Sumosprings

No I just installed the front. Removing the spacer will put it on the engine cross member. Can you put the same ones on the rear?
I called them up and was told all they have is the $500 sets.
I think it is about 1.5 inches higher.

I'm not doing the install. I'll see if the truck shop I am now using has a scale. If so, I'll get the weights.

The spacers keeps the bolt from the cross member from hitting the ss.

Just ordered new shocks for the front and front and rear Sumo Springs. Springs needed for a Thor 22,000 chassis are as follows Front- SSF-180-40-1 Rear- SSR-187-54-1. I'll post when received, installed and tested. Hope they live up to expectations

Hey, LVRVLUVR,

Sent you a private message. I'm looking for the part number for the Sumo kit you installed on the front axle of your 16k F53.
