Helper Springs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I put 3"drop springs on the rear of my truck and 2" on the front.My question is, are my helper springs that are on the rear going to be a problem? I have the frame hanging from the cherry picker and there is only 1-3/4" between the bumpers and the helper spring.I am thinking this is going to be a problem when I get the truck on the ground and add the weight of the bed.Has anyone else dealt with this? Thanks

You need to remove the helper springs, they will keep you from dropping. Brian
