Hellwig Releases Helper Springs for 2024-25 Ford F250/F350 Trucks

June 3, 2025

Hellwig Products, a leading manufacturer of towing, hauling and performance suspension products, has released new contact helper springs for 2024-25 Ford Super Duty F-250 and F-350 pickups. Designed to accompany factory leaf springs, Hellwig’s contact helper springs provide better support and higher-level load capacities than factory contact leaf springs alone.

Hellwig Products’ contact helper springs (Part #9712) include two springs designed to work with the rear OEM contact leaf springs and provide upgraded load capacities. The new contact helper springs offer more support under heavy loads to ensure a level truck and a more comfortable ride. In heavy duty cases, factory leaf springs offer inadequate load capacities, Hellwig’s new contact helpers mount atop the factory leaf springs to offer an additional 2,000 pounds of load support.

The helper springs are manufactured and designed to offer an OEM-style fitment and made in the U.S. with heat-treated 4140 chromoly steel. Each kit includes all the necessary hardware for installation and can be installed in a few hours with simple hand tools and jacks.

Like all aftermarket suspension modifications, Hellwig Helper Springs will not increase the official GVWR/payload rating of a truck. It will, however, improve a truck’s handling when rear sag takes place under a heavy load like a truck camper.
