I cam across some assist shocks for cheap. I don't know if they actually do anything it says it gives any extra 500lbs of load on each shock and supposed to give a little lift idk but they sit at the same height as the old ones. that said i'm running helper bags any ways to help keep the load level. and its way cheaper then replacing the old leaf springs.

the steel wheels have a slightly deeper offset so I needed to make sure they fit. I have about an inch of room

I ended up going with dodge style u bolts so I had to redo the helper bag mounts.
