When you’ve got a trailer hooked up or the bed full of gear, the rear end shouldn’t sag. These Hellwig EZ-990 helper springs add 2,000 lbs of load-leveling support above your factory leaf springs to keep your truck sitting level and stable. By reducing squat and sway, steering and braking stay steady even when you’re towing or hauling light loads.
Heavy loads can make a truck feel rough over bumps, but these helper springs move with your factory leaf springs to keep the ride controlled. They flex as the suspension moves, cutting down bounce and helping your tires stay planted for better stability. It’s a simple way to make towing and hauling feel more confident without a harsh ride.
Sometimes the weight isn’t perfectly even—maybe tools on one side or a water tank on the other. The EZ-990 lets you fine-tune tension on each side using adjustable U-bolts so you can level things out. Driver’s and passenger’s sides can be set independently, keeping your truck balanced no matter how the load sits.
You don’t need special tools or major modifications to get these helper springs installed. They bolt right above your factory leaf springs using the included mounting hardware. Once in place, they strengthen your suspension setup without changing how it’s built, extending the life of your factory springs, tires, and brakes while delivering solid support every time you load up.
A real suspension upgrade should be ready for years of work. The Hellwig EZ-990 springs are made from durable steel and finished with a silver vein hammer tone powder coat that resists corrosion. That means they hold strong through weather, miles, and heavy use—performance that stays dependable long after the first haul.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Hellwig's EZ-990 above axle helper springs for small trucks and SUVs. Now this is a custom fit part. This will fit many models of the Dodge, Ford, GM, and Toyota trucks, and SUVs. And because it fits so many different models, I do recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show you if this will work for your application. Now these are custom helper springs.
These will upgrade your factory leaf springs to reduce sway and body roll. They'll help prevent sagging when you're towing or hauling light loads, and they'll extend the life of your factory suspension, tires, and brakes. These will flex with the leaf springs to limit bouncing while providing optimal stability. And what's nice, I want to zoom in and show you these U bolts here that you install them with. They can be adjusted to suit different loads.
The drivers and the passenger sides can be adjusted independently for uneven loads. And it's a very easy install. You bolt these above your factory leaf springs. As we mentioned, the mounting hardware you can see here is included, does come with a nice set of instructions. These are durable steel construction.
They ensure long lasting performance and they do have a nice finish to them, sort of a unique finish. Zoom in on that. If you look on the end here, this whole spring has what they call a silver vein hammer tone powder coat finish. That'll help resist corrosion, gives it a nice look to it. And these parts are made in the USA.
A few specs on this. The weight capacity is 2000 pounds. One thing I do wanna mention is these Hellwig helper springs will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. But that should do it for the review on the Hellwig EZ-990 above axle helper springs for small trucks and SUVs.

Glad to hear they are helping, Thomas! Looks like you have a pretty good amount of weight back there as well, so that's quite the compliment! ^___^ What kind of bike is that? Couldn't tell from the picture.
