Re: Rear Air Bag for Load Carrying

I have considered Hellwig helper springs for my 83 C20. I prefer no air lines, leaking bags, etc. to deal with. I believe that all of the supplemental springs do not increase vehicle GVWR, but the air bags might improve ride quality. My interest in these springs is for load leveling in the rear when loaded to the max.
I have read that these Hellwig springs do not affect existing ride quality since the helper springs are only employed when under a significant load.

This is exactly what I was looking for! I had lost hope when Super Springs didn't have this for our trucks. Happy to hear it's available from Hellwig. I had the Super Springs on my Tundra and it was perfect. It did an excellent job reinforcing the load. And for just $120, this is definitely worth a try. I'll do the rear 4" lowering by hangers and shackles so I can still use this properly with the leaf packs. Thanks again for the info!
