Yesterday I installed the recently released Hellwig 7987 rear sway bar on my 2023 Raptor.
Shout out to Nick @ Apollo Optics.
I also had a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 2020 Raptor.
The installation is straight forward and did it by myself in a couple of hours in the driveway.
This bar sits above & in-front-of the axle, rather than below & behind as on the leaf spring version.
Keeping it tucked up and away is great packaging and does not affect ground clearance.
The bar has 3 holes for varying stiffness, and I am in the center position.
I drive enthusiastically, so the shocks are usually in Sport.
The truck now handles much better and no more sloppy butt syndrome.
At least not for the truck, anyway.
