Features to know about

Keep Your Truck Level Under Load: 2,500-lb Load-Leveling Capacity

Heavy trailers and bed loads can make your truck sag and throw off its balance. These Hellwig Pro Series Helper Springs add up to 2,500 lbs of load-leveling capacity above your factory leaf springs to keep your ride height level when towing or hauling. With firmer support under load, your truck stays stable and confident instead of squatting or bottoming out.

Smooth Ride and Less Bounce: Progressive Rate Spring Design

A stiff suspension isn’t much fun when you’re running empty. These helper springs use a progressive rate that automatically adjusts to the weight on your truck. They flex with your factory leaf springs to control bounce and sway under heavy loads but stay soft when unloaded, keeping the ride comfortable for everyday driving.

Quiet Operation That Feels Solid: Silent Ride Urethane Bushings

No one wants noisy suspension parts clattering over rough roads. The Silent Ride urethane bushings built into these springs cut down on rattling and harsh vibration so the setup feels tight and quiet. That means a smoother, more composed drive even when you’re pulling serious weight.

Tuned Support for Any Load: Adjustable U-Bolts on Each Side

Loads aren’t always even, and this setup gives you control over how each side handles weight. The adjustable U-bolts let you fine-tune tension on the driver’s and passenger’s sides independently to dial in level support for uneven loads. It’s easy to tweak your setup whether you’re towing a trailer or hauling gear in the bed.

Built Tough for the Long Haul: Durable Steel with Protective Finish

Every part of this system is made for long-term performance. The heavy-duty steel construction holds its shape under strain, while the silver vein hammer tone powder coat finish resists corrosion from road grime and weather. Mounting hardware is included for a clean, secure installation that’s ready for real work.

everything went like clockwork - thanks for your help. Will do more business in the future.

Easy install on 2015 NV2500. No noticeable difference in unloaded ride quality. Van is level for towing my RV.



by:

Great add on for trucks someone was thi nking



by:

Directions not the best got very confused putting it on watched a lot of you tube videos they were not that good either. I did have problems with my nuts stripping on the foward u-bolts on both sides fwd of the axle. I did torque the nuts with a calibrated torque wrench. Not sure if it was caused by me or the poor directions. Reached out to the manufacturer he said never heard of that before and said he would send new hardware. I am out of state in a rv park will see what happens when I reinstall. Oh had to cut it off in a Safeway parking lot on my way to TX



by:

good install. works well with a light or heavy load.



by:

Everything showed up as scheduled and the box was fully intact, all parts were accounted for. Now waiting for a good weather day to install.



by:

Easy enough to install but the kit needs locknuts! Also a better example of how to adjust properly!



by:

The only reason I gave the kit 4 stars is because Im a vistual person, the picture/ instructions for my spring mounting locations and where they acually mount up are different so I felt I was doing something wrong but finally got them mounted. The customer service I give (6) stars because the shipper damaged the box and parts fell out, called customer service had my missing parts in 2 days. 2023 GMC Denali 2500hd couldn't find an install video to use as a reference.



by:

These spring are insufficient for my use. My fifth-wheel RV applies 2918lbs to the bed of my 2024 RAM 3500. Between the factory springs and the HE67QR kit, I'm left with about a 2" drop in bed height. During the day isn't a problem, but makes night towing a little dicey since the headlights are noticeable raised. The rubber insulators have lost a fair amount of resistance because of the squish applied while towing and can require the mounting nuts to be re-tightened after several uses to stop the shackles from rattling. These springs would probably be a better choice for loads at less than two thousand pounds.



by:

Works great! Easy to install and definitely helps with level towing
No more squatting the back end of my truck!



by:

What a great product! Unfortunately, even though the helper springs fit beautifully over the factory provided chassis leaf springs, the design of my Leisure Travel van has frame supports that prevent me from utilizing the helper spring set up. The clearances were too tight between the metal framing of my Leisure Travel van to her Mercedes 3500 cutaway chassis. All the other upgrades all went smoothly without any difficulty and the overall ride is so much I previously had. This is my third upgrade/Do it yourself Project from e-trailer and will not be my last, such a great company to work with.



by:

Quick shipping decent price, good produ ct.



by:

The product is very well made and sturdy. The pro series was very easy to install. Overall I think it is going to work as I intended.
Still giving five stars, one thing that could improve are the instructions. Specifically torque specs. The table is helpful, but just spell it out in the instructions.

I needed to play with every nut so it wouldn’t cross thread. It took a few minutes on each nut
