Can Hellwig Helper Spring Work with Air Bag Kit

Question

Question:

Can I use these in conjunction with airbags? I have an f250 and when I put my camper 2k in the back the airbags still have a little sag in the rear.

Hey Dennis, so the Hellwig Contact Helper Spring part # HE89FR would not interfere with the install of an air bag kit at all.

I spoke with another representative from etrailer, Natalie, and she says that she spoke with Hellwig and that Hellwig says only one suspension enhancement can be used at a time. When I look up different parts at Hellwig it seems Natalie isn’t correct because Hellwig makes parts to accommodate an Airbag system. But why would Natalie or Hellwig misinform me? This really shouldn’t be this complicated

As long as the installation of the airbags on the truck and the SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit #SSA16MXKT do not interfere with one another combining them will be an improvement.

You certainly can use a SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit on your 1999 Ford F-250 4WD with an air bag system installed. Out selection includes part #SSA16 with a 1,650 lb capacity, part #SSA22 with a 2,200 lb capacity,…

I looked up the Hellwig kit you referenced and it is basically just an additional overload spring that installs on top of the rear leaf springs very similar to the SuperSprings part #SSA5MTKT. That would work just fine with a Firestone air kit like…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Answer 10

Yes, it will work. You'll just need to cut the Lance 6-pin connector out and rewire it into the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector item #e99011. Here are the individual functions of that Lance 6-pin:…

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

Answer 12

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
