2014 Rear Sway Bar by Hellwig

kc135fs · March 28, 2014

I just installed front and rear Hellwig sway bar for my 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali 4x4 6.2. Got a good price for both cheaper than I could locally. I had rear sway bar added to my toyota tundra (TRD sway bar) and it did make a difference in handling. So once I got my new truck it was a mod I knew I wanted. There is definitely a noticeable difference in the truck now.

This mod allows your truck to handle more like a sports car in tight curves. Now I am able to take the turn to the on ramp, much faster than before and still feel in control. Could not reach the speed in my truck before I got the sway bar. It really plants the tires to the ground in turns and you don't feel "top heavy". You could probably take the turns as fast and your stomach would allow. I recommend this mod to everyone.

^X2, had them on my 2500HD. If you wanted to be stupid (traffic permitting & driver skill), you could take a corner advising 30 at speeds WELL above that. If you're going to drive at the limits like that to test it, realize, there's little warning if the rear end will kick out so play accordingly.

For the older folks, I won't own a truck again without a Hellwig big wig bar. You sacrifice a bit of comfort on speed bumps taken at a angle and driveways, but the added stability and comfort in a level body is bar-none.

I need to look into this for my truck, the truck rides great but the rear floats around curves and corners. I'm not expecting it to handle like my SS but this may help.

I would wager I could have kept up or passed a SS on handling with my shocks set on stiff. But the 2500hd suspension is inherently stiffer. If the minor inconveniences of speed-bumps and the occasion pothole don't bother you(As it will increase spring-rate went the suspension isn't on a level surface). You'll love the sway bars.
