Air helpers on leaf-spring trucks
Air helper springs add support between the leaf springs and the frame, so the rear can carry a load without sagging. They do not replace worn leaf springs or shocks. Their effect depends on the pressure set for the load, and a truck with worn leaf packs may still feel loose even with the helpers at the right setting.
Leaf-spring trucks often benefit from a periodic check of the mounts, the air lines and the shock condition. Inspect the bracket bolts after the first few drives, and look for rubbing where the lines leave the bag. Keep the springs free of road grime so the bag surfaces stay in good shape. Adjusting pressure before a trip can help keep the ride comfortable.
- Check mount bolts after first drives
- Look for rubbing at line exits
- Inspect leaf packs for sag
