Testimonial from SDTruckSprings.com

Hellwig Products has been a pleasure to deal with since the first moment we made contact. Their customer service is second to none, and the products speak for themselves. I would recommend the staff at Hellwig to any outfit that is preparing to sell helper springs or sway bars.

Dodge Powerlift Kit

Dodge Power Lift Kit

New 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Truck Pictures, Images and Photos

Hellwig has completed the design of a new Power Lift rear air suspension
for the 2009 Dodge 1500. This system replaces the coil springs with heavy
duty air springs and a leveling system. The Power lift system eliminates
the "rake" needed to compensate for coil springs' tendency to squat under
load and allows the vehicle to have a level attitude no matter what the load.

The Power Lift incorporates a heavy duty leveling valve that keeps the
vehicle at the desired ride height all the way up to rated GVW. This
feature eliminates sagging or squatting under heavy loads or trailers as the
right amount of air is added to level the vehicle for a ride quality that
cannot be matched. A modular compressor and tank mount is also included
for ease of installation.

The Power Lift for 1500 Dodge will be ready for
sale in Spring 2010.

Rovers District 37 Race

Hellwig Motorsports supported the D37 Rover's Race with the Baja Chase Truck and some of the Hellwig crew. For the two day motorcycle race the weather was perfect! The truck was awesome to have at the first checkpoint, we were able to stay up on all the chatter with the truck's race radio. Checkpoint 1 is the most exciting "check", bikes were flying through! Colton Udall won Saturday's race and Kendall Norman won the second day.

Plan on us being there next year! (And I promise there will be pictures next year!)

Bigger isn't always Better

Many customers fall into the 'bigger is better' trap and shop only for the
largest sway bar they can find. Sometimes this works, but many times they
are compromising their vehicle's performance. If other modifications have
been made - increased spring rate, lowered height, change in roll center,
etc. - the best sway bar may be smaller. The vehicle is a combination of
its parts and it doesn't care how massive and cool the bar may look, it only
cares how the sway bar interacts with the rest of its components. This is
why Hellwig produces adjustable sway bars for many applications. The
adjustable sway bar allows you to tune the vehicle to your driving style and
suspension components. We also manufacture more than one diameter for
popular applications to allow the customer to match the right sway bar to
the vehicle.

Hellwig introduces new Hellwig Motorsports Tubular Sway Bars

Hellwig Motorsports Tubular Sway Bars feature our latest designs and utilize high strength tubular DOM steel to maximize performance but with up to half the weight of a solid bar. Hellwig quality shows in the details such as end treatments where the sway bar is tapered from round to flat to eliminate stress risers. Also, the ends are radiused for better clearance and clean appearance. All bends are done on computer-controlled benders to provide consistent bends in a sway bar that fits right every time.

Hellwig's Sponsored Vehicle makes Top 10 list


Check out the whole article or read about Hellwig's sponsored SEMA vehicle here:

Tortuga Expedition Vehicle

Adventure seeker Gary Wescott's Turtle Expedition creations are a SEMA exhibit staple. After 37 years of gallivanting around the world in a series of specialized Ford trucks, his creation is going into production as the Tortuga Expedition Vehicle. This is the Turtle V, the Expedition Vehicle prototype built on a Ford F-550 chassis and carrying a Tortuga Living Module. Crammed with everything required and nothing unnecessary, the Expedition Vehicle is the ultimate SUV. The rear module features sleeping, bathing and cooking amenities, while the truck is hardened like an Abrams tank against both Mother Nature and human beings. With a suppliers list five pages long noting almost 200 companies, the Tortuga exemplifies the huge range of truck accessories.

Hellwig received the Ford Excellence Award


Hellwig 2009 F150 Project Vehicle


Hellwig received the Ford Excellence award at the 2009 SEMA show in Recognition for our outstanding 2009 Project Vehicle.

Check out the project:

Baja Moto Chase Truck
In keeping with the spirit of motorcycle racing in the deserts of California and Mexico we have developed a concept vehicle that lets the Ford Truck enthusiast relate to the demands of the Off-road Chase Team. Bringing together the latest advances in Hellwig Products suspension systems along with complementary aftermarket products from other manufacturers; our goal is to present a concept vehicle that embodies the attributes necessary to perform as a Baja Chase Truck. The emphasis for this concept vehicle will be on off-road handling performance, agility, rough terrain capability and race support. Hellwig Products development team will develop adjustable front and rear sway-bars featuring specially formulated poly-urethane suspension isolators and high performance chassis link systems. Hellwig leaf spring stabilizer traction control will be integrated in to the rear suspension. Performance wheels and tires along with R&D multi-piston stainless steel disc brakes, Skyjacker performance shocks and Banks performance exhaust for possible fuel efficiency will be used. We will add styling which highlights the “Baja Chase” look.

New Pro Touring Sway Bars



The new Pro-Touring adjustable sway bar kits for GM A-Body applications are
now available. These kits relocate the sway bar from the lower control arms
to the rear axle, which improves handling by allowing the suspension to
freely articulate. The sway bar is made from 1-1/8" diameter alloy tubing to
reduce weight and incorporates 3 holes to adjust roll stiffness so that the
suspension can be tuned to match suspension upgrades and/or track
conditions. The sway bar is connected to the frame with adjustable end links
that accommodate stock or lowered ride heights. The end links are connected
to the frame with our integral clevis/tailpipe hanger (pat pending) that
allows factory exhaust hangers to be used with the kit. The kit includes
polyurethane bushings and all hardware required for installation. Part
numbers are as follows:

55868 68-72 GM A-Body 1-1/8" Adj RSB
55864 64-67 GM A-Body 1-1/8" Adj RSB
