RE: leaf spring helpers?

[62pluckedchicken@xxxxxxxxx]

Got the picutre.. Thanks

One of the things people wrote in reviews, was it lifted sagging rear 
ends... maybe I'll just wait and live with the rear as is, until I do 
the rear suspension

was kind's hopeing to go to the Columbus Mopar event.. but as slow as 
the front end parts are coming in, and the rear still to do.. maybe next 
year.. seems time always runs short when there's something you wanna do 
;)
