UPDATE------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------

I put the SSA7's on and they work fine and they are a lot more stiff.  It lifted me about 2.75" - the center part of my wheel-well is 37.5" from the ground, but I still had the same problem, hitting the off-set bumpstop.  I called while I was out there and me and Mike Visser (President) talked through it.  He has some aftermarket bumpstops he is sending me along with the brackets for them - for free - and I am going to take off that offset bump stop, put the Superspring bumpstop on and try it from there.  I hope that my problems do not discourage you guys from buying from this company.  They have been great, and customer oriented and have taken a great deal of time and money trying to help me out.  I will update again as soon as I get the bumpstops - they are scheduled for delievery on Tuesday - Feb 6 at an unknown time.  I know this is going to be fuel for the fire of airbags vs springs, but either way I want people to be happy with what they chose.  If everyone gave this kind of service for their products, it would be awesome.

Well here is another update.  Put the bumpstops in, they work, now another problem has popped up.  The shackle on the back part of the leaf spring is hitting frame rail.  I called them back and they are sending some short shackles.  After this, they said they will refund my money.  I loaded up my 4-wheeler in the back and man was it smooth until I hit some LA potholes and heard a metal thud.  I grabbed up a buddy of mine and jumped my fat ass in the back with the 4-wheeler and started jumping up and down and sure enough that is what it was.  I will post up again when I know something.

Thanks for the update.  I am glad you are keeping us up to speed on what the supersprings are like.  I have read other things similiar to your problems.  I think I may try airbags and see how they work.  Now I just gotta decide if I want each bag to be independantly controlled or not.

I put the air bags on, have not done a thing since.  That was over 35,000 miles since August.    Here is the reason the bags need to be inflated independently.  If one side of the truck has a heavier load, you can compensate.  I have seen some camper set ups that were much heavier on one side.  Also for some industrial applications, ie welders, compressors, winches, or just wierd loads like boxed trees from a nursery or whatever, this can help.  Also if you blow a line, you will still have air on one side.  If you are changing the weight several times a day, a compressor would be helpful.  I have about the same weight all the time.  I just have the lines run through the licence plate holes to schraeder valves.  This is helpful this time of year, the ice does not accumulate on the valve.

Matter of fact yes I do.....SuperSprings sent me shorter shackles.  It did not work, I gained a little more clearance between the frame and shackle, but not enough to not hit.  I will be calling this morning to speak to them and see about a refund.  I have done everthing I can and they have too.  I will make a recomendation to pull them from the market for our trucks.  I was supposed to have already picked up my Titan, but the truck left Georgia yesterday instead of last Friday, so I have to wait for that too.  Will keep posted until the spring thing is done.

Got the return tag today, now I need to find a box big enough to stuff this in and call it gone.  : )  I am ready for my Titan to show up, I will miss my Frontier, but I ordered the Titan with the Off-Road package and all kinds of other stuff that make it equal to the Nismo package I have now.  : )

Sounds good, I would upgrade to the Titian but they didn't want to give me enough for my truck.
