Hellwig Load Pro 35 Heavy Duty Helper Springs with Custom Mounting Kit - 3" Wide

Video Transcript for Review of Hellwig Vehicle Suspension - Rear Axle Suspension Enhancement - HE34TR

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at this Hellwig Load Pro 35 Heavy Duty Helper Spring Set with the custom mounting hardware. This custom helper spring set is going to install above your vehicle's rear factory leaf springs. They will flex with the leaf springs to help limit bouncing while providing optimal stability. So that's gonna help to reduce your sway and body roll. It's also going to help prevent any sagging when towing or hauling your heavy loads.

These do provide a 3,500-pound weight capacity. Now, when you hear that, it's very tempting to think that means it's going to increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. That's not the case. There's no suspension system on the market that's going to increase your weight carrying capacity. So think of these less like a second set of hands that's helping you lift more weight.

Think of them more like a back brace. So it's there to help take some of the strain off your factory suspension system. It's gonna help extend the life of not only your factory suspension, but also your tires and your brakes. These are gonna be very easy to get installed with the custom installation kit, and that kit is designed to make this very simple to put on the Rams and Ford vehicles that you see listed on the screen there. So if you have any of those, this is going to do a great job helping to support your factory suspension system.

Couple things to note. If your vehicle is equipped with a brake fluid proportioning valve, this consistent rate spring is not gonna be recommended. You'll want to get a progressive rate helper spring. That will work better for your system. If your vehicle is equipped with a factory contact overload, it may need to be removed before installing the new helper springs.

You will want to consult the installation guide to make sure. And these are not gonna be compatible with composite or plastic leaf springs and so you don't want to install them on a vehicle that has those composite leaf springs. The driver and passenger sides can be adjusted independently for your uneven load. So if you're gonna have a really heavy toolbox on one side or something like that, you can adjust the positioning to compensate for that. And these are made here in the USA of a very durable steel construction. So that's going to ensure a nice long-lasting performance. They do have this silver vein hammer-toned powdercoat finish that's going to prevent corrosion. Will last really well for you. These do come with a limited lifetime warranty, so if you we're to have any issues with them, you're more than welcome to reach out to us here at etrailer.com. But overall, I think this is gonna be a great upgrade to your suspension system, helps you prolong the life of your factory system, your tires, brakes, that sort of thing. That completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.
