HELP! Need to beef up stock rear suspension on the cheap for trip

I humbly disagree with these two points.

I wouldn't want my old and worn leafs bouncing on those "clips" for 250 miles. If the load on the leaf exceeds the steel's tensile strenght at that point of weight bearing just once, you'll need new springs. You only want weight bearing where the spring is clamped on the axel by the U-bolts. A helper spring would be a better option.

Air bags are not just for street rods; they are very usefull for towing and hauling.

 

That's what I will be buying next time I'm in US (shipping to Poland doubles the price of air bag)

 

Yall missed the fact he is a 5lug and the packs are deisgned different. As well as the hangers for the shocks arnt the same

 

Here 5lug specific aal, get a long leaf and u bolts

Yup, Im a five lug guy. That looks like a good deal and not too drastic. Have you used "fatbobsgarage" before? I'm new to ordering online truck parts and want to make sure it's a good site to order through. Also, I don't have the tools for this install. How much do you believe someone would charge?

 

Yes ive ordered from them, i have thier leafs on now.
Leaf helps support I believe an extra 100 pounds

 

Or find some junk yard 5lug leafs And take the pack apart and use the leafs as an AAL

 

+1 for wheelers aal 3pack. works with factory overload
