How do you tell if your Astro has a composite rear leaf spring?
I have a 2000 Astro and bought a pair of Hellwig Helper springs to prevent sagging when I tow my camper. It states not to install on Astros with composite leaf springs!!??

The composite springs are one rather thick piece. The metal springs are made u[ of multiple layers steel. Get a magnet. I'm quite confident that your 2000 model van would have steel springs though....
