No common word fully rhymes with /səˈspɛnsfəl/. The -spense words (suspense, expense, dispense) rhyme with one another and share the /spɛns/ sound and spelling, but they lack the final /fəl/. The -ful words (wonderful, beautiful, powerful) share the unstressed suffix /fəl/, but their stressed vowels differ, so they are not true rhymes with suspenseful.
