Sax Suspension - Equalizer kit rear leaf helper springs

Hi workhorse

I had Aussie Super Springs on my Mazda Bravo. I towed a Kimberley Karavan with it and it is fairly heavy on the ball weight.

The Aussie Super Springs are easy to fit and work really well. My neighbour has the Ironman load assist but concedes that the Aussie Super Springs appear to be superior.

Now I have a Mazda BT50 and I am waiting to get a set of Aussie Super Springs for it, too. I will be towing the same load as the Bravo did.

Hi Workhorse,

As a suggestion I would talk to a spring works and ask them for advice as to a 'helper' or two stage set up, whereby unladen ride is not compromised at all however once laden the second stage of spring takes the added load.

I used Aussie Super Springs on our set up and was most disappointed in them. In operation on our car the attaching 'shackles' would foul on the chassis on maximum articulation (once loaded). I spoke and corresponded to the manufacturer a couple of times to ensure I had fitted them correctly and whether there was a work around, there simply is not.

If you like the idea of the Aussie or similar I recommend that you look very carefully at how they attach, what may need modifying and any area of potential restriction/contact.

It may be that the simplest solution is a little more expensive initially however will be the better long term solution, paticularly in the application you've described.

Hope this is of interest.

Rob.
