Rear swaybar

[Sour_Squirrel]

Ever wonder why GM didn't put a rear swaybar on to the 1500 series trucks?

I noticed Dodge has them on their 1500 RAM pickups.    

I see Hellwig has an aftermarket rear swaybar that bolts right up. 

Now for all those that will say do a search, I did do a search but that post is old.  I was wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with installing one on your truck.

Did it make any difference in handling?

Now how about guys with lifted trucks?

I have a 6" BDS lift.

Can you use the swaybar with longer end links? 

I'm trying to determine if it's even worth it.  

I had a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee and had my factory swaybar removed and them bought a bigger diameter aftermarket (Addco) swaybar.  

And to be honest I didn't feel any difference between the stock swaybar, no swaybar and the Addco swaybar. 

But then again that's a different vehicle...

I will tell you why they don't MONEY 50.00 X 750,000 you get the picture?

 

I have Hellwig on back and yes if you have a lift just get the longer hangers is all...Did it improve the handling without harshness?  Yes, it is night and day difference without harshness on middle setting.  I just installed the front Hellwig sway bar UNREAL the difference now my steering is muted and feels like Half power on that stupid Electric power steering and I am not constantly trying to keep it in the Lane so to speak because of the EPS steering?  I am stock so can't speak for other guys......

Remember the sway bar your looking at is for "trailering" and it's 300% more robust than a Ram or Ford 250 sway bar?  It will get the job done Son!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the Ram rear sway bar standard due to their independent suspension?

I believe your correct...only decent one that compares to Hellwig is the Toyota add on TRD for Tundra it's beefy!

Ram rear suspension is coil sprung, but not independent. The rear coils are a lot softer, so to make the handling the least bit capable, they added a rear stabilizer bar.
