looking for front sway bar part number - there's too many!

[mike_ct]

need a factory front sway bar for my truck. tried an aftermarket and its junk.
does anyone have the part number or has ordered one recently?
my truck is a 2019 5.7 bighorn, crew, 4x4, short bed, not sure what other variables come into play.

I tried looking by vin on various mopar parts sites, but I still get multiple options and not sure which one is correct.

What aftermarket sway bar did you buy?

Curious, was it Hellwig or Bell that you swapped in? (I'm not aware of any other brand of Front Swaybar manufacturer for DT Ram 1500s?).

Here's the Front OEM Swaybar that your looking for (looks like you have a 5.7L CC 4x4 as I do)..with the PN on it...68361445AG...


Hope this helps

appreciate it! I have the hellwigs. the rear is ok. the front is stiffer, which is great, that isn't the problem.
the problem is with the design of the brackets, and the crappy provision to prevent the bar from shifting left or right.

the factory bars have a "washer" welded, and it centers the bar prevents shifting..factory brackets are nice and heavy to support the side loads.

the hellwig bar, does not have these. it comes with a set of clam-shell/clamp on/locking collars. and they simply ride against the metal brackets..and the hellwig brackets dont really have a flat spot provision. the whole locking collar seems to be an after thought after they realized ohh crap, the bar keeps moving back and forth

anyway, its super noisy, metal on metal, I grease it constantly, tried a little teflon spacer in there, I'm just done with it.

Yep, there's a reason the Factory put locators on their F& R swaybars..the bars can't do their job efficiently if they move.
