Features to know about

Stay Level and Confident Under Load: 1,500-lb Load Leveling Capacity

When towing or hauling light loads, rear-end sag can make your truck feel unsettled. The Hellwig Load Pro 15 helper springs add up to 1,500 lbs of load-leveling capacity to keep the vehicle sitting level and steady. By working with your factory leaf springs, they reduce sway and prevent sagging so steering and braking stay consistent when the bed or hitch is loaded down.

Smooth Out the Ride: Flexes with Factory Springs

Stock suspension alone can bounce or bottom out when loaded unevenly. These helper springs flex with your existing leaf springs to limit that bouncing while maintaining stability. The result is a more controlled, balanced ride whether you’re towing a small camper or hauling gear in the bed.

Fine-Tune for Every Trip: Adjustable U-Bolts

Every load is different, and the Load Pro 15 lets you dial in support to match. The U-bolts can be adjusted to suit different loads, and each side can be tuned independently to handle uneven weight. That means a more even ride when one side of the bed is heavier than the other—no leaning or sway when you hit the road.

Built Strong for Real Work: Durable Steel Construction

Hellwig designed these springs with a durable steel build and a silver vein hammer tone powder coat finish that resists corrosion. The bolt-on design includes mounting hardware for straightforward installation above your factory leaf springs. Once installed, you get long-lasting performance backed by a lifetime warranty without changing your vehicle’s weight-carrying capacity.

Video Transcript for A Closer Look at the Hellwig Load Pro 15 Load Leveler Helper Springs

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the Hellwig Load Pro 15 Helper Springs for small and mid-size trucks and SUVs. Now, this part is a custom fit part, so it does fit many models of Chevrolet GMC, Dodge, Ford, Mazda, and Toyota trucks. And because it fits so many different models, I do like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model of vehicle, and it'll show you if this will work for your application. Now, these are custom helper springs, which will upgrade your factory leaf springs to reduce sway and body roll.

That will prevent sagging when you're towing or hauling light loads, and they'll even extend the life of your factory suspension, tires and brakes. These do still flex with your lease brakes to limit bouncing, while providing optimal stability. And they are adjustable. I want to just to zoom in and show you right here. These U-bolts can be adjusted to suit different loads.

You just tighten them or loosen them, whichever you need. And what's nice is the drivers and the passengers sides can be adjusted independently for uneven loads. They are an easy install. They'll bolt above your factory leaf springs. The mounting hardware, as you can see, is all included.

And these are a durable steel construction, ensures long-lasting performance. They do have a nice finish on them, and I wanted to zoom in to show you that. If you look closely, it uses a silver vein hammer toned powder coat finish, which will resist rust and corrosion. Besides, it looks very good also. Now, these parts are made in the USA.

A few specs. The weight capacity of these springs is 1500 pounds. One note I do wanna mention, Hellwig Helper Springs will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. But that's gonna do it for the review on the Hellwig Low Pro 15 Helper Springs for small and mid-size trucks and SUVs.

The u-bolt plates hole where misaligned by a little over 5/8" overall, they where set apart to far. I had to use a cabinet but to slot the holes to allow the u-bolt to pass through the plates. The average person would not have the tools to do this. I don't know if they sent the wrong parts of it's a design fault. But installation went from 10 minutes to about an hour. Definitely something they might want to look into.

I actually ordered these after I lowered my vehicle, I found when I have passengers in the vehicle the back tires would rub on hard turns and bumbs. So I installed these helper springs and they work great, the rear leafs dont sag now and its alot stiffer for my trailer and when I have a load in the vehicle.
Thay work great and easy to install!!!

I was looking at the product that is rated for 6,000lbs, but I read the reviews and a guy had the same truck as mine and he said the ride was too ruff. I decided to go with this Load Pro 15 and it works great. The ride is a bit more tight and I like it...

  • Will Hellwig Load Pro 15 Load Leveler Helper Springs Fit 2000 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner
    Hi Jim; the Hellwig Load Pro 15 Load Leveler Helper Springs # HE23VR actually fit the 2000 Pre-Runner. The way our guide shows it can be confusing. It lists "Pre-Runner" and "excluding Pre-Runner" which means it fits the Pre-Runner and then everything that isn't the Pre-Runner. The bottom line here is that you can use the # HE23VR on your 2000 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner. If you have any other questions feel free to reply below.
