Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but this is my understanding of how Sumo Springs work.
Sumos are solid cast rubber-like material that replace the spring bumpers in the front, and are added as spring bumpers in the rear (at least on my Vegas, that is how they work.) They cushion the effect of rapid and/or deep spring travel in order to eliminate the "chunk: when the springs bottoms out or for large bumps, and also to stabilize the spring movement in any direction other than up and down. Bottom line - they enhance ride comfort, and better control excessive or misdirectional spring movement.
