Helwig overleaf springs installed

I installed a set of helwig overleaf springs on my 2019 f-450

the helwig set is a left over from a vehicle a few priors ago.

there are two leafs per side. I experimented with using one or both.

due to the weight of my cap, decked drawers, and 60” bed box …with all my stuff in them…using both leaf’s was spot on.

my recollection is that they provide 1400 or 2800 reverse spring force.

Interesting that the frame bumper is engaged on only one end of the spring. I only recently heard about these. My 22 F350 DRW squats about 3" with Supersway stops engaging the overload spring when I carry my heavy camper. For the low $ cost, the Helwig's may be a reasonable solution for a truck that will often/always carry a heavy load. Let us know how they ride.
