SuperSprings are a self-adjusting suspension stabiliser that progressively works on an as needed basis. Once installed, SuperSprings are under nominal tension even when the vehicle is not loaded. This is for two reasons;

» To eliminate the noise or rattle from the installed SuperSprings.
» To allow the patented anti-friction rollers to activate automatically

As a vehicle with rear leaf springs comes under load, the factory springs react as they are designed to. The centre of the springs move vertically, causing the overall leaves to flex and ‘flatten’ out, often leading to the vehicle bottoming out due to the added weight. This flex movement in the factory spring activates the SuperSprings through the rollers at the end of each leaf. Because the SuperSprings rollers are under tension, a movement in the factory springs causes them to move, seeking their new point of least resistance. This simple roller principle allows the SuperSprings to activate and deactivate automatically, free of any manual adjustments.

SuperSprings are length specific to fit varying size leaf spring packs. In addition, the different lengths are manufactured in light, medium, and heavy duty strengths for leisure. SuperSprings are manufactured using high quality materials and a unique design that is different from all other suspension products as they do not require regular ongoing maintenance or adjustments, nor do they require any welding or drilling for installation. The sole adjustment on the SuperSprings is found in the roller shackles located at the end of each leaf. The typical shackle has two boat holes, though some single hole and three holed shackles are used. The most common installation involves positioning all four rollers in the lower (furthest from the eye of the SuperSpring / closest to the ground) bolt holes. This ensures the least amount of preload tension on the SuperSprings and keeps the vehicle closest to its original factory ride conditions.

When load demand increases, SuperSprings act in parallel with the existing spring pack, sharing the total load on the wheel. The weight is distributed gradually from the narrow to the wider part of the tapered blade, providing true progressive suspension for the vehicle. This unique design has the effect of progressively stiffening the main suspension to counteract the effect of lean and drift when cornering by providing progressive support to the main suspension through its total travel. 

Upper bolt holes may be used if additional ‘lift’ is desired in the vehicle; if clearance from obstructions is required, or if the installation is on an older vehicle with some fatigue in the springs. The effect is to progressively increase the stiffness of the suspension on an ‘as needed’ basis.

SuperSprings’ tapered blade and patented anti-frictions shackles are uniquely designed to provide ultimate stability regardless of weight or load distribution. Although SuperSprings enhance load carrying capacity, handling, and towing, we strictly advise against loading any vehicle beyond the manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating. This is illegal and a major risk to you and your vehicle.
