I installed the Sumo Springs yesterday morning ... the black one (47s ... the mid-density ones). Installation was easy. I noticed after the installation that the back end of the 2019 Tundra appeared to sit about an inch higher. Driving behavior didn’t change much ... maybe could feel the bumps a little more in the rear but really not bad. So I drive 350 miles down to Iowa to pick up my travel trailer today. The trailer has a dry weight of about 5,500 pounds and a dry tongue weight of approx 650 pounds. The dealership hooked everything up with a new 1,200# Equalizer brand weight distribution hitch. Here’s the weird part. Once the trailer was lowered and the WD hitch engaged, there didn’t appear to be ANY rear end sag on the Tundra. Great right? So I reached under the frame to see how much the Sumo Springs were compressed ... not only were they not compressed but the didn’t appear to even be pressing against the underside of the frame so the didn’t appear to be any sag occurring. Makes me wonder whether I could have left my original bump stops in place which would give a better overall ride. Anyway, the trailer towed like a dream ... I won’t say I didn’t know it was back there but it tracked straight and true with absolutely no sway or instability. Would love to hear others thoughts on this. Maybe the Sumo Springs will begin to do more work once the trailer is fully loaded (7,200# gross weight max).

I have timbrens front and rear plus the rear sway bar. I can take railroad tracks like a beast, not towing of course. Tow a 5800# dry Grey Wolf and it hits the rear timbrens so they definitely work.
