Questions & Answers
Two for the back, to replace the stock bump stops.
Yes, you'll have to take out the original bump stop. On my 2016 at least, the sumo springs had to be removed and replaced. There will be about an inch gap when the container is empty. The sumo spring will come into contact with the weight as you add it, giving you the factory ride.
I'm afraid I can't help you, but if you go to the Sumo Spring "super spring" website, they have a chat line where they can walk you through exactly what you need for your vehicle. There are a lot of things to consider, so good luck.

There is no rear sway bar or overload springs installed, and the ride height is factory. I tow a 12000 lb trailer on a regular basis, and it was only then that I noticed the sumo springs were installed. My ride isn't much different unloaded vs loaded with a trailer, and my steering is more effective because the heavy tongue isn't picking my front into the air any longer. br>I went this route because I didn't want to risk mechanical failure due to air bag leaks or rusting out of the road master active suspension. I don't have to make any adjustments loaded vs. unloaded once the sumo springs are installed; it's all foam. br>The most difficult part of the installation was removing the old bump stops. Lifting the truck and wedge blocks between the axle and bump stops, then letting the truck back down, was the only way I could keep the bump stop from turning while removing it with the nut.
I put the Sumosprings in after my Firestone airbags blew out due to road debris. The truck rides level, and the ride is actually superior to that of a vehicle equipped with airbags. My only regret is that I didn't try these before spending nearly $1000 on bags.
This product comes highly recommended.
As you can see in the photos, my truck weighs 9000 pounds. The sumo springs raised the back one inch, so it no longer sits on the overloads. Definitely more stable, but it still rides well on the road and can handle large potholes and bumps. I'll update after I load the truck with a heavy load and tow a 10,000-pound trailer. Before and after photos are shown on the left and right, respectively.
On my 2016 Ford F-150, it works great when towing. The 350 crew cab assisted in reducing the sag from 3 1/2 inches when loaded to 1 inch.
5500 pound trailer with plenty of firewood and a generator in the bed These springs serve their purpose admirably.
