    so I plan on getting a set of helper springs just to help a little when my camper is being pulled and hopefully to stop my axel wrap. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Just replace the entire leaf pack with a set of Dakar springs (or something similar). How heavy is your camper?

    I tow a 5k lb trailer and ride nice and level with Dakars and a weight distribution hitch.

    It's not heavy. It's an aliner camper.

    Unfortunately if you're getting bad axle wrap new leaf springs is going to be the most reasonably priced solution I'm aware of. Are you running the stock leaf pack and what year is your truck?

    There is a tsb/recall for some years/models that might get you a fresh set of leaf springs for free...otherwise reach out to Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road and she can get you a set of Dakar leaf springs at a reasonable price (free shipping from them too).
