Answers are all great Amazoniers, however please forgive my stupid...but are these to help with the load on a truck as well as pulling a trailer?

They will increase the amount of weight you can load in the bed of a pickup, I don't know if the will help pulling a trailer since I don't pull anything. The reason I purchase these were to stop wheel hop and they have done that.

You put this on the axle to essentially increase the spring rate of your rear leaf springs to make them more "heavy duty". Let me give you a trailer example: when i loaded a trailer with a 400 lb tongue weight, my xterra looked like it was bottomed out in the back, and rode like it. After adding the hellwigs, my rear is more level and manages the load better. Granted the xterra is not like towing with an F350, the springs definitely helped, but i swapped the hellwigs for an add-a-leap because I wanted a small lift kit.

Great product !!They help hauling trailers to less rear end drop on the truck with heavyweight trailers. Like pull behind camper and car hauling trailers.

Still like mine they helped level the truck when hauling my motorcycle or towing my camper. Have about 10K miles on them.

I would think so. I bought them to charge a pull behind dump trailer when the battery would not work. The cables just do reach from the battery on my 350 truck to the back of my truck where the battery is on the trailer. These are the only cables I found that were long enough without going to the super expensive ones.

To be honest I think these tow hooks are more for looks than use! I wouldn't trust them if you were towing out of a ditch. But if you need a tow on pavement I would trust them. Just my opinion. However I don't know the stress rating on them.

I don't think they are intended to support an extra load, just to help out the leaf spring to a slight degree. They worked very well on my van, which is now about 1/2 higher in the rear. I do not tow anything. If you tow heavy loads regularly, maybe an additional leaf spring would be a more appropriate solution.

Yes. These are used to support the vehicle once the vehicle has been raised up off the ground.. You do need a jack or lifting device to raise the vehicle.

They are not used for towing. They are safety chains in case the trailer becomes separated from the tow vehicle hitch while moving.

I use a snatch block on firewood. I often have trees down a hill that I cannot get to with a truck and this helps me pull the sections up out of the bottom. There are times when I cannot get set up in a straight line and theses do the trick. I have used it once to pull a truck out. Run the cable through the block and attach to a tree then run the cable back to the bumper. It makes a 12k winch much stronger.

No they will not. If you are something to keep your truck level when towing, you need either air shocks or a leveling system that includes an on board compressor. FYI, I used K.Y.B. shocks on two vehicles and have had problems with them, I will never buy them again. I have gone back to using Gabriel shocks.

No. These are safety cables that go between the tow bar/hitch and frame to catch the trailer/vehicle being towed if the hitch comes loose.

If its really "we", you shouldn't need these. If it is one of you at a time, a 70 pounder is a bit much for many people so an aid is useful. On that point, these things are very good. They won't reach to the ground bit they will reduce the lift to maybe knee level, and after that they are idiot proof. Even for someone who seems to think an 80 inch vehicle is a good idea.

I would say it's not required but it will help levle out your truck, it also matters on how much weight your putting on the hitch. I use them on my f250 with a 4k lance camper and a flatbed trailer with my jeep on it and it levels it right out. It's nice on the 250's because most of them,including mine, did not come with the overload spring in the back so with all that weight my truck sagged ass pretty bad. I would try it out first without them and see if it's necisary to drop the cash on them.

You're correct, they would not be beneficial. Only other suggestion is using sandbags (long tube type used for weight in the back of pickup trucks). You'll want something to keep it steady. It'll probably 'walk' on the concrete when being used. Good luck!

I don't know. I have three kids and I need to haul them and all their sporting goods to all their events and camping stuff too! They work great when the van is stuffed full and they are not a hard ride when the driver is the only one in the van. A good buy, and I'm glad I bought them.

Steve I have the same truck. These will lift the rear end like 1 1/2 inches. Makes the truck look tougher. I toe my boat and trailer with no problems. I recommend these.

Not at all these are the best thing going. Use them a lot on trailer to remove motorcycle and as wheel chock. Buy them
