Hey everyone,

Looking for opinions.

Should i got with air bags or sumosprings? I've ran airbags before. Just trying to get an opinion on the sumosprings?

 

I personally use the firestone air bags, but since I installed these I rarely fill them up:

I don't know anything about the Sumosprings.

The Sumosprings look kind of neat. No air and no maintenance. Being in Beaumont, it's not likely a concern for you, but for the folks in the colder climates, it says they are rated to -25°f.

 

Have you looked at Roadmaster Active Suspension? I've had airbags and these and like these better. They are on my truck now.

 

If you are going to add some help on the rear end what would be the purpose of putting in a fixed solution? I'd think the adjustability of the airbags is going to be a better solution since you can pressurize to what ever you need to level your load.

 

I've never had any issues with airbags. I've installed, used and enjoyed them. I have not ever tried any fixed solutions, but the simplistic design intrigues me. They appear to be progressive, so they won't affect the ride any more than needed for the job at hand. There's no need for onboard air, or for finding a compressor or bicycle pump to adjust the level of the loaded truck. I would never suggest one was better than the other without trying both for an extended time, but I would likely give the SumoSprings a shot.

 

If you are wanting to fix your truck's squat, improve towing handling, etc, air bags are a great choice. Since you've had them before, you know all about them. If you'd like me to find a kit for your application, send me a PM with your info. We also have a rebate going on now on airbag kits and compressor kits. Thanks!

 

I installed something similar to sumosprings called Timbren SES. Same concept, I think I got them a little cheaper than sumos. I have airbags on the wife's truck, but I like not having to find a compressor. I suppose the onboard air would fix that, it's just more cost.
