SuperSprings International has designed new SumoSprings applications to address the unique needs of shuttle buses. The SumoSprings “airless airbags” can be mounted to the front and rear suspensions of the Ford E-Series Cutaway, a popular platform for passenger transport vehicles.

SumoSprings are manufactured from a proprietary microcellular urethane and bolt directly to the vehicle frame. They fill the gaps left by short factory bump stops, improving ride on rough roads. They are completely maintenance-free and will never sag due to a leak, offering a “fit-it-and-forget-it” solution. SumoSprings can be compressed by 80 percent of their original height with full memory rebound, delivering better performance than competing rubber products.

Two new applications – one for the front suspension and one for the rear – were developed for the E-Series Cutaway. The front SumoSprings (P/N SSF-106) fit any E-350 or E-450 Cutaway chassis built from 1996 to present. The rear SumoSprings (P/N SSR-106) utilize brackets designed to provide a factory-like fit on 2001 to present models.

Each version is available in different densities designed to suit any need. SuperSprings representatives can be reached at (866) 898-0720 to help determine which density will work best based on vehicle setup and intended use.
