Hellwig leaf spring helper

Anyone have these in their rig? I got a free pair. I am not lifting my truck other than may 5100s in front or possibly a leveling kit/spacer. I only use my truck ('17 CMOR 4x) for camping and hunting, and will be putting 285/65/18s on it next month. The hellwig leaf spring helper increases the payload but does not lift the rear.

Just curious if anyone has these and has any thoughts, good/bad, does what they say??

thanks.

 

I have a pair of 1909's that should arrive today. I can let you know my thoughts after I put them on...

 

I had them on my 1st gen. Used the min amount of pre load as per instructions and it rode very well. I dont remember it lifting the rear of the vehicle how I had it set.
Bought them because sled + deck was about 800# of payload and it was the cheapest option i could find.

 

I had them on my T100 and they work, but the ride was a bit stiffer. I wanted it to lift my rear as it was really saggy and it gave me about an inch and a half with the spring helpers maxed out. I forget which models I got but with an 8 foot slide in camper on the back my truck looked ok and I had plenty of suspension left for bumps and such. They are a good value, but they look ugly.

 

I put a set on my Son's truck approx 10 years ago. They are still on there and working good, The factory Toyota springs needed it, Lol, slightly stiffer ride unless you have a load in the back.

 

nice taco!

 

I do miss driving it ! I gave it to him when I bought my Tundra.
