Mine showed up around 12:15 PM today. Quick fitment check on the end links and they will be able to be utilized even if you do not have a lift in the rear (if you so choose). I'll install mine, and if they give me any issues down the road, I can resort back to my stock end links. The Hellwigs are much beefier than stock.

Since I couldn't get a payment or shipping processed Sunday or Monday, even after calling in the order, they went so far as to change the $125 bar price in my cart to the $305 price.

Glad to hear that. The stock links are kind of junky. I was hoping I could use a set of the Hellwig links.

I ordered Saturday morning,
I received order confirmation but no shipping info yet.
I reached out yesterday and today and they're looking into the actual company that it ships from.
They opened a ticket and supposed to reach out to see what the hold up is. I didn't mention anything about price mistake. They said it's usually 2 to 3 business days, so hoping to hear something by tomorrow at the latest.
Here's what they sent me

They’re going to see the pricing mistake on yours. That’s how they found out about mine then they offered me 10% off the regular price.

They told me it s on back order and they would refund my money unless they received more within 5 days. I’d bet instead they just aren’t shipping any more purchased at the low price n

Had to flatten 2 of the washers with the bench grinder to get them to lay flat and marked that side of the D bracket with a paint pen so when installed I would know and put that side on the bottom. Pregreased both sides of the end links and rubber hourglass bushing and pressed them in the end links with a shop press, then pregreased the O.D. of the steel bushings and pressed them into the I.D. of the rubber hourglass bushings with a shop press.
The only thing that I wish would be different in the kit would be the bushings in the top of the end links, you have to use the stock bolt there, no choice and the steel bushing for the rubber hourglass bushing is for the bolts they send with the kit and there is play there with the stock bolts. May have to look at that area later, may become an issue, maybe not. When I installed, I let the end links hang from the top bolt hand tight not attached at all on the sway bar, then tightened them to the frame of the truck with the stock bolt pretty damn tight, I put a lot of a$$ into it because I knew there was potential play there. Should have taken a pic of that area, but with the elephant snot grease all over my hands, I opted not to get that on my phone.

TIP: The best way to get the elephant snot off your hands is to spray your hands with a penetrating lube, I use Aerokroil, but WD40 or whatever you have would work. After spraying, rub hands together to break that snot up, then wash with fast orange or dish soap.

Test drive home is about 6-7 miles, took the long way over a couple of tracks and some big curves, much improved over stock and I was thinking that with the Air Lift spring bags, this would be negligible, but they cannot compensate for what this sway bar does, a very nice addition to my modified truck, ride quality is better than it was when completely stock.

Stock D bracket bolts are 15mm socket head
Hellwig D bracket bolts are 8mm allen head
Stock top end link bolt is 16mm socket head
Hellwig bottom end link bolt socket head is 9/16" (or 16mm) and nut is 11/16" (or 18mm)
End link jam nut is 7/8"

I talk to a lady today too, and she didn't say anything about the price being wrong only that mine should of shipped out already and was going to open a ticket and send it to their shipping dept, then she asked what a sway bar was lol.
I also received the same email right after speaking to the rep, so I'll just wait to see what they say and go from there.
