good.
My previous 2nd gen '01 2500 Dodge/Cummins had the upper aux overload spring pack. I've had 6800 lbs GN hitch weight over the axle on the '01 and had no sag.
My 3rd gen '03 has no upper aux overload springs and sags with 1500 lbs over the axles. Hell the wifes 1500 chevy crew cab 4x4 Z71 will carry 1600 lb of redi mix bags over its small axle and doesn't sag anything like my 3rd gen '03 2500 truck.
I've gone to Supersprings on my '03 2500. Supersprings are just like the spring in your picture other than its a flat spring but does the same thing. Lots of aftermarket products out here to help a pickup trucks soft riding suspension ability to carry more weight.
If your interested in rear suspension mods higher ratyed wheels and tires check out our TC (truck camper) forum. Those guys safely carry 3k-4k-5k TC's on 250/2500 and 350/3500 SRW trucks.
