This isn't something that is commonly done. The "helper" springs don't really help much. I've had 4000 lbs in my bed, and they weren't down on the pads... yet!
'
The other thing is that they are only serviced with the entire spring assembly, they are not an addon part from the dealer that I know of. A spring shop may be of more help. You should be able to get the bracket/pads from the dealer and bolt them on however.

Oh, and we were all just holding out on the info to make you nervous....

Some of the snow plow prep packages have rear auxillary springs. Does his truck have the snow plow prep package?

You'd probably be better off if you put air bags on the rear axle.
