Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at this Hellwig EZ-550 Above Axle Helper Springs for the small GM trucks. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2015 and newer Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks. And on a custom fit part like this, I do like to recommend for you go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model of vehicle, and it'll show if this a work for your application.

Now, these are light duty custom helper springs that upgrade your factory leaf springs to reduce any sway and body roll. These will prevent sagging when you're towing or hauling light loads, and it helps extend the life of your factory suspension, tires and brakes. Now, these will flex with your leaf springs to limit bouncing, while providing optimal stability. And the U-bolts, if we zoom in on those. You can see these U-bolts here, they can be adjusted to suit different loads.

And also, the drivers and passenger sides can be adjusted independently for uneven loads. Now, this is a very easy install. It'll bolt above your factory leaf springs. All the mounting hardware, as you can see, is included. Comes with a nice set of instructions.

It is a durable steel construction, ensures long-lasting performance. And I just also wanna zoom in on the finish on these. If you look real close, it uses a silver vein hammer toned powder coat finish to resist rust and corrosion, plus give it a good look. Now, these parts are made in the USA. Weight capacity on this is 500 pounds.

One thing I do wanna mention is Hellwig Helper Springs will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. But that should do it for the review on the Hellwig EZ-550 Above Axle Helper Springs for the small GM trucks.
