any suggestions on helper springs that dont lift the truck much?

 

From my experience of helpers, they aren't for extra lift, they are to support the rest of the springs on a heavy load so the rear doesn't sag as much. If you want extra lift, add one or two more of the longer ones into the mix

 

overload leaf packs. i have a set but havent put them on yet. the bolt to the top of the stock leaf pack

 

If that is what I think it is.. it would basically be a reverse helper. Instead of being on the bottom for support, it would be on top to create more arch, and that would work also

 

You could just install air bags then you could have no lift and only the stiffer ride and load support when needed. I love mine and got them for $50 off craigslist.

 

yea mine are just like these

That's exactly what I was thinking of when I referred to 'reverse helpers' ..'cept Jake just had to take it to the extreme

Jake ... how close will that set-up be to the bottom of your bed?

 

Here's Jakes.....

Here's the ones I used......

 

Haha yea I don't like it sagging when it's loaded. Plus I'm gonna throw some leaf packs from a screw under there to help more.

The should clear just fine actually. I'll let you know for sure Friday hopefully

 

I installed Timbrens. No change in normal ride or height.

 

I run the Hellwigs.. I like 'em.. For me, they improved the ride. The truck was WAY too soft sprung stock... I like the firmer ride I got with these..
