Heavy trailers or bed loads can make the rear end sag and throw off handling. The Hellwig EZ-990 Helper Springs add up to 2,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity to keep your vehicle level when towing or hauling light loads. By upgrading your factory leaf springs, they help maintain a steady stance so your steering, braking, and headlight aim stay right where they should.
Every bump, curve, and crosswind puts stress on your suspension. These helper springs flex with your factory leaf springs to reduce sway and body roll while limiting bounce. The result is better ride stability and control whether you’re pulling a small trailer or carrying uneven cargo in the bed.
Loads aren’t always the same from one trip to the next. With adjustable U-bolts, you can fine-tune spring tension to match what you’re hauling. Each side can be set independently to handle uneven loads, keeping your truck balanced and confident even when gear is off center.
You don’t need a shop full of tools to get these helper springs in place. The EZ-990s use an easy bolt-on design that mounts above your factory leaf springs without interfering with existing hardware. Step-bracket style leaves clear factory components for a clean fit, and all required mounting hardware is included for straightforward installation.
From daily hauls to weekend trips, these springs are made to last. Heavy-duty steel construction paired with a silver vein hammer tone powder coat finish resists corrosion and keeps performance consistent over time. Hellwig backs it all with a lifetime warranty for lasting peace of mind.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at these Hellwig Ez-990 Helper Springs. Now these helper springs are going to fit numerous different types of vehicles so please take advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will let you know if these will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. These custom helper springs with a load leveling capacity of 2000 pounds are going to upgrade your factory leaf springs installing above your vehicle's rear factory leaf springs to reduce sway and body roll while preventing sagging when towing or hauling different loads, they're going to extend the life of your factory suspension, tires, and brakes and these springs will flex with your leaf springs to limit bouncing while providing optimal stability. Now these U-bolts can be adjusted to suit different loads.
The driver's and passenger's sides can be adjusted independently for uneven loads. And these springs are made here in the USA of a durable steel construction which is going to ensure long lasting performance. And they feature a silver vein hammer tone powder coat finish, that's going to help resist corrosion. And this is again, a bolt-on installation above your vehicle's rear factory leaf springs. The step bracket style leaf avoids contact with factory hardware and the mounting hardware is included.
And as you can see, I have assembled the U-bolts and the hardware just to kind of give you an idea of where the hardware's gonna go on the springs when you are installing these. Instructions are included to walk you through the installation process. And again, these do have a weight capacity of 2000 pounds. However, be aware that these helper springs will not actually increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. And also, one final note I wanna make.
These are not going to be compatible with vehicles that have composite or plastic leaf springs. Because of the durability and the robust nature of these springs, they could potentially crack or damage your composite or plastic leaf springs. So again, if your vehicle does have composite or plastic leaf springs, these helper springs are not going to be compatible. So Hellwig does put a lifetime warranty on these springs. And that's gonna wrap up our look today.
I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

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.
