FlyFisherCJ , Apr 16, Heck, I've had 40 bags of steer manure blend 30 lbs. Don't see how helper springs are needed unless going over stock ability. Anyone else have any insight?

It is always recommended to check on them occasionally, and verify your bolts are tight, but other than that they are maintenance free.
Air helper springs require that you maintain a minimum air pressure. Yes, it is very common to use them with sway bars. We have numerous customers with heavy trailers or motorhomes that use both products to eliminate sway. This will depend on which kit you are wanting to use and how your truck is lifted. Some of the manufacturers offer additional spacers or taller springs to compensate for the lift.
Feel free to call us at and we can see what is available for your specific lift. How difficult they are to install will depend on which part you choose and the type of vehicle you have. Installing helper springs is typically something that can be done in your garage over the period of a few hours and do not require professional installation. Some of the kits can be installed in much less time, but your experience, type of jacks, etc.
We list the installation instructions on our website and recommend reviewing them to see what the installation requires. Truck leaf springs are a critical part of your suspension and if they are shot, we recommend replacing them. Helper springs are designed to work alongside a suspension that is in good working condition. A leaf spring helper or coil spring helper will not raise your truck, so the factory shocks will work just fine. If your shock absorbers are worn, now would be a good time to replace them.
We recommend Bilstein shocks for anyone that tows or hauls, they are top of the line and worth the few extra dollars over budget shocks.
I have had these on my RV right around two years now and they definitely smoothed out and quieted the ride and also they help stabilize the rig in corners but I'm a little concerned how the yellow polyurethane foam has turned to a brownish color, is this a sine of the foam breaking down and d Read the Review.
This is the best thing I have ever put on my truck! This product does much more than it describes in the description! First, the squat is almost completly eliminated. I tow a lb travel trailer and it used to squat with the weight distribution hitch about 6 inches.
Springs fit great, work great. Had to scramble to find replacements for next day. No other issues. Shipping was great and fast!! Great product and easy to install. Had them on the truck in 30 minutes. Needed these to haul a portable hydraulic tank. Smooth ride now. Thanks Truck Spring!!! Installation was Very easy. I haven't put the fith wheel on yet to see how they handle the weight, but empty the truck handles with no difference, really happy about that.
Very easy to install I'm talking ten minutes and your done! No more sag idea for the snowplow sag. I haul a lot of brick in the bed of the truck where people run over mailboxes an I have to rebuild them.
I love this product an was simple to put on if your haveing trouble with your truck squatting with a load behind it this is the answer way cheaper then air bags!!!! Mount red these on my F with a travelite camper with shower. Worked great. No more sagging. Truck is level in all terrain. Improved the handling considerably, on the road. Plus so easy to install only needs a few tools. Once I took the camper off. No jacks were needed, and you Best thing I ever put on a pickup.
Easy to install and handles a load great. Will recommend to anyone I know. Great service. Easy install. Ride is firmer but not harsh. The product is great! I payed extra shipping costs to get it in 2 days,and it took 5 days. And didn't get back my money!
Ride quality: What is the ride like with and without a load? Does the product enhance the ride or compromise ride quality? Longevity: How long has the product been on the market? Does the product have a good warranty? Does the company offer a customer satisfaction guarantee? Is a good warranty important to you? Not every product — however popular it might be — is designed to meet your needs.
Hopefully, this comparison has helped you decide which helper spring is right for you. Each helper spring product has its own unique design qualities. Hellwig helpers and Super Springs mount to the top of the leaf spring stack. Shackles hold the ends of the helpers in place. Installation is quick and easy. Coil design helper springs bolt onto the leaf springs and engage with the frame under load. Coil spring spacers can be inserted into the coil spring without removing it.
Airbag helper springs: Airbag suspensions are more involved, particularly if it involves onboard air. Sumo Springs bolt to the axle and the frame. You will have to drill into the frame to complete the installation. If you can remove a bump stop, you can install a Timbren SES product.
Many bolt right to the frame using the same holes. Some are adjustable, some are not. Or I should say, some are self-adjusting. Most of the products we considered can be adjusted during installation.
But only a few of them need constant maintenance. Here is a list of the non-adjustable helper springs followed by the ones that are. Rubber springs have a progressive spring rate which means the springs automatically adjust to the load. The only products that are adjustable are air bag helper springs.
If you are willing to spend the money, air ride systems can adjust air pressure to meet added weight and irregular road conditions. Adjusting the air pressure can also be done manually with the flip of a switch. More Info.
