I'd like ot get some helper springs for my 1/2 ton pickup. At it's gross weight it's sitting pretty low. My concern is 90+ % of the time it's empty and I don't want to make the ride stiffer. Air bags are too expensive for a half dozen 15 mile trips a year. I've seen Hellwig springs that bolt on top of the trucks springs. Timbern rubber springs that replace the current rubber bump stops too but have read mixed results. both Hellwig and Timbern are about $200. Then I saw $30 helper springs at AutoZone. Now the AutoZone springs only fit on top 1/2 of each leaf spring. I'd like some input.
