Well I can confirm that the spring assisters work 100% with no bottoming out at all, very happy now, just might reinstall the air suspension now :)

Used both the donut type and auxilary springs on previous cars and in my opinion the best option by far are the auxilary springs by MAD that fit inside your main coils .These have the advantage of not being under load when driving solo but give good ride leveling when towing.Not cheap at over a ton a set but can be removed to use on other cars/sold or just left in a shed gathering dust( sounds familiar) .

Bought some spring assisters but not sure how to fit does the cable tie go through both rubber loops and then around coil on spring or just through one loop.

Mine didnt come with cable ties so cant help you on that but I would imagine they would attach to 1 part of the spring and not through both rubber rings otherwise it would stop the spring from working Id imagine....
