SuperSprings Model # SSA10 Installation Instructions
Front / Rear & Poly Spring Pads (PSP’s)
The SSA10 springs do NOT have a specific left or right side; however, they do have a specific front / rear side. Position the two-hole shackle to the front and the three-hole shackle to the rear. PLEASE NOTE: Two sets of PSP’s are included with these springs. The larger set is for Ford applications; the smaller set is for GMC and Dodge applications. See page three of these instructions for more details
Step 1: Positioning the vehicle:
Vehicle must be on level solid surface. Ensure emergency brake is ON and Ignition is OFF. Place blocks in front and rear of the front tires to prevent the vehicle moving.
Step 2: Jacking up vehicle:
Place the jack on chassis/frame member - not the axle or differential. Raise one or both sides of vehicle so that rear wheel(s) is slightly off the ground. Support vehicle with jack stands. You may remove the wheel for easier installation access but it is not required.
Step 3: Where factory springs are above axle and mounting kit (MTKT) is used:
Place mounting bracket (from separate white box) on top of factory springs directly above axle. Using U-bolts & hardware supplied, attach mounting bracket to factory springs. Slip SuperSpring through wheel well or slide in from behind vehicle, positioning it above MTKT
Step 4: Where factory springs are above axle and Poly Spring Pad (PSP) is used:
Place PSP flat side up, centered on U-bolt retainer plate.
Factory U-bolts facing up or down has no effect on this installation.
Slip SuperSpring through wheel well or slide in from behind vehicle, positioning above PSP.
Step 5: Attach front shackle:
Ensure all A/C lines and brake cables that might be damaged by SuperSpring blades are clear. Where additional lift or clearance is required, use shackle upper bolt hole. All other cases use lower bolt hole.* Attach bolt on front shackle using both polypropylene (black) rollers and steel rollers.
Step 6: Attach rear shackle:
Use C-Clamp and pull down rear shackle. Some installations will not require use of clamp. Attach bolt on back shackle (as in #5 above) and tighten.* NEVER TIGHTEN TOP BOLTS ON ANY OF THE SHACKLES.
Step 7: Install Hold-down Clamp (MTKT installations only)
Slide Hold-down Clamp over SuperSpring and mounting bracket, bolt holes away from tire. Install bolt, washers and nut, and secure tightly with wrench
Step 8: Check final alignments
Note: Springs do not have to be centered on mounting bracket over axle.
Position springs shackles to provide rear rollers with ū” to 1” forward clearance from any obstacles.
Front rollers only require ž” clearance in either direction.
Recheck that no A/C lines or brake cables will be interfered with by the vertical travel of the SuperSprings.
Step 9: Repeat the same process on the other wheel.
Step 10: Lower the vehicle and remove jack and blocks.
Step 11: RETIGHTEN ALL MOUNTING KIT U-BOLT NUTS SNUG – Do not over-tighten.
