The aux springs will allow the truck to carry a heavier load without bottoming out on the primary springs. It also keeps the ride fairly stock without going over the heavier springs which will ultimately give you a rougher ride.
Be careful, however - if you want to haul heavy loads you will need to do more than get aux rear springs.
I have ridden in a 1 ton pickup made in 1950...gives a new meaning to the term "rough ride." Owner joked that if you drove the truck over the shadow of a power line over the road you could feel it in the ride...
Good luck.
