Your post is misleading.
A truck is built with a given load capacity, and we can surmise that the engineers at the factory (GM, Ford, RAM) "certify" a truck to haul a given amount of weight, hence the number we all know as the GVWR, which is on the door jamb sticker, or a sticker somewhere on the truck.
Throwing more springs (a SuperSpring product) under a truck doesn't give the truck the ability to add "additional load carrying capacity" as you say in your post above.
Adding any suspension enhancing product does NOT give the truck the ability to exceed the design limits of the truck (i.e., carrying MORE weight than the GVWR limit of the truck).

Forgive me, but I see nothing in Torklifts description of stableloads to indicate that they are marketing them to be a "replacement" for airbags or additional overload springs, but an enhancement to stock suspensions in the area of stability.
This is correct. A Stableload activates the overload spring sooner, so the truck doesn't sqaut as much with a load on it.
