Hellwig Rear Sway Bar PN 7724

[Stang]

Got tired of waiting on the group buy. These are available from Summit Racing today for $275 shipped. Not sure if this will have the upgraded links or not.

Yeah, sorry guys. They never got back with me, not sure what happened

I wouldn't sweat it, MTUH3. It's not that expensive anyway as far as mods go.
What could they offer 10% off. For me this would not be a deal breaker considering the benefits the sway bar does.

Would you ever think to run this sway bar and a set of traction bars??

Would they both fit or with both would they maybe rub on something?

I was looking at another post on here of some heavy duty traction bars that looked very nice.

Yes, I've looked at that scenario for quite some time now and it will work with the Rogue Racing's one. http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f9/traction-bars-43072/#post880414

Traction bars like the one Skyl3r is running won't, unless you relocate the rear connection point to the outside of the lower shock bracket,
or weld a plate onto the side of the lower shock mount or fab up something that will bolt up to the U-bolts.

No big deal. I won't pass up a discount but $30 or whatever they might discount it isn't a deal breaker like MTF said.

Anyone know if I have the new or old links based on the pic below and/or have a contact email for Hellwig? Box has a date code of 3-23-15

Looks like Yukon Joe's links so they're the revised ones.
With the original end links the rod goes across the whole eyelet.
On the revised ones they can now put a weld at the end of the rod.
1/4" is a very small amount of revision.

They look like revised links (third generation).

Completed the install yesterday which was super easy. Very nicely designed kit and everything lined up perfectly.

Hit the first corner and could tell the rear is more controlled. Over bumps it is slightly stiffer but feels better if that makes sense. Under power out of a turn it definitely hooks up better. In my limited testing on back country roads I would say pick any corner and add 15mph conservatively to what you used to be comfortable with. Looking forward to hitting the highway and some off ramps.

Take a look at my pic below. I thought I had it level but looks a little lower than some other pics in this thread although still above the diff center section. How far in do you guys have your end links threaded? I didn't think mine were all that far in but looks like I may have to let them out a little.
