If you use your truck or SUV for hauling, overlanding, or as a tow vehicle, you already know how heavy loads can have a dramatic impact on your vehicle’s drivability.
And that’s why helper springs exist. But what exactly are they and how do they actually help your truck or SUV?
The suspension superstars over at Hellwig have a two-minute video that’ll answer those questions. Better still, it’ll explain some of the issues the helper springs will correct—and there are some problems that you may not have initially thought about. Check it out below:

P.s. do you make a set for my 1997 lifted f250
Hey Colin, looks like you’ve got a few options for the ’97 F-250. You didn’t mention how high your lift was, but as long as it’s not too extreme, we imagine you can use a set originally intended for a stock truck. If you’re unsure about compatibility, give the Summit Racing tech folks a buzz, they’ll be able to help you out.
