Default Hellwig helper springs

Just added these to my truck. What a difference. It use to squat like a dog taking a dump whenever I put my trailer on or put anything over 200 lbs in the bed. Totally changed the truck.

Is that's the 2500 lbs version with the pro silent block? Are they quiet on bumps? I have heard good things about them and the superspring version with the rollers. I have used the supersprings and timbrens myself so far and some cheap helper spring over the years. Never a Hellwig, I was thinking to try them one day. Hope to here more of your review of them over the months. Thanks

I was looking into these Hellwig Helper springs with the silent ride blocks.
The HD Dayton helper springs are up there too in my preference.
I have the 2000 4.6 V8,

Do I have enough room for the arch on the Hellwig's as not to touch my u bolts ? I have about 2" to the top of the u bolts..
I upgraded my leaf springs to HD (5 Leafs)
here's a pic
