03-06 hellwig sway bars
anyone have these installed on the 03-06 expys? driving impressions? ride comfort? do they actually make a difference in corners?

Hellwig has been around forever and is a good brand.
They have come out with a 1 1/2" front bar that should really help the expo in the corners.
The part number is 7689.
The only negative thing to a stiff sway bar is when you go over bumps and only one side hits the bump it will tend to pop the truck up on the side that hit the bump. Also when entering dips from a angle it will cause the same problem.
When both tires hit the bump (Speed bump for example) you will not notice the stiffer bar.
It works by resisting body roll and the stiffer the bar the more resistant to twisting the bar will be.

The sway bars would not do anything for the trailer but they would help keep the expo itself from moving around.
You would notice this most in the wind as the wind basically tries to rotate (flip) the truck on the centerline axis.
Anytime you can keep the truck flatter it will always make you feel more secure.
I just got a 08 Expo 4wd and it is getting bigger bars itself. Good investment if you ask me.
