So I went and picked up 500lbs of gravel today and my truck squated pretty good. I don't have the tsb done on my flimsy 2 leaf pack so I installed helwig 550 helper springs a few months back, thought that would help but it still squats pretty low with 500 lbs.
Should I go with the helwig 1000 helper springs or should I put a whole new leaf pack in. If I go the route of new leaf packs I don't want any lift, just better payload capacity. Any suggestions?
