Helwig Helpers

Any body know much about them. Freinds truck has GN and brackets will not allow for airbag brackets with out serious fabrication/modification. Her truck squats down too much w/ new horse trailer and is hoping for a fix vs new truck. Truck also only has basic leaf spring setup w/out the heavy duty goodies. Any ideas or comments greatly appreciated.

I have a like new set at home. Used for one week. I purchased them to level my truck while pulling my 40 ft. fifth wheel. They did not work with my application. The truck still sagged. I installed airbags and they remidied the problem.

I once had a set of these helper springs on a 1/2 ton Ram and they worked good, They rode good when unloaded also. They have heavy duty helpers for larger trucks.

Installed a set on my 2500 to help with rear end sag. Solved the problem. Easy install.

Do a search on the internet for Roadmaster Active Suspension. I have them on my truck and am very satisfied with them. They do not effect the unloaded ride and can be adjusted for the load you carry.

Had sets on a GMC 1500 and a GMC 2500. Worked well and ride was fine. Used them to help pull a 26' Coachman Catilina.
