5 out of 5 stars Nice springs
Review for: EZ-1000 Medium Duty Helper Springs - Pair
From Texas Reviewer: From A Customer   Own this product - Yes
I bought these helper springs to increase the height when pulling my 18 foot trailer. They do seem to help. I only have the tension set about half way so there is room to adjust in the future if needed. I did not want to set the to the max and have a harsh ride when no load was present.

These springs raised my payload on my s-10 by a pretty good amount. The ride is stiffer but that is to be expected. I would suggest them to anybody who just needs a little payload increase
4 out of 5 stars Hellwig rear anti-sway
Review for: Rear 7/8 inch 4140 Chrome Moly Steel Anti-Sway Bar
From MA Reviewer: From A Customer   Own this product - Yes
Good product but Hellwig did not include any kind of lubricant for the polyurethane bushing, such as white lithium, so they squeak a lot. This is especially true in cold weather. If you are purchasing these products, make sure you get some kind of long lasting grease such as lithium or whatever.

NOTE: this goes for front swaybars such as addco...both companies do not include such grease. Make sure you purchase grease as such before installation so you do not have to pay more for your car to be lifted again (unless you have a lift you lucky sonuvagun)

Review for: EZ-990 Medium Duty Helper Springs - Pair
From NJ. Reviewer: From A Customer   Own this product - Yes
The springs arrived on time and at a good price.
I have not installed these yet but I had the exact same model on my last Dodge B 150 van for 80K miles and had no problem. I carry a full load of carpenter tools (and more) and they did the job without any squeeks or groans. Takes some effort to install with the fact you have to loosen the u-bolts on the rear axle.
4 out of 5 stars Very good product if you can get the right parts
Review for: Rear 1-1/8 inch 4140 Chrome Moly Steel Anti-Sway Bar
From Raleigh,NC Reviewer: Mike Cook   Own this product - Yes
Vehicle: 2000 TOYOTA Tundra
I purchased this anti-sway bar for a Toyota Tundra DC to help with body roll. This made the ride completely different. The truck stays much flatter in turns now and Im completely satisfied with the handling. Performance center was good in helping me deal with the manufacturer. The product comes with two sheets of paper with very unclear instructions and no parts list. I know my way around in the garage, but I was disheartened when I had the whole install almost completed only to discover I was missing two brackets for the endlinks. This is a huge problem for Hellwig. Ive seen this happen to other buyers at least ten times. I would not expect to get all the parts on the first order unless you do it by phone and have someone go over the list with you. They will get them out 2nd day air when they do fail to include all parts. In summary, product is excellent, service from the manufacturer not too great.

5 out of 5 stars No more swaying
Review for: Rear 1-1/2 inch 4140 Chrome Moly Steel Anti-Sway Bar
From florida Reviewer: From A Customer   Own this product - Yes
Wow what a difference! Went from almost out of control to bring it on big trucks and windy days. Just wished I gotten the sway bar sooner. Easy to put on by myself with a few hand tools and a couple of hours wasnt bad at all. Recommend it to all motor home owners with a problem of having to slow down because of rocking back and forth when a big rig passes or those gusts of wind,almost eliminated body roll going around corners. Great product, thanks Mike
4 out of 5 stars Just what I needed
Review for: EZ-550 Medium Duty Helper Springs - Pair
From Vancouver, WA Reviewer: From A Customer   Own this product - Yes
I have a large boat I need to tow and the standard spring leafs on my jeep cherokee were not stiff enough so these helped and it is now stable on the road without rocking.

Review for: Rear 1-1/8 inch 4140 Chrome Moly Steel Anti-Sway Bar
From Georgia Reviewer: Michael Mahoney   Own this product - Yes
Vehicle: 1998 CHEVY/GMC TRUCK 1500
This review is for a kit I installed on my 98 GMC Sierra 2WD short bed P/U. This is a high quality kit marred by the exclusion of grade eight hardware (nuts, bolts washers). Considering the price and quality of the other parts, including heavy duty hardware would be appropriate for this kit.

Assembly is pretty straight forward; you will need 7/8 and 11/16 wrenches. Before you start wrenching do yourself a favor: first, remove the spare tire; second, make sure the truck is raised high enough to allow you to sit cross legged underneath the back end (if youre average height this shouldnt be a problem) and third, lay out and match-up all the nuts, washers and bolts to their respective assemblies. It is a royal booger to tighten the frame clamps in this kit and being able to sit under the truck where the spare is stored will allow you access and be able to swing the wrenches; working from below lying on a creeper means youre working against gravity. It would be much better if the tightening torques were listed specifically for each assembly step instead of the seperate table listing the bolt/nut size and its appropriate torque; its dumb. But dont worry cause youll never get the 75 Ft-Lbs required to tighten the axle u-bolts and saddles....the saddles will spread and bend and the bolts will chew through the cheapo mild steel washers...not too impressive for the major connection of the bar to the axle. And dont worry about even getting a torque wrench on the frame clamps.


The results are very nice; body roll is greatly reduced and the bar seems to have minimal impact on the ride (it does ride a shade stiffer). Overall a nice addition to your ride...I just wish the instructions were a little better and the hardware was up to par with the rest of the parts.
