Why MAD Helper Springs Are Better
Not all suspension upgrades are created equal.
When your vehicle sags or sways under load, the right solution makes all the difference. On this page, we compare MAD helper springs with other popular options — and explain why MAD delivers real support without sacrificing comfort.
🛠️ Don’t Compromise –
Choose the Right Suspension Solution
When your vehicle sags under load or feels unstable while towing, there are many so-called "solutions" on the market — but not all of them solve the real problem. At LowLand Suspension, we specialize in MAD coil-in-coil helper springs, and we believe in clarity.
Here’s how they compare to common alternatives:
❌ 1. Heavy-Duty Leaf Springs (Stiff Replacements)
Heavy-duty leafsprings, stiffer suspension upgrades
These springs replace your original leafs with stronger versions — but at a cost.
- 🔻 Ride becomes stiff and uncomfortable when unloaded
- 🔻 No load sensitivity – always stiff, even when empty
- 🔻 Not progressive – can lead to harsh rebound
- ❗ Suitable for constant commercial loads, but not mixed-use vehicles
Better alternative:
👉 MAD helper springs only engage under load, maintaining factory ride quality when empty.
❌ 2. Bump Stops, Bump Buddies, SumoSprings
SumoSprings, bump stop suspension support, load helpers
These products act as external cushions that compress under weight — but:
- 🔻 Only active when suspension fully compresses
- 🔻 Unpredictable performance – can lead to sudden jarring impact
- 🔻 May interfere with suspension geometry
- 🔻 No TÜV or manufacturer-specific tuning
- ❗ Not integrated with the spring system itself
MAD advantage:
👉 Coil-in-coil helper springs work smoothly with your suspension for gradual, progressive support.
❌ 3. Rubber Inserts or Coil Spacers
Coil spring boosters, rubber spring spacers
A cheap DIY fix — but not a real solution:
- 🔻 Blocks spring movement – reduces comfort and control
- 🔻 Can shift or fall out under load
- 🔻 Short-term fix, not long-term support
MAD solution:
👉 Designed specifically per vehicle, MAD kits preserve full suspension movement and performance.
