Sumo Springs Class C Thor Tiburon Sprinter Chassis

We have a 2020 Thor Tiburon on a 2019 Mercedes Chassis. I am considering adding Sumo Springs in the rear to reduce the sway. I've seen a couple post claiming they do damage to the chassis. Anybody experience any damage from them?

I've had SumoSprings on the front and rear of my Sprinter for 3 Seasons now: no damage at all!

MB does not approve of mods to their chassis. Might check with them first about any possible warranty issues.

Let's face it: they don't like anybody messing with their vehicles.
But unless they can prove that the "Offending Modification" caused the damage that is bringing a warranty into the equation: they can't invalidate it.
(Thank you: Moss-Magnuson!)

P.S. Ours came as OEM equipment on the Tiffen,,,

I'm wondering what part of the chassis needs warranty coverage?

The entire drive train and suspension systems for beginners. You might want to read and familiarize yourself with your chassis warranty.

I can only tell you that I've got them on a four corners, and they do a real nice job...
