Hellwig Helper Springs

Has anyone used these, and if so what are your opinions on them. Just looking at options to beef up the rear springs without adding any height.

What is the problem you having with the stock leaf packs?

Those generally don't have great reviews, I have not used them though. Bottoming out?

I had Firestone airbags on my 2008 taco after getting the TSB 4 leaf pack I was still hitting the bump stops with very little load in the bed, or just 4 adults in the cab. They works very well but were overkill for me.

I should have gotten some good bump stops, like superbumbs or similar. It would soften the bump stop bottom out which is really harsh and uncomfortable. and also would help support a loaded bed when needed without adversely affecting the ride quality. New bump stops cut out the added maintenance needed when you have air bags (adding and removing air, chasing air leaks, etc).

 

I've also been curious about these. I almost ran some on a mid 90s Nissan pickup but never did. Looked legit but of course would like to hear from someone that did run em before.

 

I have these on my 87 D21 and my 96 Tacoma 4X4. IIRC I paid about $35 and for that price they solved the issue os spring wrap on the Tacoma and ass dragging on the D21 when loaded.

 

I see them referenced by Nissan Titan owners to beef up springs to reduce axle wrap.

 

@Glamisman , thank you sir for the response.

 

Look into Super Springs but if your Springs are shot it will make things worse adding some sort of band aid
