Who's got rear sway bars installed?

Trucks dont. The suv does because the suspension is different. Trucks have leaf springs and suvs are multi link coil

Would the addition of this rear sway bar hurt any aspect of the ride quality (basically will the ride be more stiff). I may add one to help with towing the camper and just wanted some 1st hand experiences. Thanks

I dont think you will notice much difference in ride, but you will notice less body roll. Dunno how it would help for towing, as I do not have any experience with rear sway bars on leaf spring trucks.

Installed Hellwig's sway bar on my 2015 Sierra SLE Z71 Regular cab regular box, and the difference is significant. Much less body roll, definitely a sportier ride, and no noticeable negatives as far as ride quality.

Try punching the throttle on your truck from a stand still and turning left or right through an intersection. My truck hardly leans at all and is planted.

It Definitely helped my RCSB a bunch.... Mine is on the middle setting.

I have the hellwig rear on the middle hole and makes a huge difference. Much flatter in the turns.

@ thetruck54 and 07Softtail..............can you comment on the difference in ride quality and handling when set to the softest setting versus the middle setting?

thetruck454 · June 17, 2016

Because I installed it with the borla exhaust the middle gave the most clearance so that's all I run it in. I didn't notice a ride quality difference, but I'd say the truck handles very neutral now and can oversteer with a jab of throttle. If you go into a corner hot, the truck won't plow, but lose grip at both front and rear together. With stabilitrak disabled, you can wack the throttle mid corner and actually drift through the rest without fear of the front end giving out.

With my Regular cab the the center is my setting and difference with the ride on smooth roads but rough roads the rear will skip around if you hit really bad bumps that you can't avoid. The Stiff setting was too much with the short wheelbase for my taste as it felt too chippy in the rear and would over steer to easy. I can really haul ass around cloverleafs intering the interstate or exiting them and I have good tires that are planted all of the time now.

Hmmm, ok...........I have mine on my RCSB in the softest setting. I'll have the shop move it to the middle. Might as well try it right?

Hey guys, anybody running the RC 3" block and shock extension with a sway bar? Is there such a kit? With my level and big 33x12.5 the rear still likes to get squirrely on a hard corner with rough pavement causing SCS to go rouge and in turn drive me insane. A swaybar or a SCS delete is what i need.

Think Hellwig makes a sway bar for lifted trucks...if recall no high than 4" though.

Lamby66 · October 11, 2016

Hey guys, for those of you that have installed the 7735 rear swaybar, do any of you have the stock 6.2 exhaust? before I open my box to find it does not fit, I would like to know if it will clear the stock resonator in my 2016. It looks like it would interfere if it travels more than 2 inches from level.

Thanks in advance
