I ordered the same ones that Gran Casita has for his 2018 Solitude: TSS-107-40. He is happy with the way his Solitude handles and since our Reflection is a bit less weight than the Solitude, I figured the same type would be good for us. I'm looking for something to dampen the bounces in conjunction with the equalizers we have, so this sounds like the best move. They arrive today and I'll put them on as soon as the rain forecast for this week clears up.

Thanks, I did find the heaver TSS-107-47 that are 5k to 8k. The website I was looking at had the 107-40 listed as 3k to 8k

For the ones who added sumo's did you cut the trim and coroplast back or let in ride against it.

I just cut enough around the spring so it could rest against the frame. I didn't want the coroplast to rip.

The weather took a turn for the worse - snow now forecast for tomorrow and Thursday

. I WILL get them installed and let you know how it goes. I did contact Supersprings and tell them what I found on my Reflection - the space between the springs and the frame is 7 inches. (I have MORryde CSE4000 suspension on my Reflection, which did increase the height by 1 inch as they claimed it would). Supersprings sent me an additional 4 spacers and longer bolts. I'm still not sure about the height difference - adding the spacers and blue Sumo and the bracket, I get 7-ish inches. I'm hoping when I go to install them that I have the 1/4 - 1/2 inch preload space I need. I'll be sure to let you know when all is installed.

I just let mine ride on the coroplast. I have not checked to see how that worked out. I'll try to check tomorrow.

I checked my coroplast today and there are no problems. I installed these while staying in Texas. We drove over 1500 miles home last week. I think because they already have a load on them after install that they do not move. They just compress up and down. I would guess if you install them properly they should be fine installed against the coroplast. We travelled over some very bad interstate highway and everything is fine. If you cut holes for them you will give critters a pathway. There would be no way to seal around the springs as they will move up and down.

Finally put my Sumo Springs on the Reflection. Took me about and hour (doing it carefully!) and they look good. We're going camping this weekend and will see how much of a difference (or not) they make. Here are pictures of how they look installed.
