The helper springs have u-bolts that hang down and I'm a little concerned that in the brush and during hard articulation there could be a problem.
Plus, I already have a set and I really didn't like the ride, pretty harsh.
I "kinda" like the stealth approach of the add-a-leaf, you'd never know it is not stock.
*Hopefully I didn't take that wrong. Were you interested in a GP for the clamp on helper springs , instead ?*

It would be mostly for when I pull the car trailer. It is somewhere around 4000 lbs. loaded and all the tools in the back.
I'm not looking for much, just a little insurance
Hopefully a camp trailer , some day too.
