TowRig.com - Diesel Discussion and Tow Tech

Well after having a "tow rig" for 3 years im finally getting a trailer for the K5. Had some questions about helper springs, any info about good or bad types, brands if they are even needed. I will be using a 02 2500HD with the 6.0 I know its a small gasser so any good ideas there i'll take too, thanks. Paul

Why do you want helper springs? Seeing how it's a 3/4 ton truck I think the stock setup should be adequit with a tailer and K5.

If you look at the rating, they are much higher than what you normaly see in what would be called a 3/4 ton truck.

In any case, don't worry about it until you try it. I have mine completely stock and tow my junk all over the place with no trouble. It's way more than capable of the less than 7k load your talking about.

Thanks guys,waytogo
