Door Spring

http://i663.photobucket.com/albums/u...0/DSC01492.jpg
Hey Guys, this is a pic of my door spring on a 80 F100. The kits I've seen show a different looking spring. Will this new spring work on my door? Thanks!

Do you mean this flat helper spring?

The application is correct.

Yes, does the other spring stay in place or does this replace it?

It's listed as a "helper" spring so I assume it is in addition to the existing spring.
My truck only has the flat spring so I have not used it in your application.

I was thinking I could lose the little "S" spring and just use the helper spring. But, I'm not sure?
