Can I use Super Springs with a Weight Distribution System
Published 07/29/2016
Question:
Can/should the SSA28 Spring kit be used in conjunction with a weight distributing hitch on a 2015 F150. I have the heavy duty tow package but my 30 foot trailer with 800 lb tongue weight really puts a load on the rear end even with the WDH adjusted correctly.

Suspension enhancement systems, like the Super Springs # SSA28, can be used with weight distribution systems. However, Super Springs may not have much of an effect because a weight distribution system is going to be more effective at reducing sag and distributing the tongue weight.
However, if you are getting a lot of sag, a weight distribution system is the best solution. If you still have sag after setting up a weight distribution system, I recommend double checking how much tongue weight your weight distribution system is rated for and make sure it is adjusted properly for your towing set up. This means making sure your weight distribution system is rated for your trailer's loaded and ready to tow tongue weight plus the weight behind your rear axle. Both of these weights added together is the tongue weight of your towing system in regards to weight distribution. If you are carrying more tongue weight than what your system is rated for, than you will need a system rated for a larger tongue weight.
If your weight distribution system is rated for the weight you are carrying, but you still have sag, the suspension enhancing Super Springs will help.
I attached a help article on how to calculate tongue weight along with a help article answering common weight distribution questions which you may find helpful.
