SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway-Control Kit w/OEM Leaf Springs Above the Axle - 1995 Tahoe by Chevrolet

Install these beefy helper leaf springs above your Chevrolet Tahoe's rear factory leaf springs. SuperSprings reduce sway and prevent sagging - great for towing or hauling heavy loads. Additional mount kit included for OEM springs that set above the axle.

Features:

  • Reinforce your Chevrolet Tahoe's rear suspension with extra leaf springs that prevent sagging and reduce sway by up to 30 percent
    • Work like sway bars to stabilize your OEM springs and keep them from twisting
    • Compensate for windy conditions, wind turbulence from big rigs, and weight shifts while cornering
    • Lift your truck when you are carrying a heavy load and prevent bottoming out
  • Adjust automatically to your payload
    • Rollers on each end of the SuperSprings activate when the OEM springs flex under load
    • Rollers deactivate when OEM springs aren't under load
  • Customizable - the shackles attaching the SuperSprings provide several options for installation
    • Choose a setting that increases load support and ride height for constant heavy loads or to compensate for minor spring fatigue in an older automobile
    • Choose a setting that maintains the original factory ride conditions and minimizes effect on unloaded ride quality and height
    • Choose a medium setting that balances support, height and ride comfort
  • Install easily - bolt on above your existing factory springs with no drilling required
    • Because factory springs set above the axle, an additional mounting kit is included for installation
  • Require no maintenance - no tubing or air pressure to monitor or adjust like air springs
  • Save money
    • Extend the life of brakes, tires and the factory suspension
    • Less expensive than air spring systems
  • Made in the USA


Specs:

  • SuperSprings will not increase your Chevrolet Tahoe's weight-carrying capacity. Do not exceed the manufacturer's weight limit for your Chevrolet Tahoe.
  • Designed to work with a suspension system that is in good working order
  • 5-Year limited warranty for non-commercial applications
  • 2-Year limited warranty if used for commercial applications

These additional leaf springs add support and sway control to your existing OEM suspension. Just bolt on SuperSprings over your existing factory springs, and they automatically work when you need them. As the factory spring flexes, a roller at each end of the beefy helper spring reacts to engage the helper spring and to provide extra support. The springs help to better distribute cargo weight throughout your existing suspension, channeling that weight to the points on the frame that are designed to support heavy loads.

Placing these leaf springs above your factory springs helps to keep your OEM springs from twisting, so the SuperSprings act like a sway bar, reducing the body roll that makes driving more difficult and dangerous. With these helper springs, driving is safer and easier when it's windy, when your Chevrolet Tahoe is rocked by a passing semitruck and when cornering. The springs help to reduce sway by up to 30 percent. SuperSprings also allow more wheel travel in the rear suspension when they are under load, so they maintain traction and ride comfort better than rubber or polyurethane bumpers. That means they're great for drivers who frequently tow.

You can also customize the level of support provided by SuperSprings. For most models, the shackles that attach the helper leaf springs to your existing leaf springs have several installation options:

  • For greater support and ride height when your suspension is under a constant load or if you have an older automobile with some spring fatigue, install the helper springs using the upper bolt holes
  • To maintain the factory ride and reduce the effect on your ride height, install using the lower bolt holes
  • To balance support, height and ride comfort, install using the upper hole on one end and the lower hole on the other

SuperSprings are a maintenance-free, low-cost alternative to air spring systems, which require constant monitoring and air pressure adjustment. These helper leaf springs respond automatically to the load you carry, so there is no crawling under your truck to adjust them. You'll also reduce wear and tear on your suspension, brakes and tires, which saves you money. The bolt-on installation means that they are easy to fit - no drilling required.


This suspension stabilizer kit is perfect for trucks towing fifth wheels, campers and gooseneck trailers.

An additional mounting kit is included for installation with factory springs that set above the axle.


For Chevrolet Tahoes with factory leaf springs that set above the axle, this mounting kit ensures that SuperSprings operate silently when the Chevrolet Tahoe isn't loaded. When factory springs set below the axle, the axle itself serves as a fulcrum for the helper leaf springs. However, for Chevrolet Tahoes that have OEM springs that set above the axle, the 2-inch brackets in the mounting kit act as fulcrum points on the underside of the SuperSprings. Furthermore, the shackles at the ends of the helper springs hold them in place and pivot as the load is transferred to the SuperSprings. Because there is minimal preload tension in the installed SuperSprings, you get a quieter ride.


Note: The additional mounting kit (MTKT - included) provides U-bolts with a leg length of 4 inches. If your application requires that you use the additional mounting kit and if your existing factory springs have had extra leaves added, longer U-bolts may be required to complete the SuperSprings installation. Also, some older Chevrolet 3/4-ton and 1-ton models (Chevy C/K 2500, Chevy C/K 3500, Chevy Silverado 2500, Chevy 3500, GMC Sierra) have thicker factory springs that may require longer U-bolts.


To determine if you need longer U-bolts, measure the thickness of your existing leaf spring where it sets directly above the axle. If this measurement is greater than 2-3/4 inches, you will need the longer 5-1/4 inch U-bolts (SS112219-4).

  • Are SuperSprings Sold in Pairs or Single Units and How Do they Compare to Other Suspension Products
  • The SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway-Control Kit, # SSA8MTKT, comes with two springs, one for each side of an axle. One benefit of SuperSprings is that they are customizable. You can adjust them to increase load support and ride height. Another setting is for a more OEM ride condition. And a third setting balances support, height, and ride comfort.

  • SuperSprings Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2007 Ford F-150
  • For your 2007 Ford F-150, if the trailer when loaded and ready to tow is less than 7,500 pounds, then you would need the SuperSprings, # SSA5MTKT. If the total weight is greater than 7,500 pounds you would need # SSA8MTKT. Either kit will fit depending on the weight of the load you will be towing. I have included links to the installation instructions for both sets along with a video showing a typical installation.

  • Can Super Springs be Installed on a 2002 Toyota Tundra 4x4 TRD with a 2 inch Block Lift

I attached a photo showing the bump stop you referred to and showing other images of the installation that should be helpful. see link.

  • Towing Suspension Recommendation for 2004 Toyota Tundra Towing 21 Foot 4000 lb Trailer
  • The best solution for reducing sag and safely towing your 21 foot, 4000 lb Heartland North Trails trailer with your 2004 Toyota Tundra would be to use a weight distribution system. When pulling a trailer, I recommend weight distribution over suspension enhancement. Suspension enhancement primarily suspends loads carried in the bed or cargo area of a vehicle. Weight distribution is called for when the rears of the vehicle sags because of the tongue weight applied to it. Before making a decisio
