UnderCover Truck Covers

UnderCover's patented design offers ease of use and versatility, according to the manufacturer. 

Quick-release struts and a new hidden hinge allow cover removal without tools in just seconds. At just 58 lbs. average weight, UnderCover is the lightest hard-locking cover on the market. Wall-mount hardware is included to store the cover when not in use. 

Additional features include an interior dome light, pull-down strap, secure dual-twist locks, and full perimeter weather-tight seal. The black OEM textured finish compliments trucks of any color.  

UnderCover also introduces the SwingCase, "the most innovative and versatile truck storage box ever made," according to a company spokesperson.  

Built of lightweight, high-impact ABS plastic, the weatherproof SwingCase is custom-fitted to individual fleet applications. The company claims two SwingCases can be purchased for less than the price of an old-fashioned truck bed box, with added space savings. 

The SwingCase provides within-reach storage without sacrificing truck bed use. When the release lever is pulled, gear swings out, allowing easy access to the truck bed. 

Hellwig Products 

Manufactured with heat-treated ASTM 5150 alloy spring steel in the company's California-based facility, Pro Series helper springs increase a vehicle's level-load carrying capacity by 2,500 lbs. 

The units feature a patented bolt-on design, "Silent Ride" polyurethane stability blocks, and plated- and powder-coated components. 

With its progressive rate design, the helper spring system provides enhanced load-carrying control and stability. As loads increase, the spring rate automatically increases to resist sagging and tail dragging.
