I have Sumo's on both my truck & trailer. I haven't towed with them on the trailer yet. I also installed the Dexter EZ Flex equalizers as Morryde wanted me to modify my hangers & I wasn't comfortable doing that. I did install Morryde's bushing & wet bolt kit. Here's a link to Dexters equalizers, https://www.dexteraxle.com/Dexter-E-Z-Flex

Correction. I actually have the Timbren springs on my truck. They work great. Keeps bed from sagging under load

I just bought the sumosprings for my trailer. I've relocated the gas line with the kit provided, not sure if it's out of the way yet. I'm struggling with how to lift the trailer a 1/2" with a bottle jack with a 17" max height and my trailer's frame sits at 23". I'm thinking of sandwiching three 2x6 on their sides between two 2x6.

I finally installed the sumosprings. I'm too embarrassed to show a picture of the makeshift pyramid of wood blocks and bottle jack to get the frame raised. However, I felt safe knowing if the bottle jack slipped I can't be crushed.
When moving the gas line with the supplied hardware, the example pictures in the instructions showed the screw facing up. I didn't want to put a hole in the coroplast so I had the screw facing down. You can see it to the left of the sumospring in the picture. Hopefully this is acceptable. I also hope the distance between the sumospring and line is acceptable.
My trailer's measurement between frame and top of spring plate required a longer bolt and three spacers, which were supplied by the sumosprings company. I purchased the sumosprings through e-trailer.com and they helped get the additional spacers and longer bolts.
I also have the EZ-Flex suspension installed (not by me) and ready to test this out next week when traveling to a campsite.2021 Imagine XLS 23bhe

It kind of looks like Sumo springs are just really big bump stops? It looks like there's no damping like a shock absorber. So kind of like adding more springs?
