Arse-desagging complete. Put the helper spring leaf on with it mounted close to the axle. While it did help with the ride, it didn't help with the sagging that much. So I moved them rearward closer to the rear spring perch. This brought the rear up, and kept it there with a passenger sitting in the car. Car rides much nicer now and I can get in the driveway without scrapping. Take about 5 mins a side to install once the car is in the air supported by the frame with jack stands. The rear axle needs to hang.

Part number is Superior 11-1020 Leaf Helper Springs. There are adjustable from 500-1500 lbs of "help".
