Any problems if the spring is mounted on top of the axle?

I mounted these on a 98 Explorer which has the leaf springs mounted on the bottom of the axle, and they worked fine. If the Explorer's leaf springs were mounted on top of the axle the helper was mounted far enough rearward that it would not have interfered with the standard Ford mounting bracket and hardware. Hope this helps.

Don't know if there's room. I mounted under and it done such a good job that I added a second pair. You'll need to see for yourself if there's room.

I'm not aware of what problems have been reported about the spring mechanism, but I have experienced no problems with it.

Not normal. Large spring on the vertical shaft should keep it centered. Spring force is less near the middle but it should always re-center.

No, it relies on the tension of the spring when you have it in the open position.

All I can say is, These springs work great. Be careful to install the springs in the same location and with the same tension on your truck springs.I have used many types of overload springs, none have worked as well

I have not had any problems. The wheels are very sturdy and placed properly for balance.

No because of the way the bracket is. Unless you screw it to the top of the truck

I kind of think that you will need to remove the airbags in order to mount these helper springs, as they sit on top of the existing springs. Sort of where the airbag sits.

howdy you would mount the springs just below the frame rail so when the vehicle squats from a load the springs will pick it up..

No because I've hung the rack low enough so that the bottom wheel rests on the floor. I guess if I've hung the rack higher, then the front wheel might incur some damage.

It should be fine! The spring adjusts and with the weight of the baby, I haven't had a problem with it so far!!

The add a leaf is almost full length it is about 4" short of the ends and with a load it will cause the original spring to start to bend around the end. Keep the load to a modest weight and it would be just fine.

As long as there is clearance to install them, a leaf spring is a leaf spring. The only real issue would be bolt diameter for your springs. These holes might be bigger

Yes, just relocate the tension springs away from any ports you need to get to. I also removed the top bracket and replaced it with a tension spring. As a safety precaution I used a wire tie to secure the MU350R.

Unlikely since the coil spacing on typical rear springs is more than the thickness of the spacers. The spacers increase ride height by forcing the coils apart which increases the springs effective length and rate. If they don't touch adjacent coils there will be no impact and will fall out. This product is essentially limited to front springs. The lowest dollar solution for trailer load sagging is air shocks. Air shocks have a small impact on handling but the benefit is a "level" vehicle loaded and unloaded which helps maintain headlight aim.

Please do not stretch the springs. They are factory set to a high tolerance. you will cause the device to work incorrectly and likely fail the annual inspection.

No that should not be happening. If it is there is a problem.It should spring back to its zero position.
