WDH plus Helper Springs?
I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500. It's a bit long in the tooth, but it does most of what I want, and most importantly at the moment, has no payments! I pull my Passport Ultralight with no problems using...

I've used a WDH, and helper springs, but never both at the same time. I do think you would need to back the WDH off a little, depending on the strength of the added springs. The hr spgs will lift the back a little, returning some weight to front.

UHH NO!. Helper springs may lift the back of the truck. But they will NOT return lost weight to the front of the truck. That is what a WDH does.
UHH, yes, a little, compared to not having the added springs, and the WDH returns weight back to TV front, as well as some back to trailer axles. It will work once set up properly.:)

nope. It don't work that way. Springs can level, or even raise the rear. But they will NOT return lost weight to the front axle. You would just have a level truck, with a light front axle. The weight would only be returned when the WDH is applied. In fact. IF you adjust the WDH before you raise the rear. The added springs will unload the front axle with the WDH applied.
Same thing as air bags. You got to adjust the WDH AFTER you raise the rear.
