Default Hellwig Pros- will they raise your back end?

Hey everyone! I know, not another "leveling thread" but I'm trying to figure out how to get my rear end up. With my front springs, my front sits higher than the back. Its not a block, and it came that way. its a leveling strut set. The trajectory goes to heck with a heavy trailer on the back. So I'm trying to figure out the best affordable solution to get the back to raise 1-1.5" so that when its loaded a WDH will work right and it will run level. (My WDH manufacturer said that the wdh has a hard time overcome the back end being 4" lower than the front when loaded). I'm going to do either blocks or hellwig pros (or supersprings, but hellwig is winning for me at the moment). I'm not going to use air bags.

If Hellwig pros raise 1-1.5", i'll do it, problem solved, life is good. However, I cannot find this answer anywhere. If they don't, I'll settle for blocks to lift 1.5" or so.

Thanks!

What you should do is blocks and the Helwig helper springs. Helper springs will not raise the back end, they just help prevent squat. But that's only half of your problem, the other half is that your truck is already nose high.

I would get a small 1" or 2" block for the rear and helper springs if that's what you are wanting. (You might need new shocks too, depending on what your total lift is at that point.)

Thanks. I didn't think it really lifted it but there are videos that show about 1" higher with RAS and super springs about 1.5" higher unloaded.. Maybe I'll go with supersprings if it lifts the car more, but I thought hellwig worked about the same as supersprings just higher capacity. Willing to do the block lift AND hellwig, but supersprings may get the nod if thats the case.
