When towing a small trailer or hauling tools, the rear end can start to sag. The Hellwig EZ-1000 Helper Springs add up to 1,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity above your factory leaf springs to keep your ride height even. By sharing the load, they help maintain balance and steering control while protecting suspension, tires, and brakes from early wear.
When corners or crosswinds push your truck around, these helper springs step in to keep things steady. The custom design works with your factory leaf springs to reduce sway and body roll so your truck feels more planted through turns or uneven roads. The springs flex with your suspension to smooth out bounce and improve overall handling.
Every job is different, and these helper springs let you set them up to match. The U-bolts can be adjusted to suit the weight you’re carrying, and each side can be tuned independently to handle uneven loads. Whether one side of the bed is heavier than the other or you’re changing between loads, you can fine-tune the support for a level stance.
You don’t need special tools or shop time to get these springs working. The EZ-1000 system bolts directly above your factory leaf springs using included mounting hardware. The straightforward bolt-on setup makes it simple for DIY installers to add reliable suspension support in an afternoon.
Daily loads and rough roads demand strong gear. These Hellwig helper springs are made from durable steel for long-lasting performance, finished in a silver vein hammer tone powder coat that resists corrosion. Once installed, they’re ready to handle years of towing and hauling without losing their edge.

Haven't installed yet. Missing hardware. It's annoying. Will edit review when installed.
Great addition to my sumo springs on a 02 Sonoma
Would give 5 stars but the hardware could have been better quality the thread on several u-bolts came cut pretty rough making starting the nuts quite difficult once on the rest was simple
