If your rear end squats when you load up, these contact helper springs add support without replacing your factory suspension. They engage under load to help level things out and keep the ride more controlled.
These springs install above your factory rear contact springs and engage only when weight is added. Under load, they increase stiffness to help level the vehicle and reduce sag without permanently changing your unloaded ride.
If your factory suspension is still in good shape, you dont need to swap everything out. These helper springs add extra support only when needed, giving you better load control without overcomplicating the setup.
Note: Hellwig Helper Springs will not increase your vehicles weight-carrying capacity.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look together at this Hellwig above-axle contact helper spring kit. Now, this has been designed to fit your 2024 to current Ford F-250 and F-350 super-duties, with either the two-wheel or four-wheel drives. And on custom fit parts such as these springs, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer, pop in the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and answer any other questions that it might have for you, and our 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 designed to help support the rear of your truck when you're towing a trailer or you're hauling heavy cargo.
So if you've ever noticed the back of your truck sagging under weight, that's exactly what this is going to help prevent. This is going to add extra support to the rear so it doesn't squat down as much when it's under a heavy load. Now, what's nice about this is that this is only gonna work when you actually need it. So when you load up the truck, the helper springs are going to engage and help stabilize the rear suspension. That's gonna help give you a more controlled and confident ride.
But when you're driving around empty, these are going to stay out of the way and let your factory suspension do its normal job. So you're adding support, not making your ride stiff or uncomfortable all the time. And the installation's going to be pretty straightforward because this is going to bolt directly onto your factory contact springs using the included hardware. And I kind of have it set up to where the U-bolts and the plates and the rest of the hardware's going to go where it's gonna be positioned on your springs when you have these installed. There's no welding required, which is gonna make this a whole lot easier and convenient to install.
Instructions are also included as well to guide you through the installation process. And this is built to last. These springs are made from heavy-duty steel and they're finished in a silver vein hammertone powder coat finish to help resist rust and corrosion. Now, one important thing to keep in mind is that these helper springs do not actually increase your truck's weight carrying capacity. They simply help better support and manage the weight that you're already rated to carry.
So you do wanna make sure that you're not exceeding your manufacturer's recommended weight limits. Now, if you would like help installing these springs, on this product page, underneath the photo section, we do have a link that you can click. It's called our installer locator link. So when you click that and you answer the questions that it has for you, that locator is going to find an installer in your area that etrailer has partnered with to help you get these installed. But if you happen to have any other questions, don't hesitate to reach out. We do wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well, again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.

My original review still rings true. This is the simplest, most reliable solution for a truck bed camper.

The Hellwig Contact Helper Spring # HE89FR will still allow sag. They are designed to give the overload springs more support once they are engaged. The best way to get rid of sag under heavy load is going to be with air bags. At least in my opinion. Have you considered going this route?
