What is wrong with using leaf type helper springs to raise the rear the little bit that the OP wants?
Because it's a crutch and the cheap ones make it handle squirrelly.
.there are some areas you shouldn't cheap out on, brakes and suspension being in the top of that list
To bash an entire product line based on the cheapest ones available is disingenuous.
So how about the Hellwig brand of helper springs? They are American made, family owned, known for quality, and are not cheap. As for being 'a crutch', when properly applied, adding a half leaf helper is no more of a 'crutch' than adding a full leaf to a set of springs. Both are in reality helper springs. In fact, most of our Mopars came with half leafs from the factory. Those are essentially half leaf helpers. Proving that helper springs, when used correctly, most certainly have a place on our cars. Plus, the Hellwigs have the advantage of being adjustable.
So what is wrong with adding a quality American made half leaf that is fully adjustable?
