2017 Ford Super Duty: Hellwig Big Wig Air Spring Kit

Tow your heart out with this new air spring kit from Hellwig Suspension Products for your Ford Super Duty.

No matter how beefy your setup is, even the toughest of trucks will sag in the rear while towing a large trailer. At best, it’s less than ideal, and looks kind of silly. At worst, it’s downright unsafe.

Thankfully, Hellwig Suspension Products is here to help with the Big Wig bolt-on air helper spring kit. If you’ve got a 2017 Ford Super Duty F-250, F-350, or F-450, Hellwig has you covered.

The Big Wig kit includes a pair of 2,800 lb. air springs, mounted with heavy-duty brackets designed to be bulletproof. The air springs get their name from their sheer size – three inches larger in diameter and up to three inches taller than their competitors.

As a result, the springs require less pressure than the competition for the same load, resulting in a softer spring rate and a more comfortable ride.

Even the heaviest loads are no match for your truck with this kit. Uneven loads? No problem – the springs can be aired up or down individually to compensate.

Kits are available for several different configurations – two-wheel drive F-250 and F-350 (part #6116), four wheel drive trucks lifted up to two inches (part #6117), four wheel drive trucks with a two to four inch rear lift (part #6119), and F-350 and F-450 four wheel drive dually trucks (part #6112).

The kit can be installed with hand tools in an afternoon, and an optional on-board compressor is available too, making adjustments even easier. The kit is covered by Hellwig’s limited lifetime warranty, so you can tow to your heart’s content, year after year.
