adding part time helper leafs
so im adding 2 add on helper springs in my rear leafs..what would you guys/girls guess is the MAX limit of my truck after this? would i be able to tow cars w/o any issue? and what would be the biggest car/trailer combo id be able to tow before needing either A. new leafs, or B. full-time helpers

Ones from discount suckk.. i had them on mine, broke the little metal like ubolt that bolts it to the leaf pack. They're cheap, and made even cheaper IMO. I have the hellwig over the leaf helpers now, they handle 2800lbs, and didnt effect my ride at all (they're adjustable). Still rides like a truck.

well i just need a set for this weekend..im going to lake land to pick up an RX-7 possibly. so unless there is someone that is in lakeland/polk county that has a set of helpers that would want 30 bucks+a 1200 watt 12" xplod sub and give me there helpers then imma have to get the discount ones..money is an issue here..

If you are only hauling an RX-7 I wouldn't even worry about helpers. If you load the car right you can have just about all the weight of the car on the trailer and not on the truck. I have a 24 ft enclosed trailer that my dad bought to haul his Cuda to car shows...Unfortunately, the trailer has been used WAY more to help my friends move. Granted when I had the trailer PACKED to the gills with their crap, the truck sagged a bit, but I have a weight distribution hitch...which would be MUCH easier than messing around putting helper springs on and off and on and off...even if only every 3-4 months.

Like this one. But like I said if only towing a car, you shouldn't NEED anything...I still load the car to where I need to used mine because I think it helps a bit with trailer sway as well. So I pull the car a little further ahead, make truck sag, then take the sag out with the hitch. I have done so much crap with my truck that I shouldn't have, but this hitch helps it out A LOT...I should have a 3500 truck, but don't cuz this hitch works wonders for me.
