I've got to put a plug in here for the Maxloader. I've got a set in my Superduty and I really like them. My boss has Super Springs in his truck, so I've been able to compare both alittle. My concern is the SuperSpring mounts on top of the leaf, so will it interfere with your hitch like the airbags?? I know if you have factory overloads, the Super Springs can collapse on them and take away from what they are meant to do. I'm no pro with the SS, but I'm pretty sure they pretension your factory springs, giving you a stiffer ride from the start. I've also heard of rollers getting flattened out and needing to be replaced and I know I seen a pic online quite awhile ago where either the shackle or roller broke/came out and the Super Spring went up through the bed of the guys truck.
I guess both set ups give the same end result, but I like my Maxloaders better.
It mounts under your factory springs, so you know it won't interfere with your hitch or factory overloads. When your truck is empty, they just kinda hang there so you get a factory ride. As you load the truck, they progressively get stiffer. I also like the fact that they distribute the weight across the entire leafs instead of stressing 3 spots (2 rollers and center plate) like the SS. The Maxloader works with yoru factory springs instead of creating pretension against them w/ a SS. All in all I think the Maxloader is just a simpler system with no rollers or pivoting parts to wear out or break. Pretty fail proof IMO.
I bought mine through realtruck.com and I've been more than happy with them. I'm sure they could tell you more as I think they deal both brands. Not sure who else out there sells them. My 2.5 cents worth.....
