I added the double leaf Supersprings to my 2500HD pickup and it provided it with a 5,000 lb. payload capacity. It took only one hour to install them with some wrenches and a large C-clamp. Nothing to adjust and nothing to fail while out on a trip. The ride without the camper is not different than before I installed them. The shocks don't have to work as hard as the added springs reduced the range of travel of the truck at the rear with a 3700 lb. camper load.
With SuperSprings you are increasing the load capacity of the factory leaf packs but not changing the way the function. This is the opposite of what happens with air bags.
Search for the many posts by people with handling problems with their air bags and also the posts by people who had air bags on their trucks and then took them off. Air bags are good for tow vehicles to adjust the height of the hitch or the bed to better mate to the trailer. If one of the two air bags fail, and they will sooner or later, you will have to abort your trip until they can be repaired. They would be my very last choice for this reason alone.
