Proposed Group Buy: Hellwig Anti-Sway Bar

[Hobbes]

This poll is for a group buy for the Hellwig anti-sway bar. Many TSers have voted this mod as their best aftermarket item that they have added to their Tundra, especially for the price. If you are unfamiliar with this product, please see Hellwig's site or read through the following threads: the Q&A thread, another one, and recent experiences. There are many more threads about this product that you can find by doing a SEARCH.

This group buy is for TS Subscribers only (registered users please subscribe and begin enjoying the many benefits of TS.com).

The details for the anti-sway bar are as follows:
Vendor: Hellwig Products
Part Number: 7641 (1 1/8" diameter, steel, black, Tundra anti-sway bar kit)
Price: $150 + shipping via UPS Ground (bulk item rate applies)
Delivery Time: 3-4 days, most likely less since this is an off-the-shelf item, plus UPS's delivery time

There is not a minimum quantity required to get the discount but there are not any additional price breaks for large quantity orders either. I know many on this site ordered this product from Summit Racing, but they are not willing to participate in a group buy (I contacted 5 companies in total and Hellwig is offering the best deal).

If you'd like to participate, please vote Yes before 8/21.

I talked to Nancy at Hellwig and she said UPS 2nd day air would be $91. The only other option would be parcel post (which I believe is through normal US Postal Service) would be about $20, but it will take about 2 weeks to get to you. She didn't mention FedEx as an option. Would either of these work for you?

I lived in Anchorage for 7 years, so I feel your pain concerning shipping costs.

I just checked out Hellwig's website. It says that the 2005 Tacoma swaybars will be "coming soon", figures. Looks like I can't participate.

[Jaketparker]

Parcel post will be fine. Just wanted to make sure UPS wasnt the only option. I really dont feel like paying over half the price of the sway bar in shipping charges. So you can still count me in. over and out

Just like the question above mine. I see it says bulk rate applies. Do we know how much the bulk rate is? That could jump the price right up to what a normal purchase would be through summit?

I am in if the shipping is the right price to los angeles.

I'm in 150.00 is a good price, plus shipping is still cheaper than many other sites i've checked.

Due to forum rules, this poll must remain open for 10 days which brings us to 8/21. Since we've already had enough responses, you will have 7 days to place your order with Hellwig (8/22 - 8/29). You should then receive the items within 3-7 days after that (my estimate). Could you have it delivered to a friend and pick it up from them when you return? Just a thought.

I finally figured UPS' website out...I think. Hellwig is located between Fresno and Bakersfield, CA. Their zip code is 93292. If I am doing this correctly, Los Angeles is considered Zone 2 and the shipping cost will be $9.98. Their is no where on their charts that indicate an additional charge for oversized items, which the bar will be. So it may be slightly more than that. You can look up your zone here under the ground column based on the first three digits of your zip code and then check the rate here based on your zone and the shipping weight of 36 lbs. The size of the package is 46x29x3 inches. When you enter this info directly into their cost estimator, they list all of the air freights but not the ground rate . Worst case (excluding AK and HI) is $41 shipping to New York. She was going to give me a cost that included shipping, but realized she would be screwing over the Californians and benefitting the east coast so she left shipping out of the price.

Nancy said that Hellwig looked into making a quick disconnect set but then went to SEMA and found that there are many other companies that offer this product. Apparently they had come up with a design and she is checking to see if they would be willing to make some and sell them to those who want them. Overall, they decided not to offer them directly since the market is saturated with quick disconnect products. She is also going to look up a few companies that do make them and that will fit the Tundra kit and I will relay the contact information. So please hold on while she gets me the details. I haven't read these other threads but she definitely believes that they are out there if you guys have been having a hard time locating them.

So many questions ! Keep them coming and I will do my best to provide timely answers.

I do not know about this price . I just bought mine Hellwig anti-sway bar from JCWhitney for $135 plus shipping. I bought two items and shipping was $21.99 so I think that $150 shipped is more reasonable. I think that they should be able to give a better deal for volume sales. Just my opinion but I do praise the product as I have noticed a night/day difference with mine and highly recommend it.
