SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer Installation - 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500- Video
Hi there Chevrolet owners. Today on your 2016 Silverado 2500, we'll be taking a look at and showing you how to install SuperSprings 00:00:08 custom suspension stabilizer and sway control kit for factory leaf springs. And this is what our SuperSprings look like when they're installed. They will install above your factory leaf springs and they'll provide additional assistance for your leaf springs, acting just as in another lead spring plate. They perform similarly as an overload spring, but they do offer support pretty much throughout the entire travel. If our vehicle's unloaded, they offer minimal support so it feels very much like a factory ride height, but the more we load our vehicle down, the more this spring is going to work with our factory springs to provide us additional support which will help keep our ride height from dipping as much under a heavy load, and it'll also offer increased sway control during evasive maneuvers and when going over uneven bumps.Our shackle attaches our new spring to the bottom side of our factory springs, and we have a roller here down at the bottom that allows it to move as necessary as our spring flexes. more

Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs Installation - 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Firestone Ride-Rite air helper springs, part number F2430.So here's what our air bags look like when they're fully installed. Now these are going to mount in between our axle and our frame here. And they're going to provide us 4800 pounds of load leveling support. Now our air bags are going to enhance our factory suspension for safety and stability when we're carrying a heavy load by keeping it level and preventing the sagging in the back of our truck, and keeping our headlights level where they're supposed to be. And they're going to help reduce tire wear and premature wear on our factory suspension components.Now since we have individual valves for each one of our air bags, they're going to be able to adjust independently, which is great because we're going to be able to maintain weight distribution with adjusting the air pressure individually for those times when we have an off-center load. Not only are our air bags going to help level out our truck, but they're also going to give us a nice, comfortable ride, absorbing some of the road shock and softening the contact between our frame and our axle preventing bottoming out.Now our air bags are adjustable from 5 to 100 psi. more

These don't give us an additional 5,000 pounds of carrying capacity. These will only maintain our vehicle's ride height and handling characteristics up to 5,000 pounds.These are double convoluted design, giving us a smooth ride. One unique feature about these airbags compared to other airbag systems on the market is the fact that our airbag is crimped inside of this cap here at the top and again on the bottom. more
