SuperSprings Installation Video

This short video, from the Two Guys Garage, shows how easy it is to install the SuperSprings Helper Spring Kit. The adjustment options of the spring shackles and mounting kits are also reviewed.

SuperSprings Shackles - Which Bolt Hole?

All SuperSprings applications are length specific to best fit the dimensions of your vehicles spring pack. The shackles attached to the eyes at each end of the SuperSprings have multiple bolt-hole options giving you some flexibility in adjusting the preload tension of the spring.

Using the lower bolt holes of the spring shackle, gives you a “longer” shackle, and lessens the amount of preload tension on the SuperSprings. As a result, it gives the least noticeable impact on the ride quality and ride height of an unloaded truck.

Using the upper bolt holes of the spring shackle, results in a “shorter”shackle, and preloads more tension on the SuperSprings stabilizer spring. As a result, it gives the greatest change on the ride quality and ride height of an unloaded vehicle.

The various combinations of upper and lower bolt holes used on the spring shackles of the SuperSpring creates intermediate ride quality and ride height.

Short or single-hole spring shackles are generally used in applications where clearance between the top of the SuperSpring and the vehicle frame needs to be increased. Using the upper (top) bolt hole on a two or three-hole spring shackle will produce the same effect. A square spring shackle is used on some applications that are equipped with a stock above-spring factory overload. In these cases the square SuperSprings shackle captures the end of the factory overload spring.

SuperSprings Mounting Kits

Which vehicle applications require a mounting kit?

The SuperSprings stablizer spring mounting kit is typically used on all vehicles with leaf springs positioned above their axle. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, specifically:

• Vehicles equipped with a factory overload spring above the main spring pack
• Ford F250’s and F350 with no factory overloads
• Ford E350’s
• Some Dodge 2500’s

Mounting Kits - How they work

The mounting kit has one simple function: to induce minimal preload tension onto the installed SuperSpring. This is done to ensure that when the upfitted vehicle is unloaded, the SuperSprings operate silently.

The 2" tall mounting brackets act as fulcrum points on the underside of the SuperSpring and the shackles at each end of the springs secure it in place; pivoting as load is transferred to the springs.

All nuts included in the helper spring mounting kit are nylok self-locking, and will not loosen when correctly installed. When tightening these nuts simply "snug" them securely. Over-tightening might have the effect of marginally stiffening the vehicles ride.
