Pa Farmer, I was in your situation with my 3600. Last year I installed a helper spring in my front spring packs for less than $40.00. That with a couple more things made my truck MUCH better.

Link to writeup here.


Added in edit: just checked my old post and the helper spring I used is not available on Ebay as linked. However

Amazon has it here.

The helper spring, β€œPro Comp add a leaf 13170” is 1.75” wide which works for my 3600. Your 3800 may be wider, if so and you want to go with this mod, wider helpers are readily available.

Good Luck, RonR
