Will A Hellwig Rear Anti-Sway Bar Help With Stability While Towing with A 2022 Ford Expedition XL

Question:

I have a 2022 Ford Expedition XL STX, short wheel base, rear wheel drive with tow package and WDH. I have considerable movement in vehicle, in windy conditions and when a 18-wheeler flies by, while towing 6200 lb travel trailer. 800 lb tongue weight. Tail wagging the dog? Trailer stays nice and straight. Would the hellwig stabilizer bar help? It looks to be the same diameter as the current bar that is on the vehicle.

Hey Michael,

Adding to or enhancing your suspension would help with body roll and side-to-side movement. When it comes to anti-sway bars you'll want to go with whichever is the thickest. The Hellwig # HE74GR is 7/8" thick so you can measure your factory bar and see if it's thicker.

You could also install some Coil SumoSprings # CSS-1168R in the rear and front # CSS-1168F to stiffen up the suspension and also help with load leveling support.
