I went ahead and installed the helper springs which raised the rear of the car by almost 2 inches, making it more level and greatly improving the view over the hood.
It rides great on smooth roads, but I did notice some "clunking" in the rear whenever I hit a small bump or pothole. I think the helper springs have stiffened up the leaf springs rear of the axle.
