Hellwig Rear Sway Bar PN 7724

[MTF]

Looks good, and yes I left the links a little longer to keep the bar level.
I think I screwed it in about 3/4 of an inch.

Edited 9/14/2015: Correction, I have them threaded in at 1 1/8"

Follow up, so I been pushing the truck the more I drive and I love this sway bar.

One note, I can now see that my springs are just touching the links, didn't even scrape the paint yet.
But I guess I'll have to get the updated links.
I'm surprised to see the rear move that much side to side, I may have to look into the rear shackle upgrade.

Made the call, new links in the mail.

Note: they have revised them again, they now added the 1/4" to the bar so it's laying fully across the eye.

Has anyone moved off the softest setting yet? Results?

 

[MTF]

I have the Rogue Racing Traction bars coming Wednesday next week, so I hope I can put everything together next weekend.
And the new links. I'll switch to the hardest setting and let you know what I think.

Something I've been biting my tongue on for a while:
I'd just like to point out that going to more dampening ( better shocks ) out back will provide the same positive attributes as a rear sway bar, while actually increasing off-road performance as opposed to impairing it.

Totally understand, but for $265 it does exactly what I needed.
Hanging turns on pavement. And weaving in and out around traffic.
I'm even contemplating going bigger with the front sway bay. If someone even makes that.
The rear does out drive the front!!!

Different strokes for different folks. We all use these awesome machines in different ways and there's no one size fits all solution. I have zero need for better shocks when this does the job at a fraction of the price and doesn't effect how I use the truck off road in any way.

Yup, I understand the financials of it.
Just putting it out there so that a ****** raptor owner didn't come along and think this is the path to the ultimate raptor.
Ditching the front sway bar and getting a bunch more damping was the best thing I ever did for handling, on and offroad.

 

[MTF]

I didn't buy it because it is a cheap fix. I know what sway bars are meant to do.

And it works flawlessly!!!

Three's a lot more than just shocks to make a Raptor and ultimate off-road beast.
And no sway bars will help with uneven whoops and wash outs, but for street, that's a matter of preference. IMHO
