I just installed what are supposed to be the SSA11 on my '08 Tundra. After trying multiple locations for the Super Spring, I was finally able to attach both the front and rear shackles only if I used a C-clamp to bend down the spring in the front to first attach the front roller and then use the C-clamp in the rear to attach the rear roller.
With this approach I basically used the frame to hold the rear section of the Super Spring down as I worked the front down and then went to the back. When I attached the front roller without putting tension on it, the rear was 4-5" higher than it should be which prevented me from getting the rear roller attached.
I was finally able to get this together. After I figured out the first side the second side went very quickly. However, there is so much preload on the springs that the truck sits about 1 1/2" taller.
Does this seem right? I have not read of anybody else having this challenge. I am at least 1 1/2" taller with the rollers in the low position.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
