    $256 hellwig 980 leaf helper spring
    hellwig 980 helper springs for prerunner with tsb springs.Was getting tired hitting bump stops ( maybe overload springs) with only little weight in bed
    Had to make spacer for center pin in helpers and used new centerpin so could center in TR spring perch.
    The way I have it adjusted spring has slight arch not flat . Ride over bumps seems better. Just need to see how much weight it can handle .
    Just posting for options with TR kit . Also electric out so killing time lol....

    Update . With about 400 lbs helpers all good . Maybe sits down about 1/4 to1/2 in . Still can tighten down clamp more for more support .Ride good, no hitting bump stops. For me these helpers work .
    So those running TR kit These are a pretty good option for better load carry.
