Will Hellwig Load Pro 35 Turn 2024 Silverado 2500 Into 3500  

Updated 02/12/2026 | Published 02/09/2026

Question:

Looking to increase my fifth wheel towing capacity on my 2024 Silverado 2500hd. Does this item turn my 2500 into a 3500? Is it similar to adding a leaf spring ?

Hey Matt! The Hellwig Load Pro 35 Heavy Duty Helper Springs # HE93XR are only designed to give you additional support while towing/hauling. Aftermarket suspension enhancement cannot increase the capacity of your 2024 Silverado 2500.

The only way to increase the capacity is to sell it and get an actual 3500. If you stick with the 2500 these will improve your ride and keep you level for a better towing experience.

What kind of 5th wheel are you towing?

Ok thank you. That’s what I figured. I was looking for an “add a leaf” type item but it seems that’s not an option anymore for these new trucks.

@MattN you're welcome. It is typically more than just the suspension that goes into that rating.
