If you haul gear, tow a trailer, or drive a tall vehicle that’s sensitive to crosswinds, you’ve probably felt sag, sway, and a steering wheel that just won’t sit still. Hellwig’s Helper Springs and Steering Stabilizers give you practical, bolt-on solutions that make trucks, SUVs, and motorhomes feel planted and predictable. Shockwarehouse carries Hellwig so you can match the right parts to your vehicle without guesswork and enjoy a safer, less stressful drive.

Why Hellwig Makes Sense For Real-World Driving

Hellwig focuses on load control and stability. Their helper springs support the rear suspension when weight climbs, so your rig sits level, brakes more confidently, and keeps headlights pointed where they should. Their steering stabilizers add controlled resistance and centering force at the wheel, reducing wander from ruts, grooves, and passing trucks. Together, these upgrades help the chassis do its job with fewer corrections from you.

What Helper Springs Actually Do

Helper springs mount to your existing leaf packs to share the load when cargo, passengers, or tongue weight push the rear down. By supplementing the main springs, they reduce squat, limit bottoming on big bumps, and bring the rear back up toward factory trim. That level stance improves front tire contact, keeps ABS and stability control happier, and shortens the distance between your inputs and the vehicle’s response. Because Hellwig designs these kits to come in progressively as weight increases, you don’t get a harsh ride when the truck is empty.

Why Steering Stabilizers Matter

Steering stabilizers act like a shock for your steering linkage. Hellwig’s units smooth out kickback from potholes and uneven pavement and help the wheel return to center without drama. On windy days, or when a semi blasts past you, the coach or truck tracks straighter. On grooved highways, you’ll notice less tramlining and fewer tiny corrections that cause fatigue. You still steer normally, but the wheel stops fidgeting.

Key Benefits You’ll Feel Right Away

  • A level, confident stance with cargo, passengers, or a trailer on the hitch
  • Reduced sway and bounce over expansion joints and undulating pavement
  • Calmer steering with fewer mid-lane nudges and “drift” on crowned roads
  • Better braking stability and headlight aim when the rear isn’t squatting
  • Less driver fatigue on long trips because the vehicle stops fighting you

Choosing The Right Hellwig Setup

Start with your use case. If you tow or carry tools regularly, pick helper springs sized for your typical load instead of a once-a-year maximum. If your vehicle wanders on the highway or reacts to crosswinds, plan on a steering stabilizer as well. Shockwarehouse will ask for year, make, model, drivetrain, and any factory tow or off-road packages to confirm fitment. If you’ve added a cap, drawer system, rooftop tent, or hitch rack, tell us so we can size support correctly.

Installation Tips That Keep Things Quiet

Hellwig designs these parts as bolt-on kits with brackets that index to factory points. Hand tools, a torque wrench, and jack stands will handle most jobs. Torque U-bolts evenly, recheck hardware after your first loaded trip, and keep brake lines clear as you work. On steering components, center the wheel on a level stretch and follow the centering procedure so you don’t build in a pull.

Everyday Scenarios Where Hellwig Shines

  • Towing a camper or boat: rear stays up, front end stays planted, and steering stays calm when trucks pass
  • Workdays with heavy payloads: fewer bottom-outs on job-site washboard and better control on stop-and-go routes
  • Family road trips: less porpoising on freeway dips and a steering wheel that’s less tiring to hold steady
  • RV miles: straighter tracking and fewer “white-knuckle” moments in wind or rutted lanes

Care And Adjustment

Re-torque helper spring hardware after 200 miles, then every season. If your kit offers adjustability, you can tailor support as loads change through the year. For stabilizers, verify centering after any alignment work and inspect bushings during oil changes. A quick rinse in winter helps keep brackets clean.
