Video Transcript for A Closer Look at the Hellwig Load Pro 35 Heavy Duty Helper Springs with Custom Mounting Kit

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Hellwig Load Pro 35 heavy duty helper springs with the custom mounting kit. Now, this is a custom fit part. This is designed to fit the 2020 and newer Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive trucks. And because it's a custom fit part, I do like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show if this will work for your application. Now, this Load Pro 35 spring set features a full-time spring rate design, which is ideal for vehicles or fleet applications that consistently carry a heavy load day in and day out, gives you a full-time spring rate to adjust to the load on your vehicle for an improved ride and it won't affect your ride while it's unloaded.

One note I do wanna mention, if your vehicle is equipped with a brake fluid proportioning valve, this constant rate spring is not recommended. Only progressive rate helper springs should be used. Now, these custom helper springs will upgrade your factory leaf springs to reduce sway and body roll. They do prevent sagging when you're towing or hauling heavy loads, and they'll extend the life of your factory suspension, tires and brakes. This kit here uses four helper leaf springs that'll flex with the factory leaf springs to limit any bouncing while providing optimal stability.

It is a very easy install. They'll bolt above your factory leaf springs. The driver and the passenger sides can be adjusted independently for uneven loads. The custom installation kit that comes with it includes all the zinc-plated hardware. And for this video, you can see I've attached all the installation hardware to it to show you what it looks like when it's installed.

One note to mention, if your vehicle's equipped with a factory contact overload, it may need to be removed before installing these new helper springs. What I would recommend is just to consult the installation guide. These are a durable steel construction. They ensure long lasting performance. And one thing I do wanna mention is the finish on these, they use a silver vein hammer tone powder coat finish to resist corrosion.

I want to zoom in real close to show you. There's your springs. You can see the finish on them. It gives them a nice finish. Besides looking good, like I said, it helps resist corrosion. Now, these parts are made in the USA. A few specs on this. The weight capacity is 3,500 pounds and these Hellwig helper springs will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. But that should do it for the review on the Hellwig Load Pro 35 heavy duty helper springs with the custom mounting kit.
