Adds strength, does not lift

These helpers gave the blade strength, which I completely underestimated. My xj felt soft during road dips. Not so much now. That makes the ride a little more difficult. Same ground clearance so don't look for a lift. Definitely worth the money

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • The list will go on.

Added to my 08 Z71 Colorado. Easy installation, less than 20 minutes, including a second set in front of and behind the rear axle. Added about 1-1.5 inches of buoyancy per year with no load, no noticeable sag or drop when towing my 16 foot aluminum fishing boat.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Functionality

Auxiliary springs work well, but check your clearance before purchasing.

These wizards work well. I tried to install them on a 2000 Chrysler. Urban and countryside. The springs added plenty of strength and almost an inch of headroom. However, the leaf springs of these vans are very close to the tires. After adding helpers, it became clear that the shackles and plates were too close to the tires to safely steer them. THEY WILL NOT WORK ON 1996-2000 Chrysler Town and Country Vans.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Non-Automatic

They work! - Shocks, Struts & Suspension

I was a bit reluctant to "quick fix" my sagging leaf springs, but the spring helpers worked as advertised. They gave me an extra inch of buoyancy (maybe even a little more). I would say they have cured 75% of my rear tire issues which have been good at breaking a wheel when going over bumps in the road. The ride is great - not too hard like I've heard some people say. I'll measure again in a month to see if I'm losing buoyancy. Significantly cheaper than buying new leaf springs.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • I'll write back

Disappointing is an understatement

Let me start by saying that I installed it today and was utterly disappointed to find the U-bolts were soft metal that bent instantly and the panels were flimsy and almost not strong enough they also bent and let's talk about the lock washers, when the nut was tightened the washer under the nut splattered to the side! The only part that seemed worth the money was the booster spring, the hardware was rubbish and frankly not worth a dime fork. Buy at your own risk, you have been warned!

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Weight

Revainrating 5 out of 5

They worked great, now I can put another three hundred pounds in them.

The sagging rear of a 2003 Astro Van is no longer a problem. I currently have a decent weight on the shelves and if I had filled the tank before the springs were installed it would have popped on bumps. They worked great, now I can pack another 300 pounds in the van while cruising down the road on a full tank and the suspension feels as stiff as new. Better to change and spend money on new leaf springs. Installation wasn't difficult, I did it in 15 minutes.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure
