Big loads can make the rear of your truck squat and throw off steering and braking. The Hellwig Load Pro 35 Heavy Duty Helper Springs add up to 3,500 lbs of load-leveling support above your factory leaf springs to keep things even. They reduce sag when towing or hauling so your ride height stays level, your handling feels natural, and your truck looks ready for real work.
When the road gets rough or a turn sneaks up, these helper springs flex with your leaf springs to keep the ride smooth and stable. That means less body roll, less bounce, and a more planted feel when towing a trailer or carrying heavy gear. You stay in control whether you’re on the highway or backing into a campsite.
You don’t need to rebuild your suspension to handle heavier loads. These heavy-duty helper springs bolt right above your factory leaf springs using the included mounting hardware. The straightforward install makes it simple for anyone who likes to do their own upgrades—no complicated setup required.
Tough jobs demand parts that can take a beating. The Hellwig Load Pro 35 is built from durable steel and finished in a silver vein hammer tone powder coat that resists corrosion. Once installed, it’s built to deliver consistent load support season after season while helping extend the life of your factory suspension, tires, and brakes.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look together at this Hellwig Load Pro 35 above axle heavy-duty helper spring kit. Now these springs have been designed to fit your 2015 to current Ford E-Series Cutaway E-450, then your 1997 to 2014 Ford Van E-450. On custom-fit parts such as the springs, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer. Pop in the year, make, and model of your vehicle, answer any other questions that it might have for you, and that fit guide will confirm if this kit will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you.
So this is a set of helper springs that are designed specifically for your Ford van and Ford E-Series Cutaway. So it's gonna bolt right onto existing mounting points. There's no complicated modifications that are gonna be needed. It comes with all the hardware that you're gonna need to install this into place. And what it really does is give your suspension extra support when you're hauling or towing.
This is rated to handle up to 3,500 pounds of load, which is gonna help keep your truck sitting level instead of sagging in the back. That's gonna make a big difference for steering, braking, and overall control. After you get these installed, you will notice a more stable ride, it's gonna help cut down on sway, bounce, and body roll, especially on those rough roads or when you've got a heavy load in your cargo area behind you. Now, because it's sharing the workload with your factory suspension, this is going to help reduce wear and tear on your springs, tires, and brakes over time. Installation's gonna be pretty straightforward as well.
It's a bolt-on setup, and you're gonna get instructions to guide you through the installation process. And again, this is going to mount above your existing leaf springs, and it comes with the hardware to get that installed above your springs and all the U-bolts and everything. Now there is a few things that I wanted to mention before we wrap up our time together. If your vehicle has a brake fluid proportioning valve, this type of constant rate springs isn't recommended. You're going to want the progressive spring instead.
And also, if you do have a factory overload spring, it may need to be removed first. And this setup is not designed to work with composite or plastic leaf springs because this is such a, this kit is so heavy duty, it could fracture or completely damage those composite or plastic leaf springs. So you must be sure that you don't have those as well. Now, if you are looking for help with installation, we have you covered there. On this product page, underneath the Photo section, we have a link to our installer locator. Click that link and answer the questions that it has for you, and that locator will find an installer in your area that etrailer has partnered with to do the work for you. Well, I think it'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.

Wow, 2 months in Alaska? That must have been beautiful. Would I be correct in assuming you got a front row view of the Northern Lights during your trip?

I wish we did too, Otis! The problem is that we have multiple warehouses. We don't stock everything at our Wentzville location where we used to offer will call which caused problems. We decided that although it's a great idea, we shouldn't do it if we can't do it right.
