✅ About this video:
In today's video we are installing Sumo springs on the suspension of our Grand Design Momentum 399 THR. We've heard great things about this RV upgrade but are the rumors true? Are these as good as they say they are? Are they as easy to install as people make it seem? You will find out in today's video. If you are thinking about upgrading your RV or more particularly, your RVs suspension, these may be a good alternative to a really expensive setup. But they will still cost you a lot if you have a triple axle. So what should you do? See what suspension travel looks like with a before and after view of underneath our rig as we are driving. You'll be surprised!

We installed a set of Sumo Springs on our TT after flattening a set of springs on one trip through Colorado. In addition to the crappy condition of I-70 through Denver, our TT loaded weight is very close to the spring limit so we flattened our springs. So after replacing said springs, I installed the Sumos and they really did help both the ride and I believe they provide some protection to the springs since they reduce flex somewhat. So far we've been very happy with them. One other thing, I am now a firm believer in keeping the springs lubricated so the leaves slide easily against each other. This makes them quieter and less likely to break. You can use oil or I use a wax based undercoating like Fluid Film or Woolwax.

Think i will need to buy a set. I am having issues with axle damage which i don't really no the cause as i have CAT scaled tow rig and I am under GVWR. After replacing axle at begging of this season, not knowing what the culprit is I'm starting to think it's the road conditions. I am in Colorado, & I can concur I/70 is a joke.I have 6 trips on my travel trailer and new rear axle and just got back from a long haul down I/70 and just noticed wear on both inner tires again upon return leading me to think the pot holed I/70 is the culprit. Do you think these sumo springs will help protect axle?

I have purchased for our '22 Hemisphere. easy install, 1 thing to watch is to make sure the sumo spring is centered on the frame once weight is on them. Seems spring will work best if done.

We haven't seen a difference in the floor. They sit under the frame railing so it shouldn't impact the floor at all. Hope that helps!

I’m a little late to the party but I saw your video where you said Grand Design advised you to remove the Sumo Springs. I’ve seen numerous videos of other rv KZfaq channels that use Sumo Springs with no issues at all. From what I’ve seen is it’s only Grand Design owners that are having problems with their frames and Grand Design wants to lay the blame on Sumo Springs. Owners of other brands that use Sumo Springs haven’t reported any issues with them. Any thoughts?
