Helper And Tender Springs

Note: The quantity in stock updates each night at midnight. This doesn't include any orders that we've taken throughout the day.

Eibach helper and tender springs are used to prevent the main springs from becoming loose on the preload nut, spring divider, and bottom spring perch when the suspension is unloaded at full droop. See diagram below. At ride height when the vehicle is sitting on the ground, the helper/tender spring is fully compressed. When you launch the vehicle, the helper/tender spring prevents the spring just below it, from digging into the side of the shock. A helper, unlike a tender spring, has very little spring rate, and therefore has no effect on the suspension characteristics of the vehicle. Tender springs are thicker and supply more resistance.

On your average dual rate coil over shock such as King, Fox, or Sway-A-Way you'll need to run ANOTHER spring divider between your top spring and the helper/tender spring. On most shocks you'll need to remove the hose or Schrader valve at the top of the shock to slide on the additional spring divider. We can convert any shock to add the additional spring divider.
