Hey guys, I drive a 2000 gmc jimmy and I have a nice sized stereo in the back of my jimmy and it weighs about 500-600 pounds. My rear end sags horribly. I purchased a rough country 2.5" lift kit and I am waiting to put it on. But my question is, will this lift work if I install helper springs or add a leaf? Would add a leaf bring me back up to level? Or should I just get helper springs? Thanks guys

 

Aal's or shackles will help.

I already bought shackles but I was wondering if those helper springs would work with shackles?

Or these ones? Do add a leafs work with shackles?

 

Those helper springs aren't for your jimmy. They are full size.

This is quoted from their site:

According to their vehicle search thing, it fits? But would any type of helper spring or add a leaf kits work with shackles??

Would these fit??

Wait until you install the 2.5" lift. If your rear end is still sagging, go to the gym and start working those glutes.

Err...sorry, got off topic there. AAL's and helper springs are basically the same thing. The amount of lift you get from them may vary from other's experiences.

 

Haha alright, but if she still sags, will aal work with my shackles I'm putting on?

 

Yes, they will work fine.

 

Alright thanks guys!
