SuperSprings tapered blades and patented anti-frictions shackles act in parallel with the existing leaf spring pack and shares the total load on the wheel to provide ultimate stability regardless of weight or load distribution. The effect is to progressively increase the stiffness of the suspension throughout its total travel on an ‘as needed’ basis. As the load on the Bakkie increases, the suspension flattens out so the workload on SuperSprings is spread to the widest part in the middle.
Bakkie, 4x4, or Sports Utility Vehicle owners who use their vehicles for leisure and as a workhorse.
Bakkies, both 4x4 and 4x2 cabs are advertised to carry a 1 tonne payload. However, this is only true for medium sized loads that are placed between the back of the cab and the rear axle. The challenge with this is that loads are not always conveniently sized as they are in the ads. For example; glass, steel, and pipe merchants with their varying size and shape products. The problem is then compounded when a steel or fibreglass canopy is mounted as a temporary of fixed fixture to the vehicle. These can weigh anything between 100kg to 450kg, further reducing the payload. Ambulances and refrigerated bodies add a lot more weight to the payload, up to 700kgs, due to the density of the fixed equipment added to the vehicle. The ideal for most bakkies is to do as few trips as possible regardless of the weight or size of the load. SuperSprings increases productivity, load efficiency of the vehicles, and road safety in the case of heavy loads and multiple trips.
If your current spring pack is old and already sagging, we advise that you repair or replace it before fitting SuperSprings.
SuperSprings Load Stabiliser Suspension Systems are the ultimate adjunct to any leaf spring suspension system for bakkies, 4x4s, and SUVs, Minibus taxis, Ambulances and Refrigerated bakkies, construction bakkies, and plant maintenance vehicles. SuperSprings are fitted to all these vehicle types according to their demand load weight that they carry for recreational and commercial application purposes.
No, it will not. With more than 10 000 installations over the past 8 years in our business, we have never had a case where a manufacturer refused to cover a guaranteee because of SuperSprings being fitted. We are official suppliers to Toyota SA as well as many other brands through their dealerships, especially in Gauteng. In addition, vehicle manufacturers are themselves recommending SuperSprings to customers who have a problem with their suspensions.
If you drive a Bakkie, 4x4, or SUV, SuperSprings will decrease the lean and drift that the centre of gravity tends to cause with these vehicles while cornering, even when they are not heavily loaded. It will minimise fish-tailing/tail wag to help you maintain total steering control and vastly improve road holding.
To date, none of our clients have ever reported or claimed damage caused by SuperSprings. They have been rigorously tested and approved by the American Automobile Association for use on their SUVs, pick-up trucks, and vans.
On average, the rear of the vehicle will be lifted by 50mm.
On all vehicles with leaf a spring suspension system, SuperSprings are installed on the rear suspension.
