This Hellwig contact helper spring adds support to the factory contact overload springs on the 11-22 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 11-20 F-550 Super Duty, and 2022 F-600 Super Duty. As the truck is loaded, the contact helper engages the factory contact pads sooner to reduce sag and add support under heavy loads, while leaving ride quality unchanged when the truck is unloaded. It mounts directly to the factory contact springs for an easy install and increases the truck's level-load carrying capacity.
