Can you please site some examples of where this has happened? Give me just the case title and I'll look it up.

just concerned that the 1400lb Sumos might make the ride a little too stiff for comfort?

Thanks in advance!

I spoke to the manufacturer at SumoSprings and they were basically reading off a data sheet. Ended up ordering the 900lb (black) rear and front Sumos. Still not sure if I should've ordered the 1400lb for extra cushion for when I decide to tow a trailer with motorcycles on it...

What's The Risk?

Excessive weight can destabilize the vehicle and increase the risk of losing control on the road. That said, I'm sure my 2401WS is at least a couple hundred pounds over when we load up on water for dry camping trip. Getting rid of the dutch oven might help
