2004 2500hd Crew Cab

[rjirvine]

Just wanted to add this idea to my friends 2004 2500HD crew cab (see my 245 vs 285 post). Since he has the new Michelin LTX at2 285 tires and monroe reflex shocks. I told him that a front/rear sway bar upgrade will be a nice performance upgrade. He doesn't have a rear sway bar. Would you go with hellwig or addco...or something else? also, where to buy?

forgot to add: I added a hellwig front and rear sway bar (ok front torsion bar) to my 2000 1500 ecsb silverado. The cornering is awesome. A friend was driving my truck behind me while I was road testing his suburban after a brake change, and when he turned into his development he smacked his head on the drivers window and got a nice "goose egg" on his temple. His comment was, "wow, your truck really turns sharp"

I'm also thinking about adding sway bars since my 2008 has a LOT more body roll than my 1995.

 

I've used Hellwig on previous vehicles and been mostly happy. I did find their hardware (nuts/bolts/etc) to be sub par and replaced it with higher grade hardware before installing. I've never tried Addco so I can't help you there.

 

 

Edit: If I decide to pull the trigger on these, I'll also upgrade to the Greasable Sway Bar Bushings from Energy Suspensions. I don't want to be listening to them a year down the road.
