Detailed Description

This Dorman leaf helper spring is intended for rear suspension service on compatible heavy-duty truck applications. It is a fit-and-function replacement for the original spring and is built to restore load support characteristics where the factory helper spring has worn, weakened, or lost effectiveness. Fits 2002-2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty, rear, with single rear wheel (SRW) and the listed leaf spring configuration. The part number 43-1499 is also referenced for cross-checking against related replacement listings, and 43-1499 should be verified against the vehicle’s spring setup before installation.

What It Helps Address

  • Sagging rear ride height from a weakened helper spring.
  • Reduced load support under towing or hauling conditions.
  • Loss of original spring rate and suspension assist.
  • Uneven rear suspension response caused by worn spring components.

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s rear spring configuration, including single rear wheel fitment and leaf thickness details, before ordering. This part does not include mounting hardware. Professional installation is recommended, and the existing suspension hardware should be inspected for wear during replacement.
