"The Hellwig helper springs will help providing the load I need for my pickup truck in towing my large boat with trailer. It fitted great on my rear leaf springs. Though, it has stiffened my suspension, the additional springs give my pickup a rugged feel and better handling of rough road conditions."
Pros: provide load
Cons: stiff rear suspension

"My Nissan pickup with a camper shell needed a little more rear spring to level it. I tried the overload springs over shocks, but there was too much bounce for me. The leaf helper springs solved the problem, plus they are very easy to install. Now I can tow my little camping trailer!"

"I installed these helper springs simply out of curiosity if they would actually do anything. I had seen mixed reviews throughout the internet and I was fairly skeptical myself.
After installation I saw a 1" lift in the rear. Also, in the past I was only able to hold about 1200lbs of mulch with my truck (with 3+ inches of sag) due to heavily used springs but after the helper springs I was able to hold 1400lbs of mulch (with only 1 inch of sag). Also they didn't change my ride quality!
These turned out to be a great value and I would recommend them to anyone with a 1500 truck!"
Pros: Increased Payload and Lifted
Cons: None
