SuperSprings and Stabil-Ride

Yahoo Message Number: 326
Hello,
I have a 2005 Conquest 6316DK on a 2004 Kodiak. I was interested in
upgrading to the SuperSprings and Koni FSD shocks. I emailed Mike at
SuperSprings to verify part numbers, which he did. On a return email, I
mentioned that I might have the "Stabil-Ride" option, in which he
replied that their product will not work with this setup.
Didn't most 19.5 GVW MH's come with the Stabil-Ride option?
Does anyone here know how to verify if it has this option or not? The
eariest build codes I can find on the net are for the 2006 models, so I
do not know if they have changed. If they have not, then I believe I do
have the "Tapered Springs", are these only used with the Stabil-Ride
option?
Do any of you use the SuperSprings on the 19.5 GVW chassis?
Sorry for so many questions. My rig does ride very well as is, but
could be better. we have been very happy with it.
Thanks,
Bill

Stabil Ride was introduced in 2005. They were installed by McCormick
Motors before being delivered to GS. It included a new font end
stabilizer bar. Old was 2". Stabil Ride changed bar to 2 1/2" It also
included a set of longer snubbers for rear axle. Their color is
yellow. I have not heard of anyone using SuperSprings. Adding a set of
Bilstien shocks will help the ride.

Ron,
Thanks for the reply.
Not trying to disagree, but from what the ads say, the Stabil-Ride
included Parabolic Springs, auxilliary springs (I think this is the
snubber you speak of), larger sway bar, and tuned shocks.
I believe my build code says I have the 13.5K tapered leaf springs.
Not sure if this means that they are "parabolic". I will crawl under
and see if I have this snubber you mentioned.
I plan on upgrading the shocks, but I would also like to get a litle
lift to the back as well. I have read on other forums that the
SuperSprings do make an improvement.
Thanks,
Bill
