hooking up the travel trailer, the truck would go down about 1. Without the distribution hitch, the rear clearance is 5". With the Supersprings, the temperature drops by about 0. 75". The Supersprings keep my truck at 0 when the weight distribution is connected. I'm 5" taller in the back with them than I was before. If I had chosen black springs instead of blue, the truck would have remained at its unloaded height, but I chose blue for a more comfortable ride, as these springs eliminate nearly all of the bounce that occurs when towing. I only wish I had known about these a long time ago.

These were installed on a 2006 Nissan Frontier to help with squatting issues while towing and with loads in the bed. They appealed to me because of the design's set-it-and-forget nature. br>br>I chose them over airbags in the hopes of improving towing performance enough to eliminate the need for a weight distribution hitch on the occasions when I pull a /- Trailer with a payload capacity of 4500 pounds. I'm aware that my trailer's tongue weight is nearly the same with these installed, and that suspension upgrades aren't the solution that a WDH would provide. Nonetheless, the assistance provided by these has improved the way my trailer pulls. br>br>The results were noticeable the first time I pulled the truck out after finishing the installation, and the truck now feels safer. The bed squat has improved noticeably, and the ride quality has improved both loaded and unloaded. From the back end, I stutter less. It has the feeling of being supported, as if a hand is gently gripping the car's back end. It also reduced body roll in turns on mountain roads, making the truck feel more stable. I chose the blue because my loads in the bed rarely exceed 300 pounds, and I prefer a softer ride most of the time; if it squats slightly for some future maximum load, it's not a big deal to me. br>br>Previously, I'd replaced the shocks on this truck because the old ones were toast, so it was stock suspension plus new shocks that handled loads poorly, and adding these was more important than replacing the shocks. br>br>It's highly suggested.
