Heavy trailers or bed loads can make the rear end sag and affect steering. These Hellwig EZ-990 helper springs add up to 2,000 lbs of load leveling capacity to keep your vehicle level and stable when towing or hauling light loads. By upgrading your factory leaf springs, they reduce sway and body roll so your ride stays steady and confident even when the weight is on.
Bumpy roads and uneven loads can cause bouncing that wears on your suspension. The EZ-990 helper springs flex with your factory leaf springs to smooth out the ride while maintaining control. This design limits bounce and helps extend the life of your suspension, tires, and brakes so the whole setup works better for longer.
Not every haul weighs the same on both sides, and that’s where the adjustable U-bolts come in. Each side can be set independently to suit different loads or bed setups, keeping things balanced no matter what you’re carrying. You can dial in the right amount of support whether you’re hauling tools one day or a camper the next.
You don’t need a shop full of tools to get these springs installed. The Hellwig EZ-990 kit uses a straightforward bolt-on design that mounts above your factory leaf springs with included hardware. It’s a clean, simple install that fits right into a DIY weekend project so you can get back to towing or hauling sooner.
These helper springs are built from durable steel for long-lasting performance through real work and weather. A silver vein hammer tone powder coat finish resists corrosion, keeping them looking sharp and holding strong through years of heavy use.

Hi everyone. Steve here with etrailer. Today we're taking a look at the Hellwig EZ-990 helper springs for above axle installation. Now folks, these are a custom fit application. Make sure you're double checking the fit guide over at etrailer.com to be sure you get the right parts the first time. That being said, it looks like this fits a 2010 through '14 Ford Transit Connect, both the cargo van and the Ford Transit Connect passenger vans.
Now these are gonna mount to existing attachment points. They're gonna give you 2000 pounds of load support, and that's gonna keep that van level and stable when you're towing, whether you're turning and you're going bumps and those kind of things. And it's gonna be great for hauling those lighter loads. Now again, it's gonna reduce body sway, body roll when you're cornering, or if you hit those uneven parts in the road. And this is going to be a great option, and you can actually adjust the driver and passenger sides independently to balance the weight for your specific needs.
So maybe you have some kind of like a Transit Connect that you're using all the time for, I don't know, plumbing service, construction, whatever, and you know one side of that is stiffer or heavier than the other. You can adjust this accordingly to work with that specific setup that you have, and everything here's a durable steel construction. It's got a corrosion-resistant powder coat finish. It's kinda like a hammer tone. Very nice, very good looking.
This is a DIY-friendly setup. It simply bolts on right above your factory leaf springs with the included hardware. That being said, if you don't wanna tackle the install, we got you covered. You can come over to etrailer.com. Under the Product page, maybe even the video you're watching right now, there should be an Install Locator link.
You just click that link, and based on your zip code, we can pair you with trusted etrailer installers in your area. That's gonna wrap up our time together. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching.

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.
