Helper Spring Install on Ford Ranger

Detailed EZ-990 Helper Spring install video on the 2019 Ford Ranger. This job can be done in under an hour, using simple hand tools.
In this video, Mike is installing part number #1914 on this Ranger.
Hellwig Helper Springs are designed to sit on top of the leaf springs at the rear of your truck and work in conjunction with the stock spring pack to effectively increase the level load rating of your truck up to the vehicle’s gross vehicle weight rating. Hellwig Helper Springs are adjustable, easy to install and come with all the necessary hardware to make installation painless.
Hellwig offers several types of Helper Springs, each with different load capacities and applications in mind. Like all of Hellwig’s steel products, they are forged in California in Hellwig’s ISO9001 certified factory and come with Hellwig’s limited life-time warranty.

I've watched about 30 of these and this one is the best for my application

Deign flaw, you reduce your travel by installing these. You’re going to hit your pump stop much sooner and bottom out easier.

I did mine yesterday as is... What's the best way to set the preload? I feel like if the u bolts are to loose they will come off the leaf and it will fly out. I can't believe there's no way to anchor the leafs on 😱

The only thing that looks sketchy is the wear on the underside of the main leafs from the mounting bracket causing a crack over time...

Why buy this for the ranger instead of a brand new leaf pack?

Came for a ranger video, got an f150

[@GwinnettLawns]

So the more you tension the nuts the higher it will lift??

[@larasids27]

When will this be releasing

[@HellwigProducts]

They are now available, sorry for the late reply!

That's good video.

I’m trying to install the 61903 on my f150. Which bolts do you tighten to 65lb the first bolt or the second bolt and are they just the ones that hold it over the “hat” that you torque down? I also have an issue with the brake lines being in the way. I was told I can slide them towards the back closer to the hat. I don’t think it’s gonna fit. But great video I’m gonna give it another shot tomorrow. It’s just wasn’t fitting as easy as it looks.

Does this add any lift without the weight?

[@Travisj9935]

I think if you add enough preload it would 🤔

This helps axle wrap?
