Hi there Heavy Haulers! Today we will be taking a look at SUPERSPRINGS's line of Coil Sumo Springs. Now, before we install our Sumo Springs on our vehicle here, we want to make sure and see how our stock suspension rides. So we can get a good comparison of the improvements that we've made with the Sumo Springs. So the first thing we want to see is our factory ride height with it, unloaded. Then we're going to see, when it is loaded. And then we'll perform the same tests on our test course with it loaded up, without the Sumo Springs, and then we'll do it again after we've got them installed to see how they compare.
So first off, we need to see our ride height. We're currently unloaded. And here at the back, we're sitting right at about 33 inches. And today we're going to be putting these on a Subaru Ascent. And here at the front of the vehicle, we're right at about 32 and three quarters of an inch.
So we'll go ahead and load it down now, and see how our ride height changes. So we've gone ahead and loaded it up with a couple hundred pounds of sand, and we're going to recheck our ride height. And now with it loaded up, our ride height here in the back's dropped down about a half an inch. So we're at 32 and a half inches. And here in the front, it's raised our suspension up by about a quarter inch.
So we're right at about 33 inches here. So we're going to go ahead and get those Sumo Springs installed now. And we'll recheck our ride height. We're also going to hit to test course before we get those on. So let's get that to test course and then get in the garage.
So here we are in our vehicle now. We're in our test course. And what I did notice, just lining it up in the test course versus loaded and unloaded, is that we've got a bit of, the hood's raised up a little bit. We see more hood than we used to, so we lost a little bit of visibility there. We're going to start with the uneven bumps section. This is going to simulate like hitting a pothole. And as we hit these here, the suspension in this vehicle is very smooth. So we don't really have a lot of rocking and stuff like that going on. In the biggest thing so far I noticed is that we can see more hood. You can definitely feel that we're leaning back. Next we're going to go into the even bump section, and this is going to simulate a speed bump or like pulling in and out of your driveway. And here, when we go over it, our suspension again, does seem to be taking it pretty well. We don't have a bunch of up and down motion. It's not excessively stiff. So it does feel fairly well. So let's go ahead and get to our slalom section now. And this is where we're going to mimic an evasive maneuver. We're in our section now, so we're going to start giving it a little bit of that. And I mean, it handles fantastic. The suspension on this car is really good. You can hear the things moving around a little bit, but it's, it doesn't feel like we've got excessive sway or anything like that. So this vehicle does have a pretty solid suspension system. So we're going to head back to the shop now. We're going to get these Sumo Springs installed and we'll hit the test course and see how it differs. I feel like this is mainly going to be for people that maybe have like a pop-up camper or something that they're wanting to bring on the back. And they've got maybe like 300 or 400 pounds or even greater in the back there. So we are here in the shop and see what happens. So we've got our Sumo Springs installed now. We've got our vehicle loaded up the same weight that we had before. Let's recheck our ride height. And we're right at about 32 and a half inches. So it didn't really raise our vehicle up any, having these installed. And now here in the front, when we check our suspension, we're right at about 32 and a half inches. So it has lowered our vehicle down about a half inch from where we were, when we we're fully loaded up. So what it seems like is that the suspension enhancement in the back, rather than lifting up on the back of our suspension to kind of, raise it back upto where it was unloaded, it just kind of repositioned it a little bit. So we're still down a little bit in the back, but we we're also down in the front now more level, kind of closer to where we we're before. So let's hit the test course and see if we can feel a difference. All right, so we're hitting the test course once again with our Sumo Springs installed. And I do notice right away that the sitting in the vehicle, the hood's a little bit back down. It feels more like we're sitting in it unloaded since we're not seeing quite as much as the hood. So we're
