When you’re towing or hauling heavy gear, rear-end sag can throw off your handling and braking. The Hellwig Contact Helper Spring installs above your factory contact leaf springs to boost stiffness under load. As the weight increases, the added spring connects with the contact pad for quicker load leveling support and a steady, level stance that keeps your setup stable on the road.
Your stock suspension does a lot of work, but constant heavy loads can wear it down. These custom contact helper springs bolt directly onto your factory contact springs to assist your overload leafs. That extra support helps prevent bottoming out and extends the life of your suspension, tires, and brakes—keeping everything working as it should for longer.
Heavy loads demand strong parts. Hellwig builds these helper springs from durable steel with a silver vein hammertone powder coat finish that resists corrosion. The sturdy design means consistent performance season after season without losing its stiffness or shape under pressure.
You don’t need special tools or a lift to add real support to your rear suspension. This kit bolts on using the included mounting hardware and works with your existing overload spring pack. It’s a straightforward install that fits right the first time so you can get back on the road confident your truck is ready for the next haul.
Hellwig Helper Springs will not increase your vehicle's weight-carrying capacity.

Hello, neighbors, I'm Steven here with etrailer.com. Today, we're looking at the Hellwig Contact Helper Springs for the above axle application. Now, folks, these are a custom fit application. Make sure you're checking our fit guide here at etrailer.com, top center of our homepage. Enter your year, make, and model where it says vehicle information, the truck size, cab size, bed length, maybe two-wheel, four-wheel drive, anything it asks you to make sure you're getting the right parts the first time. Also, keep in mind, sometimes videos can be outdated, and it could fit current years that aren't in the video.
Now, that being said, these are a custom contact helper springs that will provide a better load support than just your factory springs alone. So you can see each set is two springs, and they're gonna prevent sagging when towing or hauling heavy loads. They're also gonna extend the life of your factory suspension, tires, and brakes. It's a very simple install, I've just mocked everything up here loose. You get the bolts that bolt onto your factory contact springs, and the mounting hardware is included, so these U-bolts, the bracketry, the washers.
All these have two nuts on them, that's for extra security, so they don't come off. So you get all your mounting hardware, everything is durable steel construction, it's gonna ensure a long-lasting performance. And zooming in on the finish here, you've got a nice what they call a hammered vein tone powder coat finish that's gonna resist corrosion. Very nice looking, but also, very, very durable. You got a nice lifetime warranty, and they are made here in the US.
Well, folks, that's gonna do it for our look at these Hellwig Contact Helper Springs. I'm Steven, thank you so much for watching. Have a great day.

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?
