I bought this "helper spring" item #70-1560 from PEP Boys.
It's boxed in pairs, labelled "Leaf Helper Spring" and described as: For use with 1-3/4", 2", 2 1/2" rear leaf spring to prevent sagging.
Website on the box is www.americanautoacc.com. However, it is not used to prevent sagging in this "mod" and it is installed at a different location on the leafspring.

It is installed above the spring, behind the axle like the photo below when used in conjuction with the "red traction spring" to minimize the "downward movement of the leaf" behind the axle during hard acceleration to control axle wrap.
