I would like to install a rear sway bar on my truck. Anyone have one laying around, or, know the best one to get?? Thanks:ro)

If you do any offroading, the swaybar will kill your articulation unless you set up the joints with a quick release. modified 09-09-2005, 11:35 PM I haven’t seen these, but they have my interest: http://dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23031&highlight=frederico http://dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23029&highlight=frederico http://dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29410&highlight=frederico http://dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20958&highlight=frederico Hellwig sway bars are out there, but there seems to be a lot of complaints about poor hardware and instructions. RichLockyer 09-09-2005, 11:43 PM I had a Hellwig on my Tundra. It too was the subject of many complaints. One, that the nuts don't fit. They supply crush nuts. It's a kind of locknut, but it's really a regular nut that's been pressed in a vice. It is TIGHT, and you'll swear that you're going to strip it threading it on. Impossible to get a torque measurement from it. As to instructions... to anyone who knows how to turn a wrench, what is provided is more than adequate. If you have trouble reinserting the dipstick, then ya... the instructions suck. It's kinda like a full 10" lift with air lockers... if you need more than is provided in the instructions, then the installation is probably over your head. The only thing that I saw as a legit complaint was the finish on the bar itself. It seemed like it was the common greasy black iron with a quick shot of black paint sprayed on it, and some appear to have even been packaged wet. I never had rust issues with mine. Some guys have them stripped and powdercoated. All in all, it was the best $130 I ever spent on that Tundra. | ||
