I was thinking about beefing up my rear leaf springs in my 06 2500hd. Can i buy a set of 3500 springs and put on my truck or will the helper springs work better.

I would just add a leaf. Thats what I did with my 2500hd. It raised the back end about 1.5-2 inches and the rear end is alot stiffer. 3500 springs are the same as 2500hd springs but there is just more of them. I think it was around 150-200 installed for an extra spring at the local spring shop.

I'd get airbags. $260 from truckspring and about 25min per side to install. I have it on my 06 2500 and love it.

Air Lift springs adjustable to the weight, plus set right they can even smooth the ride when empty. I can set them at 50 psi on my GMC 2500HD CC SB and have put as much as 65 50lb bags of ice melt plus a fifty gallon gas liquid ice melt sprayer in the bed all at the same time, short term and the truck rides level with the plow up. Good luckchev2500plow;472806 said:

This is the best money that I ever spent on my truck. Keep about 25 PSI per side in the winter and that baby sits level even when loaded with a ton of salt. Forget the springs or even timberns, they are great for the front but in the rear go with the bags. I bought 5000 pound bags for mine.PremierLand;476689 said:
