Just a quick video showing how I installed SumoSprings on a 2016 Mercedes Benz 2500 4 cyl Diesel Passenger Van. The front was easy and only took a few minutes after lifting the van up a bit. As you can see, the SumoSprings are touching when the Van is on the ground and the ride is really smooth now.
On the rear, this is basically a longer bump stop / Rubber 'Spring' that will help with stability and better ride height when loaded or towing. This is a great alternative to air bags and does not require any maintenance after installation. I really like the idea of having the Bump Stop / SumoSpring closer to the axle contact point than the stock smaller bump stops as it will really help prevent the body roll and/or rear end sag when loaded. The owner is very happy with how the van rides and handles and they said that it was a great upgrade.

If you have a heavy rig, or want better handling with reduced sway, sag, and a ride that is less harsh without being too firm, I would recommend you pick these up.

Thank you to SuperSprings for reaching out and sending these to me.

From the website:
"Front SumoSprings are a maintenance-free suspension enhancement built to create a better journey. Handmade from micro-cellular polyurethane, they are designed to stabilize weight transfer and limit body roll while decreasing vibration, stabilizing sway, and softening harsh rebounds.

The SSF-106-40 has a 500 lb capacity when compressed at 50%. The Blue SumoSprings shouldn’t be compressed past 70% of their original height in order to keep full memory rebound.
Rear SumoSprings are a maintenance-free suspension enhancement built to create a better journey. Handmade from micro-cellular polyurethane, they are designed to reduce rear-end sag and increase load carrying ability while decreasing vibration, stabilizing sway, and softening harsh rebounds.

The SSR-329-47 has a 900 lb capacity when compressed at 50%. The Black SumoSprings shouldn’t be compressed past 65% of their original height in order to keep full memory rebound."

Tools needed:
13mm sockets and ratchet and/or small extension.
I used a deep 13mm and a ko-ken nut grip so I wouldn't drop the nylock nut.
Pry bars and/or Needle Nose Vise Grips or something similar

Thanks for watching!
