;c working on installing my rear sway bar right now. These tips helped, but talk about some crappy instructions from hellwig! 3 different type of nuts in the kit, and it doesnt tell you which ones are for what.
Finish of the bar was pretty crappy, all rough, but the beltsander and repowdercoating took care of that.

the fit of the stuff is horrible though. the nuts don't thread on the bolts very easliy, they tend to cross thread quite often ;c

I'm almost done, just waitinig for this rain to stop. gotta tighten up the bolts and put on the endlinks.

The truck better handle a million times better, because right now i'm not impressed with Hellwig at all

I agree installation was a PITA and the finish is rough. I ended up stripping the bolts that came in the kit. They are grade eight fine thread. Not easy to find replacements...
