I Put a GoPro Under My Trailhunter to See What SumoSprings Actually Do

[SmokyMtnTaco]

My Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter is getting heavier with the cap and overland gear, and I wanted more rear support without adding airbags.

Rather than just install SumoSprings and talk about them in the driveway, I mounted a GoPro under the rear suspension and drove the same ditch twice so I could see what happens on each side.

The footage was more useful than I expected, especially around when they come into play and how the truck still articulates. I kept the heavy-load question separate because the RTT, crossbars and awning aren’t on yet.

Anyone here running SumoSprings, airbags, or upgraded rear springs on a 4th Gen?

I would like to see something similar with the 2 versions of the timbrens as well.

We put Sumo Coil Springs on the Subaru, which fixed a lot of its sag until we had funds to upgrade full suspension. I may do the same coil add to the OME springs on our ’25 Trailhunter. It may reduce articulation a bit.

Not sure about us wanting to swap out for the Sumo bump stops — as slowpokes, we aren’t bottoming out even when towing offroad.

I can say SuperSprings International, the manufacturer, makes a solid product. Nice folks too. I have been to their facility and they put the coils on the Subaru for me. Now I know how since I got to watch.
