The springs are Hellwig progressive 2500#. Installed on our 2000 F250 7.3 4x4. A little more than one hour per side and no wheel removal necessary. They supplement the Firestone Ride-rite airbags. I wanted to combine the good of both for any load or trailer we might carry in the future. The springs are set to the lightest assist and still have the locknuts biting all the threads. The truck rides very well unloaded and probably a little higher than before although I didn't measure the pre-install.
I have the Bigwig sway bar and adjustable Rancho's on the rig. Vision 19.5 and load range G tires. Gosh it still rides very nice. I will have a loaded report eventually.
The camper is a '04 Lance 820 with all options.

I was just looking at these; it'd be great to hear how they ride loaded...

So did you get rid of your factory overloads and frame bumps?

I can't see your install photo. How do they install in conjunction with the airbags?

I didn't have overloads as original equipment. The springs are completely independent from the airbags, so no conflicts.
