Any "helper" component is going to make a stiff ride and not allow complete travel. If you load heavy stuff in your bed all the time, helpers are great because they help not sag so much which in turns lifts weight off the front and helps with handling. If your springs are that saggy, I wuld suggect replacing them

I used a similar set on my last truck (92 GMC extd cab 4x4) and really liked them. The best part? I got them at AutoZone for $26 for the pair.

I plan to add them to my Ram soon. The firmer springs mean less sag when towing or loaded and the truck drives better when empty too. At that price it isn't much of a risk if you don't like them.

Oh, and comparing to the one from JCW, the ones I used were the "20 inch" variety, not the "full length".
