Alright,I worked really hard the last couple of weeks and coffed up enough money to buy helper springs.Me and my dad were trying to put them on today and we decided to stop.Because we dont know where the springs live.Does it belong on the top of the current springs,or under all of the current springs.I just dont know. Thank all. :wink: Sully[addsig]

I have add-a-leaf's, and I installed mine in between the springs. Depending on the length of your springs, you should put them over the smaller ones, and under the larger ones.[addsig]

there are two types of helpers... one style goes above the spring pack, and has a catch for the lower springs for when they flatten out to a certain level... i am not a fan of that style, although they do last longer because of the fact that they are not always in use... i prefer having a helper under, or within the pack.... I bought some pickup truck springs and installed them in the middle of my pack.. i could not be happier with them.. most helpers you will buy would be an "under/within the pack" helper[addsig]

this is completely off the topic, but snitty, when you put the plow on do you have to disconnect the airbag? Maybe yours doesnt have an airbag.. I tried to get a plow and they told me it would set off the air bag .....stupid airbags...[addsig]

nope no airbag... and yeah... if i did have one... i would have disconnected it, because it would have punched me a few times by now[addsig]
