Has anyone used Super Springs???

I am just about ready to by a set of Firestone Ride Rites for my ride but I keep seeing adds for Super Springs SuperSprings Self-Adjusting Suspension Stabilizers.

Has anyone used them? Are they any good. Let me know.

Thanks,

DRDON

Thumbs up

Yes we have DRDON, I would seriously consider the SuperSprings. The springs work well, simple to install and are especially useful with Superduties like yours since the spring leaves are so much longer than previous models. Our trucks pull heavy loads in pastures, trails, county roads as well as paved highways; all kinds of conditions and we're very pleased with them. No leaking air bags, fittings, air lines etc.

How much are they ? Are they steel or composite ? Do they affect the ride when empty ?

Supersprings

Mack, prices will vary depending on your make, model, 2wd or 4wd, etc. We paid about 380.00. Check them out at this site:

"Overload and stabilizing leaf springs are SuperSprings, better than air bags."

As far as how they affect the ride, our experience has been that it is barely if not perceptable at all any difference in ride compared to a truck not equiped with SuperSprings. Put a load on it however and it remains relatively level, pulls well with noticeably less sway with wind combined with heavy stock trailers and enclosed trailers.

SuperSprings are spring steel, on ours there are 3 adjustable settings. We used the center hole adjustment and that seems to be ok. I believe the tighter the adjustment, the higher the rear of your truck will sit when not loaded.

Just installed Super Springs on my '08 PSD 250. I pull a 12K 5th wheel and the ride height was perfect, much better than stock. I had airbags on my last truck, worked o.k., just a pain filling em up etc. So far very happy with the springs.

I'm going to pick up a 12,000 Gross fifth wheel tomorrow. I'll take some before and after shots because I'll be picking up my Supersprings tonight after work.

Another Thumbs Up For SuperSprings

I had a pair of SuperSprings on my old 89' Suburban with a 2" lift and they worked GREAT!

Was nervous about spending almost $400 bucks on them but they worked beautifully for over 4 years (finally got rid of the Burb after 5 transmission rebuilds over 10 years). Retired the old girl to get my 08' F250.

They are VERY easy to install and they have a very nice setup for the F250's with or without the factory overloads.

Also nice that you can adjust them so that they either don't start working until you have a load or working all the time.

Plan on getting a pair in the future.

This link should provide the setup for an 08 F250.
