Features to know about

Stay Level and in Control: 1,000-lb Load Leveling Support

When your rear end starts to sag from towing or hauling, these Hellwig EZ-1000 Helper Springs add up to 1,000 lbs of load-leveling support to keep things steady. They mount above and below your factory leaf springs to reduce sway and body roll, helping your truck stay level for better braking, steering, and headlight aim. With the extra support, you keep a confident stance whether you’re towing a camper or carrying tools and gear.

Smooth Out the Ride: Helper Springs That Flex with Your Suspension

Heavy loads can make a truck bounce or bottom out. These helper springs flex with your leaf springs to control that motion while still giving stability under load. The balanced spring action helps limit bouncing over rough roads so the ride feels smoother and more predictable without harshness when empty.

Fine-Tune for Every Load: Adjustable U-Bolts for Even Weight

Not every load sits evenly side to side. The EZ-1000’s adjustable U-bolts let you dial in tension separately on the driver’s and passenger’s sides for uneven loads. You can also adjust them to suit different cargo weights so your suspension stays balanced and level every time you hook up or haul out.

Built Tough for the Long Haul: Steel Construction with Corrosion Resistance

Real work demands real durability. These helper springs are built from heavy-duty steel with a silver vein hammer tone powder coat finish that resists corrosion. The hardware mounts securely with simple bolt-on installation—no need for complicated modifications—so you can count on long-lasting performance and reliable support trip after trip.

Video Transcript for Review of Hellwig Vehicle Suspension - EZ-1000 Helper Springs - HE89XR

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at these Hellwig EZ-1000 Helper Springs. Now, these helper springs have been designed to fit your 2022 and newer Nissan Frontier. And on custom-fit parts such as these springs, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if these will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. Now, these custom helper springs with a load leveling capacity of 1,000 pounds, are going to install above and below your Frontier's rear factory leaf springs to help reduce sway and body roll.

Now, these are also gonna help prevent sagging when towing or hauling light loads, and they're going to extend the life of your factory suspension, tires and brakes. These springs are going to flex with your leaf springs to limit bouncing while providing optimal stability. As you can see, we have U-bolts here and the U-bolts can be adjusted to suit different loads. The drivers and the passenger side can be adjusted independently for uneven loads, for instance. And these springs are made here in the USA of a durable steel construction, which are going to ensure long lasting performance.

And they feature a silver vein hammer tone finish, which will help reduce corrosion. And this is going to be a bolt-on installation, again, above and below your factory leaf springs. And as you can see, mounting hardware is included. And also on your screen, I'm popping up another photo there with these displayed on kind of a longer table just to kind of give you a better view of the layout. You do wanna make sure that you don't install these on vehicles with composite or plastic leaf springs.

Since these springs are so robust, they could fracture or really damage those plastic leaf springs. Again, these do have a weight capacity of 1,000 pounds, but these helper springs do not actually increase your frontier's weight carrying capacity. So you wanna make sure that you do not exceed your manufacturer's recommended capacity. These do come with instructions to guide you through the installation process, and they do have a limited lifetime warranty from Hellwig. Well, that's gonna wrap up our real quick look today.

I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Got a kit for my 2000 Tacoma. 2.4L RWD. Fit great. Got the rear end stiff again. I didn't want to spend $800 for oem springs, so this worked great. Got it done in about an hour.

Great addition to my sumo springs on a 02 Sonoma
Would give 5 stars but the hardware could have been better quality the thread on several u-bolts came cut pretty rough making starting the nuts quite difficult once on the rest was simple
