Im gonna go for some Hellwigs. ADDCO doesnt make bad sways either!!

I like Hotchkiss a lot also, but they are a bit pricier, but they have the best hardware and are lighter weight due to the hollow design. I like the fact that Hellwig uses spring steel, but tend to be heavier due to the solid design. Hellwig's hardware can be a bit cheezy. Finish is not on the same level as ADDCO or Hotchkiss.

I put a new front and rear set on a Camaro I had and they worked great for the few years after that I kept the car.

I guess laziness is the biggest thing holding me back on them. I don't want to drill holes and move my gastank for the install.

I think I may have read the answer to this already, but with the hellwig, does the swaybar attach to the top of the axle or the bottom? Does anyone have a pic?

Thanks again for the info guys.

the sway bar attachs under the axle. The ends of the sway bar point towards the back of the truck. Not a bad install just takes a bit to get it centered.

You can still have the spare tire underneath the truck for storage after the install.

As I recall the directions were not that great for the install but it is pretty straight forward
