Helper Springs lowers rear end how much?

Read a number of threads on helper springs but was wondering how much it lowered the rear end. I have a PRG 2" and would hate to have it push the nose up any further. Good upgrade for a 05 Titan CC 4x4?

Seems to me several, including myself, report about 3/4" drop with the helper springs. The helper springs definitely helped some wheel hop on my truck when braking hard with a heavy load.

You can lower it with the shackles. How low do you want to go?? Or do you just wnt to put the helpers on without lowering it ??

I want to put them on to help w/THE BOUNCE but I don't want it to go any lower. I've lifted the front and the truck has a 1/2 inch rake and I like the look.

If you want to put the helper springs on you can put 1/2" to 3/4" inch spacer under your leaf springs to raise it back up. All you would need is a spacer and longer U BOLTS.

Too much trouble. Guess I'll just live w/it since it's not that bad.
