2" drop in rear, thinking about Hellwig sway bar

I've already purchased the Accessory Partners 2" drop springs and they're on the way. I was thinking about also throwing in the Hellwig sway bar at the same time. If I do, are relocation brackets needed / required?

TIA

Nothing is required for a 2" rear drop other than basic tools and a frosty beverage

I am looking at the bar as well and have already done the springs. From what I have read no you will not need the brackets.

I will add that I re-located the rear sway links. There is another hole above the factory location on the frame without a welded nut that I used to effectively "shorten" the link. I don't think it was necessary but the bar did seem low, will eventually get 2" shorter links. These factory ones are trash anyways

It seems like it would be "cheap insurance". Does anyone currently make the shorter links?
