Anyone like to share some good or bad experience with Aussie Super springs.

Lex,had those spring put on my F250 earlier this yr & more than happy with them.They do their job
well & the ride difference is hardly noticeable with or without a load.On my first trip to the Cape this yr i had the truck weighed & it was around 4300 kg & over loaded by nearly a tonne & it handled the corro's with out any problems.I would recomend them & purhase them again as
well.
Cheers,
Bob.

Very happy with the super springs on my LC 60 series. Keeps the vehicle flat when cornering. Handles corrugations and heavy loads beautifully. I had a problem with one and it was replaced without charge. I think it is a better solution than inflatable bag type approach.

Hi Lex,
We had Super Springs fitted to the Navara for a while, however have since removed them. We decided to simply have the rear springs reset, add a leaf and that has satisfied our load/ride requirements.
I was concerned with the interference that occurred once the car was loaded and the trailer attached.
The U bots used to attach the Super Spring to the main spring pack interfered with the underside of the frame when covering 'normal' off road situations.
I spoke to the guys in
Brisbane however was not able to correct what I thought was an unacceptable situation.
********** PLEASE NOTE
I couldn't access the address listed so assume the Super Spring referred to is the leaf that attaches over the top of axle and then to the spring pack by way of u bolts.
Hope this is of interest to you.
Rob.

G'day Lex,
Yes, that is the product I had experience with, so as a suggestion, I would carefully check the clearance above the standard spring to frame and then find out how much room the Super Spring requires. (In a loaded configuration)
As noted, on a D22 it just won't work without interference when loaded covering off road terrain.
Other than the interference issue I felt they did the
well, however in future will add a leaf and reset the original springs if needed.
Rgds,
Rob.
