 Helper springs for F-150

Chris, I don't know about the helper springs; only time I used any was on a new '71 Chev. 3/4 ton (been awhile back). And would probably never do it again. Of course, there may be circumstances under which they can be worthwhile, but kinda like Tom said, you want to be careful and consider such things as the weight capacity of the axle, tires, wheels (an uncle of mine had a rim split once), and brakes. My recommendation would be to trade trucks for a heavier duty one, use a load distributing hitch and lift bars, or better distribute the load on the trailer.
