Supersprings

[daily_double]

After going to my local Spring shop (which is quite big by the way) and getting an $800 estimate to add 2 springs to my 2012 F350, I am thinking about supersprings. Are they a DIY project ?

See man, I knew I shouldn't have clicked on this email, I had to go see what you were talking about and ended up buying a set of Timbrens for my old 12 valve. 🙂

I had a spring added on each side of my 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 a couple months ago. It cost me $425. Truck actually rides better unloaded now. I have not loaded the camper yet to try that.

And where might yours be?;)

Last time I checked, 10 seconds ago, it was under my profile. :S

Sorry, was thinking it was more convenient to have the info in the signature.....I'm lazy

Never dealt with SuperSprings, but I put a set of Roadmaster Active Suspension on our E-350 van, and it wasn't too bad - would have been a piece of cake on a lift ......

Yes it is a DIY project. They make it so you can remove the spring pack when you're not using it and install it when you need it. I have the two leaf springs installed and it has worked out fine for me. It is a bit heavy to remove and install so I would suggest talking to them directly. They've helped me out in the past and give great support.

I don't know how to add the info!

Up on the right side of the page it says "forums - private messages"
click on "Forums" and then you will see a list of choices running across the page. Click on "My Profile" and you will have all kinds of things to fill out.

I also think it is a DIY job

Yes, I installed Supersprings on my truck. The job will probably take the average person between 1-2 hrs to do both sides. If I recall all you need are a few wrenches. The easiest way is to jack up the rear of the truck (frame up, not the axle) and remove the rear tires and wheels. That gives you good access to the work area. By lifting the frame of the truck you are taking the tension off the spring pack. Fairly simple job.

I've replaced leafs when I was younger. 20 years ago when I added a leaf on a Cherokee, I went to a spring shop and let them do it. I had no thought of doing it myself.

I just added a pro comp add a leaf kit for my 2011 F250. It comprised two leafs per side and lifted the rear of the truck about 1" unloaded. Total cost was $500 in San Diego, where labor rates are high. The kit (13150?) was about $180.

I'll be doing a write up soon..

Being that you have a 350 with the taller rear spacer blocks, you might not want the added height, in that case, supersprings.
