Upper Stable Load spacer
2001 Ford F250, stock upper overload with StableLoads. The front one is hard on the leaf when the camper is on, the rear one just touches, and slaps the leaf when hitting bumps. So I made a couple spa...

Thanks. Very interested to see how it works out for you.
I put the camper on yesterday to see how much the rear springs will sag with the Hellwig overloads installed and was pleased to notice only about 1 1/8 inch difference between unloaded vs. loaded (with Bigfoot 2500 10.6 - 11,900# ) :C
Road-test perhaps tomorrow.
How far away from the upper Stable loads are the Hellwig springs? On my truck I'm thinking they may touch at ride height and be too stiff. May have to trim the Stable loads.
When unloaded, the Hellwig front ends are touching the front Stable loads but the rear ends have 5/8 inch space in-between!
When driving the truck unloaded as is with the Hellwig's, I did not notice any difference in ride. I agree - easy to trim the Stable loads, but do not see any need to do so!
I am pretty sure if I removed the shorter Hellwig springs, the fronts would not be touching the Stable loads at all (please see the photo in my earlier post).
