Product Details
Load Pro Series™ Helper Spring Mounting Hardware Kit by Hellwig®. When ordering the spring kit don't forget about appropriate mounting hardware kit to complete the installation. Simple bolt on design using common hand tools provide the installer ease of installation and the vehicle owner hassle free use. “Set it and forget it”.
The suspension of any pickup, van, or mobile home that’s weighed down by heavy cargo, permanently affixed equipment, or a trailer is compromised because the rear springs are crushed down to a height they cannot recover from. Ride quality is reduced, and the front of the vehicle points upward. A rear end that is weighed down literally lifts weight off your front wheels, reducing the amount of traction you have for steering and reducing grip the tires have on the road when you need it in fast braking. After enough time, weighed-down springs sag permanently and the effect becomes even worse.
Hellwig’s Load Pro Series Helper Springs are powerful secondary assist leaf springs designed to eliminate this problem. They support overwhelmed OEM leaf springs on full-size vehicles, and restore proper ride height along with a stable, comfortable ride. For “half-ton” rated vehicles, choose LP-25 level springs that can take 2,500 pounds of load off your main springs. The amount of tension on the helper springs can be set to your preference during installation. As weight increases on the rear of your vehicle, the helper springs take effect gradually as the main springs become more and more compressed. So during normal driving without weight in the vehicle, their presence is invisible without causing any added bounce or harshness. For “three-quarter ton” or “1 ton” vehicles, choose the LP-35 springs for 3,500 pounds of support. Once installed, headlights and fog lights will be level again – illuminating the road ahead of you instead of the tree tops in the distance.
