Info If anyone is looking for something like this for towing.
I purchased a sumospring universal kit to try to retro fit it to the factory bump stop location. After measuring I found I had 4” OD and 3” ID on the bracket to play with and around 5.5” of height between the bump stop bracket and the axle. On my research I found that the diameter of the springs were 4” and the height was around 5”. After receiving the sumospring the height was around 5.25” with the metal mounting plate that comes with it.
Due to the height I didn’t think it would work, but I decided to call supersprings (sumospring manufacturer) tech depart. They advised me I’d be Able to cut the spring down with no issue. He also advised if I wanted the spring softer I could take a pyramid type section from the bottom for a softer spring rate. To not effect ride quality when not towing they recommend .5”-1.5” clearance between the sumospring and the axle. And lastly he mentioned they are working on a kit for the gladiator, timbren also. But no production date of course.
Here are the pictures of my trial run. I decided not to cut them down just yet I need to do more measuring with my boat hooked up. And also might go with the blue set which is the lightest spring rate.
