Hellwig Rear Sway Bar 7793 VS 7709

[CHeYeNNe71]

Hellwig states on their site that for the 7709 you need P/N 7961 if your truck did not come with stock endlinks. My endlinks were upgraded to the ones with the BDS 6in lift. Can I just do the 7709? The 7961 are Universal Adjustable Straight End Link and they are like $200.

Yes you'll be fine with the 7709. I'm not sure what BDS links look like, but highly suggest checking out CORE4X4 Links.

Was just watching a video on the core endlinks. Did you end up getting the town, trail or track? I see each one of them are a bit thicker than the other.

Any will work. It really depends on how you use your truck. If it's more for looks and you stay on pavement use the towns, some off road then get the trail.

On my 4th Gen they only had top of the line. This truck just doing town adjustable arms and panhard with solid links

I'd personally save the $200+ and grab the 7709 and put towards better things.

Actually, the difference is only $115

IF you find it for only $115 more, Grab it then. I have not seen it that close. Just a quick search shows. Also previously having the 7709, I'm not sure the extra 1/8" and $100+ would be worth spending. Put it towards the SuspensionMaxx front Sway Links.

I have an email in to Hellwig asking this question but I have not, as of yet received a response. So I will pose the question to you guys.
Which has more torsional rigidity: A 7709 at it's maximum setting or a 7793 at it's softest setting? Let the speculation begin.

 

[CHeYeNNe71]

Yes!

 

[E.Hands]

Yes!

I'm trying to justify spending the extra $200 on the bigger bar.
If I were lifted or did any towing at all it would be a no-brainer. Which I'm not and I don't.
But I do like to attack the local roundabouts like they're F1 chicanes!
I'm trying to avoid living with 7709 at max and still wondering if I would've preferred a lil bit more roll resistance.

When I had the 7709 on a 6" lift w/ 37's I ran the middle and was fine and noticed the difference from stock. Definitely interested in their response, but I'll probably stick with another 7709, IF I don't go Belltech F/R set.

Buy once and no regrets!

No regrets with saving $200 and running the 7709 which gets the job done already. That will buy the front from Belltech or other things that will make a difference.

Got the Belltech in yesterday, It is beefy. The three modes are OEM, sport, and tow haul. Part of me wants to go straight to tow/haul. I haul my trailer 2-3 times a month and I could really feel the sway around corners with the trailer on it. Got some Core links to go with it, just got the town series 13" long. Using the Belltech with the town series saves some cash toward the suspensionmax front links.

I think I'll go with the 7709
BTW-the sub $200 bars on Amazon never mention the Hellwig brand name even once. I will be purchasing from them directly.

Good to know. I will still probably go the 7709 since it worked great before and didn't even use the 3rd hole option. I can't see needing it stiffer for $200 more, plus only going 3" this time.

Maybe with towing it would be worth it. I don't tow.

Pulled the trigger and ordered the 7709 from realtruck. They have the lower price and free shipping.

How much? I know Amazon has for $198.

Didn't go the amazon route but Amazon shows it at $267.

Realtruck had it for the same price.

 

[CHeYeNNe71]

Look above, they just had it for $198. They usually do.

I saw that one but since it didn't say Hellwig. I thought it was a no name brand. Did not see Hellwig anywhere other than the 7709.
