So, I put a few miles on the truck today with no trailer and the truck is pretty much riding on the sumo springs. The gap is closer to 1/4” than 1” that sumo recommends.
I am not happy with the way it is currently. I would not recommend this setup the way it sits. It is too bumpy and “bottoms out” pretty much constantly. Softer than actually bottoming out on the stops but not the nice ride I’m used to. It’s not awful but not great.
I do want to see how they feel with the trailer hooked up but around town doesn’t seem like it’s going to be worth the trade off.
so, my solutions are
A: install the 1” rear lift that I’ve had sitting on the shelf in the garage for a while now
B: trim the sumo springs
C: throw them in the trash (joking)
