Default Hellwig Rear Anti-Sway Bar ?

ok i just wanted some more information on this from people who have them. are they worth it? there is a guy selling his for a $100 or $150 to install in my area. is this a good deal? he says its been on his truck for about 12k miles and is in excellent condition. can you really tell a difference with the handling from it? thanks

I have heard that they are awesome. But no experience with them.

Best single thing I did for mine in terms of "bang for the buck". There are some s-curves near my house. Before the swaybar, 60-65 was it and the tires complained a fair bit. With the swaybar, the tires don't fuss 'till 75 or so (the "advisory speed" for these curves is 35). Easy install, too.

You already have one on the front. You can improve it, but the "return on investment" won't be as great as the RSB. Get the rear one. If you feel you need more, get some stiffer shocks.

Our trucks only come with the front bar and not the rear correct? So really any bar would make a difference. Anyone have clearance issue's?

Correct-a-mundo, as The Fonz would say. No clearance issues with stock exhaust. However, if you plan to do an after-market exhaust, put the RSB in first.

Hmmm. Guess they've gone up. I think I got mine from www.suspensionparts.com Hope that's right. Looks like they've gone up, too.
