Spectrac Selects SuperSprings To Help Level The Load Without Hardening The Ride

Spectrac Suspension Centers, Inc. of Phoenix, AZ has deployed SuperSprings load-leveling spring products on truck fleets for improved handling, towing, and safety.

CARPINTERIA, CA April 21, 2004 - SuperSprings International, Inc., a leader in the market for self adjusting suspension stabilizers, today announced that Spectrac Suspension Centers, Inc. of Phoenix, AZ has deployed SuperSprings load-leveling spring products on truck fleets for improved handling, towing, and safety.

We are delighted to have established a relationship with Spectrac with their long history in the suspension industry and significant knowledge regarding suspension diagnostics for trucks, RVs, campers, and vans, said Gerry Lamberti, Chief Operating Officer of SuperSprings. Additionally, for our customers in the Phoenix area, we are very pleased to have an organization of their stature providing installation support and service for our full product line.

Recently Spectrac selected SuperSprings to stabilize the suspension and minimize body roll on a fleet of trucks being up-fitted for Home Team Services. Each truck was fitted with a set of SuperSprings which act as a helper spring in addition to the normal rear axle leaf spring pack provided by the truck manufacturer. The tapered design of the SuperSpring provides a progressive assist to the standard spring pack so that the unloaded suspension of the truck functions normally while minimizing rear-end sag and sway when the truck is heavily loaded.

We were delighted with how easy it was to install SuperSprings on the Home Team trucks, said Jerry Hartman, President and Owner of Spectrac Suspension Centers. Every truck driver we spoke to after the SuperSprings went on were thrilled with the improved handling of these trucks particularly when fully loaded.

About The SuperSprings Product
SuperSprings is a self-adjusting suspension stabilizer that gives users extra load capacity, improves towing, and prevents rear-end sag without hardening the ride. Working in parallel with the vehicles suspension system, SuperSprings attach onto the existing rear springs and kick-in only as needed when carrying a heavy load, towing, entering a sharp turn, or during an emergency panic over-correction. SuperSprings also reduce wheel hop for a smoother ride while the anti-sway feature reduces body roll giving enhanced driver control.
