Hey everyone,so I recently put the 2.5 inch RC leveling kit with 1 inch blocks on my 13 FX4. Jw if anybody knows if I'd have an issue adding a helper spring on top of those. I should have just bought the kit with only the front spacers. Instead I got the whole set. Does anybody have any tips for me or know of it'll be alright putting the helpers on as well as the new blocks? Thanks guys

Adding a leaf is the way to go if you carry a constant load. Helpers just cause a preload on the main leaf that will come back at you. If you just load every now and then look at the Helwig kits. Another option is a Air Bag system that works well, but with a constant load you would be running with them pumped up most of the time...Harsh ride, They ( The Spring Shop ) can add a #2 leaf ( right under the main leaf )to your springs and you will maintain your ride and Rearch the spring to set level. one leaf will increase your payload 1000Lbs, I owned a Spring shop for 27 years. I use to sell Ride Rite and there a great air system. He should remember I think I was one of his first Dist on the east coast. VA Spring & Alignment.. Wave the hand for me..
