Leaf springs shot, would a helper spring be worth it?

T680. Over $3000 to replace front leaf springs. Omg. Would a helper spring be worth doing? If not im gonna add airbags. Aint spending $3000 plus for 2 leaf springs. With new shocks it constantly hits bump stop and rides rough. Especially empty cos springs are so flimsy and makes hard to steer.

 

If I think I can tackle it I will to save money. I was actually leaning to an addon airbag. Do you not like them. It’s definitely alot cheaper

 

The fromt end shop told me re arching wouldnt last and that helpers spring wouldnt resolve my issue. Dont know but i wud think helper springs would help alot

 

Oh and yes installed. Just parts are around $2000 and quoted $1000 to do the work

 

Well kenworth quoted near 800 per side jus for 2 leaf setup and that dont include pins or ubolts which im told need replaced at same time. That’s ridiculous. Labor is retarded too. I guess it takes a trained man with all the equipment 8-10 hours to do both sides. I think i could do it in a day with the tools and ive never done it

 

Well maybe autoparts store rents a tool to do the pins and bushings. Probably gonna give it a whirl if i can find affordable sorings
