My friend gave me a set of brand new rear Trail Master Helper springs. I have a 1987 Pickup and was wondering if they would fit it. The helper springs do not have any vehicle application names on the box. I do know that the new spring bolts on top of the old ones with a bolt going through the sprrings. Do the stock toyota springs have a hole in the middle of them??? If they do then i could use these helper springs. Any help appreciated.

Every leaf spring pack I have ever encountered has that hole in the middle with a bolt going through it. It both locates the spring and keeps the leaves aligned.

Have you measured how wide your helper spring is compared to the Toy springs? They'd need to fit between the Ubolts.

That cap screw that goes through the springs might not be long enough with the helpers, you might need to be able to break away from the job for a run to a hardware store. I'd make sure you have another way to get there while the truck is apart.

Otherwise, there is no way to know if this will work or give you the results you want, you'll just have to try it and see if you like it.
