What It Helps Address

  • Rear sag from worn or weakened leaf spring components

  • Uneven ride height at the back of the truck
  • Loss of spring pack support on heavy-duty Ford F-350 use
  • Need for a replacement rear helper spring with OE-style fit

Installation Notes and Tips

Install on the rear suspension only and verify the vehicle has the listed 5-leaf pack thickness and dual rear wheel configuration before ordering. Compare the original spring dimensions and mounting points to confirm proper alignment. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the required hardware separately as needed. Professional installation is recommended for suspension components.
