If you're towing a travel trailer your MUCH better off adding a good weight distrubuting system rather than stronger springs. Using helpers will certainly prop up the rear of your truck but will do NOTHING to replace the weight LOST from the front axle and THAT is where your good handling will come from. Helpers are a great thing for towing 5th wheels or moving slide in campers but really not so good for travel trailers.
