Default Hellwig Sway Bar Clearance?

I want to go with the Hellwig Sway Bar, but looking under my truck this morning it seems the stock resonator may pose a clearance issue.

The stock resonator is staying. Not going. The sound is perfect, without drone.


A couple of questions:


How far back do the end links sit in relation to the spare?

Does anyone have pictures that show the undercarriage and the end links placement? Has to be a truck with the stock resonator still in place.



Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Sil

I took a picture directly under the passenger side rear. I doubt this is going to work for me. Looks like the Belltech is the way to go.

The general area on the passenger side rear where the end link bracket and end link are suppose to be installed.

Here's a side by side pic of a friend's truck with the Hellwig installed (with resonator) and a pic of my truck. My friend saw this and said it would work. Scott (05RamHendrix) saw it and said it would work.


If anyone else out there wants to give their opinion or real world install feedback of this bar installed with resonator in place, please do.

Couple of pics of the Hellwig installed. Plenty of room on the passenger side, with resonator in place, if anyone was worried about that.

The truck now takes curves great. This is a must upgrade for better handling and control.
