Got the sway bar on today, I’m pretty happy with it. I went middle as everyone else suggests but I think I’m the only one who has painted theirs Hydro Blue. I just love the look of that color and I like the idea of a few subtle blue accents to break up the all black of the night edition.

no install photos because it got dark and those damn mosquitoes are nasty 5CE4E841-CAA3-410A-B08C-C17FFE3FC5D3.jpeg

Installed mine yesterday, with the longer end links from hellwig. Put it on the stiffest setting - definitely noticeable, but not life changing. Given that I already swapped the shocks/struts/coils, i'm wondering if the difference is less noticeable. I hated the wallow-y factory ride, and got ride of it for the most part with the lift, so this probably just added to that.

Running it on a pretty heavy laramie with 3.5" rough country struts/shocks/clayton 3.5" coils and 35" load range E tires

Where I notice it the most is in the cloverleaf style onramps. Before, I would feel significant body roll pushing it hard in the curve, now I don't get much body roll which ends up pushing the front tires through the corner and I have to slow down. But going faster than before with body roll

Does AAFES still offer the swaybar? I followed the link and tried manually searching and searching Hellwig in the search bar and nothing comes up.

Yes, but you need to be in the right place.
after logging in, click on Marketplace at the top
Look for the Exchange auto parts store below (specialty)

click on that block.

there you will do your search for the Hellwig. They actually updated the site with current model years for our trucks. When I ordered mine, drop down menu only went to 2018.

good luck.. I hope that helped.

If you are thinking of ordering one, do it now! I ordered in September and just got an email a couple days ago projecting a Christmas shipping date. Side note, if anyone knows where one is in stock, let me know!!!
