Ever wondered how a sway bar works? Sway bars, or more accurately anti-roll bars, are designed to resist a vehicle’s tendency to pitch from side to side during cornering, improving cornering ability and making for a more comfortable controlled ride. Sway bars are among the most cost effective and dramatic improvements that you can make to your vehicle regardless of whether it’s a truck, muscle car, tow rig, or RV. Sway bars are also typically easy to install, making them a great first upgrade for anyone who wants a little more control out of their ride.
SWAY BAR EDUCATION
Sway Bars are the easiest, most cost effective way to improve your vehicles cornering and handling performance. Larger diameter construction and polyurethane bushings make major improvements in the way your vehicle handles. Each sway bar kit is engineered to fit your specific vehicle model. The sway bars use heavy duty 4140 chrome moly steel that is hot-formed and heat treated for maximum strength, durability and performance. All kits are easy to install and include heavy gauge mounting hardware, specially formulated polyurethane bushings and easy to follow installation instructions.
Hellwig Sway Bars give the vehicle that “extra” performance edge without sacrificing comfort. The sway bar kits provide the ultimate in road handling and performance. Most factory suspensions comprise handling performance for soft ride characteristics, Hellwig sway bars can help a lot. Not only is handling improved but tire life is extended by maintaining even pressure on all four corners of the vehicle in cornering situations.
HOW HELPER SPRINGS WORK?
Helper Springs are designed to make hauling heavy lands safer by maintaining a level ride height. Towing and hauling heavy loads can cause the rear end of your truck to sag which leads to decreased control, increased wear and tear on rear end suspension and braking components, light steering response and difficulty braking.
Helper Springs are a cost effective solution that improves the look and safety of your truck but maintaining a level ride. Helper Springs are also typically easy to install, making them a great first upgrade for anyone who wants a little more control out of their ride.
FLEET AIR RECOMMENDATIONS
Hellwig Air Suspension can provide a smoother ride when empty and is quickly and easily adjustable to the load. Hellwig Air may be applicable where the working load varies greatly and driver comfort is an issue. In fleet operations, one consideration is the maintenance and service of air systems. Like tires, the air pressure in an air suspension system needs to be checked regularly to insure long term service and dependability.

LOAD CONTROL
Hellwig Products Company has manufactured leaf spring load control solutions since 1946. All our leaf springs are manufactured in the USA from US made alloy spring steel. Hellwig springs are available in weight ratings from 500 to 3500 pounds, are adjustable to tailor the spring rate to the load and also allow adjustment for load imbalances left to right. Hellwig Helper Springs provide added support to improve the weight handling capabilities of the vehicle. While Hellwig springs do not increase the GVWR of the vehicle, they do provide a safer and more stable platform, reducing or eliminating rear end sag and improving the handling of the vehicle when loaded or towing.
SWAY CONTROL
Adding tool boxes, utility beds, racks and loading these with tools, gear and supplies can raise the vehicle center of gravity causing an increase in sway and body lean when cornering. By adding a Hellwig Sway Bar this body lean and sway can be reduced. In many cases, body sway can be reduced to a level better than when the vehicle left the factory. Reduced body sway not only makes the vehicle handle better, it can reduce tire wear and be more responsive when avoiding an accident.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Adding Hellwig Auxiliary Helper Springs and Sway Bars will make your vehicles SAFER and MORE STABLE
