Helper springs

[copper67440]

I got these a while ago and was wondering, do I just put them under the springs, between the shock plate and spring or do I need to put them in between the leafs according to length. https://m.summitracing.com/parts/exp-13120

I think they can go either way. If it was me though, I would add them to the sprAng pack.

It mounts thru the spring thru the centerbolt ,

Hi There,

I was looking at a set of these for myself and was hoping to get feedback prior to the effort.

How long are these and what comes with? Do you have any real pics?

 

[copper67440]

They are 21 5/8 long and 2 1/4 wide. They come with 2 pairs of 5" long bolts2, 3/8"and 2,1/4".

Then there's your answer. Those bolts are the centering pins. That right there tells you that you need to take the spring packs apart. That's the right way to do it anyway. That's a cool kit. They usually don't come with the centering pins and the old ones break frequently.

Thanks,

Please let us know how that works out, I am hoping that is a cheap way to keep my leafs running for a few more years....

I got the helpers on. I put them into the pack according to length and used the new bolts. I took my air shocks off and put a set of coil overs I had on. It pretty much sits where it did when I had 90# of air in the shocks. Not any stiffer that I can tell and I feel better about not having the air shocks on. Worth the $36 bucks

Yep, they are worth every penny. I used them many times.
