Heavy cargo or a loaded trailer can make your truck’s rear sag and throw off balance. The Hellwig Contact Helper Spring installs above your factory contact leaf springs to add stiffness right when the weight hits. It connects with the contact pad to deliver quicker load leveling support, helping your suspension carry the load without bottoming out or squatting. You keep your truck level so steering and braking stay steady even when it’s working hard.
Factory springs can only do so much under constant towing or hauling. This helper spring takes the strain off your original suspension, extending the life of your springs, tires, and brakes. It steps in as extra muscle when you need it most, keeping wear and tear down while maintaining the ride height and stability you count on every day.
Built from durable steel and finished in a silver vein hammer tone powder coat, this helper spring is ready for real-world use. The coating resists corrosion so it keeps performing season after season without rust or fatigue getting in the way. It’s designed for lasting performance you can rely on through heavy hauls and rough weather alike.
Adding extra support doesn’t have to be complicated. The Hellwig Contact Helper Spring bolts right onto your existing contact springs using the included mounting hardware—no special tools required. With its straightforward design, you can get it installed and ready to work in an afternoon using basic hand tools and a jack.

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at these Hellwig Contact Helper Springs. These custom contact helper springs are going to install above your vehicle's rear factory contact leaf springs. The added springs will connect with the contact pads, and help to increase your stiffness when under load, resulting in a quicker load leveling support. These are designed to work with your 2011 and through 2022 Ford F-350, 450 and 550s. We do have a vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com, so I would encourage you to use that.
You'll select your year, make, model, and we'll let you know which components are confirmed to work with your setup. So just make sure that your package, and all the other details, that this is gonna work with your vehicle before you order it. This is not going to increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity, so keep that in mind. But it will help to prevent sagging when you're towing or hauling heavy loads, to help extend the life of your factory suspension, tires, and brakes. These are very easy to get installed.
They will just bolt onto your factory contact springs with the included mounting hardware here. These are made here in the U.S.A. of a durable steel construction, so they are going to have a nice long-lasting performance for you. There's also a silver vein hammertone powder coat finish. It's gonna help resist corrosion, make sure that these last a nice long time.
They do come with a 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 addition for your Ford, give you that quick load-leveling capability. That completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.

My original review still rings true. This is the simplest, most reliable solution for a truck bed camper.

The Hellwig Contact Helper Spring # HE89FR will still allow sag. They are designed to give the overload springs more support once they are engaged. The best way to get rid of sag under heavy load is going to be with air bags. At least in my opinion. Have you considered going this route?
