My 96 Caravan SE has developed a sag on the driver's side. The
left leaf spring has a different arc than the right one, leading me to
believe that it is the problem. I have ordered a set of helper springs
from Hellwig. These springs only attach to the rear half of the leaf springs,
behind the rear axle, and clamp to the top. I plan to crank up the tension
on the left/driver's side spring more than the right one to help
compensate for the one-sided sag issue. Think this will work??

Do you have ABS. If not, there is a sensor that adjusts the front to back brake ratio. The Hellwig will mess this up. If you have ABS, the sensor does not exist so the brakes should function normally.

I think I would hit the local junkyard and get a couple of rear springs.
