Because it does just what you said very well.
Same concept different way to do it.
My setup has the helper leaf "over" the axle so the more weight put on the back the more counter force is applied.
Side benefit of my setup is that it has "preloaded the rear" and therefore added around 50mm of height. (put the bend back in the leaf)
There is also 2 adjustment levels.
Not the best pic
For a leaf sprung ute there not a bad compromise.
I was keen to give "freds add a coil" a try but that does not give a lift. Or ask "Sam" on this forum, he fab'ed up some coils himself to assist in the rear of his triton- not sure if he went down this path on his new one however.
