Yes they are, not my truck. I'm putting traction bars on it for a guy and it's got air bags too but he wanted alittle more so I figured that was worth a shot!

there is a lot of DIY ways to accomplish the early engagement of the overloads top and

I have billet blocks on my lower flat overload so it engages the spring pack earlier
when it flattens out as with my lift springs none of the off the shelf stuff would work

Hellwig Big Wig part# that is shown in my pics is 7294 which is for my 2016 4x4 DRW (1 5/16" bar diameter). The front part number for 2011-2016 4x4 trucks is 7712, it doesn't matter SRW or DRW.

The 7282 is a Big Wig rear bar for '11-'12 4x4 DRW trucks.

I know kind of off topic, but my 02 f250 sat real close to the top overloads, and when I'd hook up my 24' enclosed car trailer, it sat the truck just on top of them. Terrible when there was no weight in it, throw 5k in the trailer and it rode perfect. When I lifted the truck, I put airbags because those stiff ass bone jarring 6" lift springs sagged like a 1/2 ton when loaded. But..there was no overload spring jarring, when I lowered the truck back down, I ordered the spring packs without the top overload, and it was perfect, rather I hadthe empty trailer, or was grossing 25k with 75psi in the bags. I kinda learned to hate those little bastards for a plusher ride when pulling an empty trailer. My '00 didn't have overloads on top, and honestly, it seemed to be able to take more weight than my 02 could before it would sit on the bottom overload.

Top one was stock suspension with the top overloads on stock suspension with my '02, grossing 21k, 11k in the trailer, maybe 4klbs before the axles, 6k directly on the axles, and another 1k behind them. I meticulously loaded this to balance it lol. Lot more squat to it than you can see.

The bottom is my 00 with no top overloads, a full pallet of grass, 12 bags of mulch, some trim for flower beds, and a few bags of potting soil. Better dispersed between front and rear axles I know, but it barely laid the spring pack on the bottom overload.
