Benefits include:
•Improved fuel efficiency by up to 20%

I say BS to that, but they do look interesting for loads!

Anyone with the slightest understanding of automobiles will know that the 20% fuel efficiency is an obvious lie. In my opinion, this product should be boycotted just because of that. If they think people are that stupid, they would say anything just to sell product regardless of the truth.

The guy in the install video screwed up his install-he didn't put a back up wrench on the jam nut. You can see the first one turn with it...

IMO its better then super spring. I have seen loaded trucks with super springs isntalled, and all the weight of the load was transfered to the "roller" on the end of the superspring, and the final leaf on the leaf pack started to bend on the roller.

With this kit, it seems like thats not possible, as the kit pulls the leaf into its maximum bowed position from the leaf spring mounting bolt area.

Seems pretty slick.

$300 is alot though, and you could probablly take that money, go to a spring shop, and have them beef up your leaf packs with another leaf, and still afford new shocks to go along with it.
