Question Option codes

What is the deal with the helper springs?
Can I lower it with them on there?

You could remove them and sell them.

Cool, those are a good option to have, if you are driving a truck in the workforce. I've had some occasions where I wish I had a pair.
But you probably would drop some with them out.

You can wish in one hand and crap in the other.
See which one gets filled first.

If you are concerned about pay load, then lowering it is the wrong thing to do, onless you go with an air bacg set up, which then you'd want to get rid of them anyways.

How low do you think I can get it with the helpers?

I was thinking they are springs so its not like it will just bottom out (so long as there is some room after it is lowered).
