Hellwig sway bars reduce body roll so you benefit from better vehicle control and greatly improved cornering traction for safer driving and turning capabilities. They feature fast, easy, "Bolt-on" installation with simple hand tools and include polyurethane bushings. Hellwig sway bars have a greater surface area than the typical factory sway bar, which gives it better roll resistance.

Hellwig sway bars are heat formed and coined as one piece to insure they will be the most durable, strongest and that they will be the most resistant to form alteration, important factors to consider in an anti-sway bar.

 

So if you want better control of your 2014 Ram 2500, upgrade to a Hellwig sway bar from TruckSpring.com.

Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch

drawtite ultraframe trailer hitch

Are you looking to do some heavy-duty towing with full sized truck, van or utility vehicle? Then you need a heavy-duty trailer hitch that can get the job done. The Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch is up to the challenge. This frame hitch is designed for full-sized long wheel based trucks and vans, as well as utility vehicles with heavy-duty suspensions. These hitches’ strong and secure side bracket design, heavy-duty all frame attachment and solid all-welded construction makes it ideal for marine and commercial use.

We recently installed the Draw-Tite 41926 Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch on a Ford E-150 Econoline Van. The owner of the Econoline needed a hitch with extra towing capacity to tow his large boat. The OEM hitch had an inadequate gross trailer weight capacity and an upgrade to the Draw-Tite hitch was necessary to ensure safe and secure operation.

DrawTite Hitch Type
The OEM frame hitch was rated for a 5,000 lbs. max. gross trailer weight and 500 lbs. max. tongue weight in a weight carrying (WC) configuration and in a weight distributing (WD) configuration it is rated for 10,000 lbs. max. gross trailer weight and 1,000 max. tongue weight.

In comparison, the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame hitch has a much higher capacity. This hitch has a max. gross trailer weight which is rated up to 10,000 lbs. and 1,000 lbs. tongue weight for a weight carrying (WC) configuration or up to 12,000 lbs. max. gross trailer weight and 1,200 lbs. max. tongue weight in a weight distribution configuration.


drawtite trailer hitch installation

When placed side-by-side, the differences between the OEM frame hitch and the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame hitch are not apparent. However, the extra weight capacity of the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame has the strength necessary to pull the customer’s large marine craft.

These hitches feature a 2 inch square receiver tube and an E-coat base with a black powder finish. Custom built to manufacturer and model year specifications, these hitches will fit your vehicle perfectly for top towing performance that can withstand the toughest road abuse.

Installation of the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame trailer hitch is fairly simple and only takes about 30 minutes. Installation does not require drilling or any special tools. 

The Draw-Tite 41926 Ultra Frame Trailer Hitch fits the following vehicles:

  • Econoline Van E150 2000 – 2011 Ford E-150 Econoline full sized vans
  • 2000 – 2011 Ford E-250 Econoline full sized vans & Super Wagons
  • 2000 – 2011 Ford E-350 Econoline full sized vans
