I installed a set of supersprings (helper leaf springs)
paid $40
installed in 30 minutes
I haven't had a big load in it yet but it sure as hell rides a lot smoother.
less bounce and less roll in turns

definatly an A+ in my book

(I'll have pics up after it stops raining)

 

Interesting...where did you get them? Did they give it a stiff ride or change the ride height at all? I've been considering something like the helper springs for towing but I don't want to have to remove them for daily driving.

I just noticed you are just up the road from me... I'm just west of medina/brunswick.

 

You're going to be towing stuff with only the 4 cylinder motor? I wish you the best of luck bud

 

I have had helper springs in for close to a year now, never had a problem and they do make quite the difference. I paid 29.99 (I think) for them at Auto Zone. You do not need to remove them for daily driving just bolt and go, make sure you get them as tight as you possibly can tho (without bending the brackets too bad) to prevent them from coming loose over time. And yes they do stiffen your leafs which does raise your truck up to an inch or so. But like your leaf-springs and everything else suspension related they will start to wear out over time, but even warn they will whoop more *** than stock. Easily worth the time and money spent.

Also, this is not to be confused with an Add-A-Leaf, although it is the same princable.

 

I got them at autozone
they did lift the rear maybe a half inch.
the ride no rougher than before
and I won't tow much than a ton
but when I haul 2000 pounds of sand/gravel/scrap steel etc..etc..etc... It won't sag near as much.

 

I've always wanted to get some helper springs. whenever I tow or put the quad in the back of the truck it sags quite a bit. and I'll be crankin my T bars before winter.

 

do they snap and make loud noises when you go over bumps? i had a set on my jeep and they used to do that sometimes but other than that i must agree they do stiffen it up quite a bit and make it ride better for the most part

 

no, they don't make a sound. I don't even hear the squeak i used to

 

Any pics up yet? I tried looking for them on autozones site but I couldn't really find the supersprings...

 

I just got some today. and I'm gonna install them this weekend. I'm gonna put them on level 3 and see how it is. I'm also gonna hopefully crank the T bars this weekend too.
