F250 Helper Spring Mod

Many have found that their factory rear leaf springs are soft on their F250 which leads to a lot of sag when towing or carrying a load such as a truck bed camper. The factory overload leaf springs help dramatically but they engage too late, allowing the rear end to sag too much.

Many purchase aftermarket pads that cause the helper spring to engage earlier. Others permanently modify their vehicles or helper spring by welding thingsĀ  on to help the spring engage earlier. However, a more affordable and non permanent mod is to simply clamp on bump stops to the end of each leaf spring. This keeps the truck out of the helper spring unloaded while driving, but then engages 2.25 inches earlier preventing the factory sag when under even light loads.

Everything you need can be found on Amazon but parts could also be purchased locally.

You need 2x Pair of Universal Bump Stops, a Pack of 8 Stainless Steel bolt set, and 4x bolt plates.
