1st the hardware
Doubl-Mat is smooth on one side and textured on the other side.
A smooth side allows for Forklift to slide pallet into truck easily.
The SuperSpring #SSA28 has polyurethane pad under center of the spring.
20+ minutes to install or take off the SuperSpring.
The results:

Have a set of the super springs in my shop, mached them up, trimmed u bolts, but thought the front spring hardward may contact frame. Any input on your end on contact?

Huh, keep it under 40 and smooth roads only? Pass. Thanks for the idea though.

great idea just wish u didnt have to be so careful about hitting the frame with it...

Under a no load condition, the truck has a 'barely noticeable' stiffer ride.
The 'Launch' feeling is noticeable. This might be good for the supercharged guys.
But, the trucks rear is raised slightly over 1 inch. I suppose with a 'mid-perch' adjustment . . it would be level.

Don't forget: This is an overloaded condition which places the shackles near the frame.
If SuperSprings has a helperspring approx. 6 inches shorter, then there would not be a clearance issue.
But, the rating of the spring would change.

I currently have taken the spring off the truck. Easy On-Off.
It was put on, because now, is when the 'sale-deals' for wood pellets are 'On'
and I need to be warm in the winter. Besides, electric heat is clean, but a 'bitch' to pay for.
This setup is for the guy who only has to rarely make the heavy payload trip.
