Superlift front springs?

Guess not. But do you have any particular questions about them?
 
Most of us run ORD custom Springs, or tuff country. Some have used bds.

I put some super lift on a 67 f250. It rides like a buckboard.
 
I have 6" superlift HD springs on my stepside. Now my truck is a touch heavy, 6100lbs, but with a good shock. Bilstiens from ORD. It rides very well(little bouncy but controlled). Plus it handles any weight I throw in the back with ease.
 
I run 4" Superlift springs up front on my K30 crew cab. I'm sure the wheelbase helps, along with the weight of the big block, but it rides very nicely. I've got no desire to ever go with a softer spring on that truck.
 
I have zone 4” front springs on the front of my K20, rides better than the rough country’s on my dodges
 
I’m running 4” Superlift softride springs on the front of mine. Way better ride quality than the rough country springs I had on there.

just a heads up people . . . ZONE is BDS budget brand . . .

as said ruff country and super lift are stiff and hard . so if you want softer go tuff country / or maybe even bite the bullet and call ord for a spec built set .
 
I’ve installed zone on several vehicles and never had an issue, I’d love to have a set of ORDs but I didn’t pay that much for the truck.

Funny the difference between the rough country and Superlift softride on my truck couldn’t be more different. Far better with the Superlift springs over the rough country units.

Maybe it’s the full dress big block and winch/winch bumper on top of the springs making the ride better with the soft rides. But the same stuff with the rough country springs crashed and banged over everything. That’s with the same Bilstein shocks with either set of springs.

I guess results may vary.
 
Might be the vendor manufacturer de jour, my furd super lifts were made in Mexico. Today I bet Chinese or India
 
Well yeah, Rough Country is worse than almost anything. They make some good stuff for later model stuff and Jeeps, but their square-body lift springs have always been brutal. Being better than Rough Country doesn't really tell you a lot about any particular brand.

i dont know about better stuff for later model . . . i use to install lifts and the last few kits before i refused to do there kits anymore they would down grade hardware size over stock and also skipped out on parts the rest all included as std equipment in there kits . and you know there cheep when a LOT of there kits last time i looked were all 999.95 . . .

1 time a guy had a rubicon jeep and wanted there full kit put in . there was no way to lock down the adjustable arm ends and nothing in the directions about it also . i boxed it all back up and told him sorry not a quality kit in my opinion .
 
Rough country is made to sell at a certain price point, folks in that price point are willing to compromise ride for a cheaper entry, it’s not for everyone.

I have a rock krawler kit on one of my TJs and a rough country on the other, RK was $3k, RC was $500, aside from shocks riding in them you can’t tell the difference. Off road it’s night and day. Maybe people will never use a lift kit for anything other than going to the mall.

I'm not sure how the results very widely, but they obviously do. I've experienced results similar to yours I guess. I have driven squarebody trucks on old Rancho, Pro Comp and Rough Country springs... My Superlifts are very comfortable to drive around on and are nothing like the other 3 brands that I mentioned. The ride quality is similar to the BDS springs on my Suburban.
