Will helper springs raise the height of a pickup?

Yes, helper springs can raise the height of a pickup truck. Helper springs are additional springs that are installed in conjunction with the existing leaf springs to provide extra support and increased load-carrying capacity. They are commonly used to prevent the rear end of a pickup from sagging when loaded with heavy cargo or towing a trailer. By adding helper springs, the rear suspension is reinforced, preventing it from drooping and maintaining a higher ride height.

The amount of lift provided by helper springs can vary depending on the specific design of the springs and the weight they are designed to support. Some helper springs are designed to provide a mild lift, while others are more heavy-duty and can raise the rear end of the pickup significantly. It's important to choose helper springs that are appropriate for the intended use and the weight capacity of the pickup truck.

Installing helper springs typically involves placing them between the leaf springs and the axle, and securing them with U-bolts or other appropriate hardware. It's recommended to consult with a professional or refer to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper installation.

Overall, helper springs can be an effective solution to raise the height of a pickup truck and improve load-carrying capacity, making it more suitable for hauling or towing heavy loads.
