Default helper springs

So the po installed these helper springs since he towed a weekend warrior trailer with the xj. What I'm wondering is if I remove these will my leafs begin to sag? I'm trying to get a better ride in the rear. Currently it has a straight up and down shackle and these helper spring things which I think are the main culprits for the rough ride.

Anybody?? I don't know much about leaf springs but it just seems like theses helpers wouldn't be all that beneficial unless I'm actually towing heavy heavy weights. Which I'm not. Maybe a small flat bed with some dirtbikes or my motorcycle hitch hauler.

wouldn't hurt to take them off and take it down the road. If they are needed then you can put them back on. just my .02
