Question:
Hello I was looking for a way to better my suspension on my work truck. It has a utility bed on it full of tools and sometimes carries fuel in fuel tank 100 gallon. and sometimes pulls a trailer for a short while once a year with heavy tounge weight. Which helper springs would work best for this situation? It’s a 2002 f250 power stroke. Thanks

Expert Reply:
Hey Nick! It looks like you already have the Timbren SES # TFR250SDE on your F-250. Assuming that is correct, the Hellwig Contact Helper Spring # HE89SR would be the best option for your current setup.
The Timbren system is already providing additional load support, while the Hellwig Contact Helper Spring works with the factory overload springs. Together, they will further reduce sag and improve stability when carrying your tools, fuel tank, and towing your trailer without dramatically changing the unloaded ride quality.
What kind of trailer are you towing?
