Supersprings On An 07 Nnbs Gmc 1500

Paul58 · September 20, 2007

I'm getting a set of SuperSprings for my truck to help with towing our 31' TT. I'm getting the SSA8's, anyone else installed these? Any comments, suggestions, feedback on how well they work? I'm hoping it will helps some with the bounce on these concrete slab freeways!

40 views and no comments? Where are all the folks who use these truck to haul? I thought for sure I'd get some help...

I have used supersprings on some mid size trucks. Worked fairly well. Right now I have some firestone airbags and an on board pump on my full size Sierra. Works great towing my camper. Does not affect ride. One of the best things I did for towing. Run 5 pounds when not towing. 30 pounds will level it out with 5000 lb camper and pick up bed full.

Have a great day,

Don

I can't believe you tow a 31 footer with that truck. Not enough truck IMO.

Yah i just put the firestone airbags on mine, work well, will lift the whole back end up about 4.5" with 90lbs in them(no load) i run around at 20lbs.

Well, I have an appointment to have the SuperSprings installed on 1 Oct. I considered the airbags, but really didn't want to mess with the compressor and everything that went with them. According to their documentation, the SuperSprings shouldn't have any effect on the ride when there's no load on the truck.

The total trailer length is 31', but it is an ultra light so it actually weighs in just under 7000 lbs fully loaded with gear, with a hitch weight is less than 500 lbs. . The truck's rated to tow 7700 lbs. The biggest challenge with this truck is getting it up to speed, once it's there it has no problem maintaining a steady 60-65 mph on the highway (flat stretches anyway). We only go out about once a month and normally no further than 2-3 hours from home. The longest trip it will ever see is when I tow it to GA next month. It actually does quite well.
