Hellwig Contact Helper Spring - Overload Assist Leaf Spring

The Hellwig Contact Helper Spring line delivers targeted overload assistance for trucks equipped with factory contact overload leaf springs. Engineered to work seamlessly alongside your existing suspension, these helper springs engage the factory contact pads earlier in the loading cycle — providing additional support right when it's needed most, without altering ride quality during normal, unloaded driving.

How It Works:

As your vehicle's load increases, Hellwig Contact Helper Springs connect with the factory contact pads sooner than the stock springs alone, reducing sag and maintaining a level ride height under heavy cargo or towing conditions. The additional spring leaves progressively stiffen the factory overload system when engaged, delivering a controlled and stable hauling experience. During normal, unloaded use, factory suspension characteristics remain completely unchanged.

Key Features:

• Earlier contact engagement — connects with factory contact pads sooner for improved support under load
• Progressive overload stiffening — additional leaves increase the overload spring rate when engaged, reducing loaded sag
• Direct-mount installation — mounts directly to factory contact springs for a straightforward, bolt-on install with included hardware
• Transparent unloaded performance — leaves factory ride quality completely unchanged during everyday driving
• Increased load-carrying capacity — boosts the truck's ability to haul heavier cargo and tow trailers with confidence
• Improved cornering stability — balances the spring rate for better handling and control under load
• Protects factory suspension — reduces stress on springs, tires, and brakes for extended service life
• Made in the USA — manufactured at Hellwig's ISO 9001-certified facility in Visalia, California
• Limited lifetime warranty — Hellwig steel spring products are warranted for the normal life of the vehicle on which they are originally installed

Hellwig Contact Helper Springs are the ideal solution for truck owners who need more from their factory overload system when hauling heavy cargo, towing trailers, or carrying campers. Hellwig Products has been family-owned and American-made since 1946, manufacturing all steel products in California's Central Valley.
