    Has any one had experience or an opinion on these SuperSprings
    They are just helper springs , if you search a bit harder you'll find some that are adjustable

    Very common, this was my mates hilux from Simpson 2012.
    He drove back to Leigh creek like this, was not a comfortable drive.

    We drove from west of Wanaaring to Dubbo with ours collapsed, frightening drive of about 600k. The other one let go at Dunedoo on the level crossing on the way home.
    Surprised in the 4 years from our mishap that a solution had not been found, the Amorok has a much better design.
    Was told the workshop at Birdsville kept a supply of Hilux struts as it was such a common breakage.
    Cheers

    We checked at Birdsville and they had run out, they had a big run on them.
