A heavy trailer or bed load can make the back end sag and throw off your handling. The Hellwig EZ-990 Helper Springs add up to 2,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity above your factory leaf springs to keep things even. By reducing sway and body roll, they help your truck stay level and controlled when towing or hauling light loads. Steering and braking feel more confident because your suspension stays balanced instead of dipping under weight.
Not every load sits perfectly balanced. With the EZ-990 Helper Springs, you can adjust the U-bolts on the driver’s and passenger’s sides independently to handle uneven cargo. This lets you fine-tune support where it’s needed most, keeping the truck level even when tools, campers, or equipment weigh one side down. The springs flex with your factory leaf pack, so you get stability without a harsh ride.
Installing extra load support doesn’t have to be a big project. These helper springs mount above your factory leaf springs using a simple bolt-on design and include the necessary mounting hardware. There’s no need for complicated modifications—just solid parts that fit cleanly on top of your existing suspension so you can get back to hauling faster.
Work trucks and tow rigs see tough conditions, so lasting strength matters. The EZ-990 Helper Springs are made from durable steel and finished with a silver vein hammer-tone powder coat that resists corrosion. That means long-term performance you can count on even when the miles and weight start to add up.
By sharing the load with your factory springs, these helpers take strain off your original suspension, tires, and brakes. Less sagging and bottoming out means fewer worn components over time. The result is steadier handling today and a suspension system that keeps performing trip after trip.
Do not install on vehicles with composite (plastic) leaf springs.

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at these Hellwig EZ-990 Above Axle Helper Springs for small trucks. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 1990 to 2012 Ford Ranger trucks, and also the 1994 to 2010 Mazda B Series trucks. And on a custom fit part like this, 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 if this will work through application.
Now, these are custom helper springs. These will upgrade your factory these springs to reduce sway and body roll. These will prevent sagging when you're towing or hauling light loads, and they'll even help extend the life of your factory suspension, your tires, and your brakes. These do flex with your leaf brakes to limit any bouncing, while providing optimal stability. And these can be adjusted, just want to zoom in and show you.
On each end, they have these U-bolts right here, and you can see these U-bolts by how you tighten them. You can put so much tension on the spring. It can be adjusted to suit the different loads you're carrying. And what's nice is the drivers and the passenger sides can be adjusted independently for uneven loads. It is an easy install.
These will bolt above your factory lease springs. The mounting hardware's all included, comes even with a nice set of instructions. Now, these are a durable steel construction. They ensure long lasting performance, and also wanted to zoom in and show you the finish they put on these. It's a very, nice silver vein hammer toned powder coat finish.
helps resist corrosion, and gives it a good look. Now, these parts are made in the USA. Weight capacity is 2000 pounds. One note 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 your small trucks.

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.
