    Ok I've read every post I could find on sumo shocks.
    I have a 23 ORP with a 1.5 inch lift in the rear with the bilstein B12, I have a trailer with 275lb tongue weight and will most likely be closer to 350 to 375 when fully laden. With just the empty trailer I'm getting at least the 1.5 and maybe 2 inch of sag. Will the Sumo reduce the sag enough to level me back out. I've got a 2.5 lift in the front but it's actally 3.5 by the tape measure but still have armor to mount. Also will I need the 1400 lb or 1800 lb. Anyone with simular setup I'm listening.

    do you mean sumo springs/bumpstops? My cousin uses the black version for his trailer and he loves the ride/support

    Sumos are sized to support stock height.

    Seen some Tacoma guys get different spacers from Sumo to make up the difference when lifted.

    I use the roadactive for the Tacoma can't use it for the 4R but its still a spring like the sumo. I still think Air Bags give more support and are adjustable but the ride gets pretty harsh.

    Have you thought of looking into a Weight Distribution Hitch? Has 2 functions, reduces sag and helps avoid trailer sway.

    I might be late for this thread to be able to give a feedback on my experience with sumo bump stops, but here it is regardless.......

    DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP! This is what happened to mine after 1200 miles on light offroad trails. No towing.

    That sucks, for what they cost I would expect more. I went ahead and just replaced the rear springs, solved my problem and the ride isn't too harsh

    I started my warranty claim few days ago, we shall see what their response is going to be. I spoke with one of their reps online via chat and was told that this is quite unusual. I have also blue ones installed on the front, and those have held up pretty well.

    Not that many people would care about my post, but I need to praise the SumoSprings company for honoring my claim and resolving my issue with a speed of light. My new set of bump stops arrived last weekend, literally three days after I had filed my claim. I was told that the damage presented in my case was very unusual. I hope my post helps some end users of their product.
