Same here, this is my 6th Ram (1500s and 2500s). All but one lifted/leveled. Never noticed the wind push in the others like I do this one. But in some ways, wind push is similar to sway, which is why I asked the question.

Answered my own question after I bought one. YES, it does help with the wind push. I still feel it, but it's much easier to manage as you don't have to correct anything. The truck is so much more accurate now, and I'm only on the outer hole.
The adjustable links though, they aren't great. Mainly the bushings and bushing sleeves. I'm on my second set from Hellwig (they said they had a 'better' one that fits the top stock bolt better), but it still crushes the bushing out unevenly. Gonna try a different set of washers that fit the bolt better, but it just seems like the bushings are too long, or the sleeves are too short. We'll see what they come up with.

get the core4x4 links
I am looking at buying the Hellwig Rear Sway bar, and saw that they offer a Front Sway Bar. Has anyone installed this or have thoughts on its functionality?
Must be a new release because there wasn't an option for one before

Dang that is expensive. I got the rear sway bar from the military exchange website for $180. I'll keep an eye out for the front sway bar.

I looked on the AAFES marketplace site. Nothing for the front…yet.
If Hellwig's fail and they refund me, I will! Those Core's are beefy, they look like the Thuren's I had on my 2500s. But, so far after about 1500 miles everything is still in place so we'll see what happens.
Regarding the front sway bar, I thought someone (maybe in this thread) posted that Hellwig thought Ram's front sway bar was plenty sufficient. But I can definitely tell the rear is tighter than the front now, even on the lightest setting.

Just ordered the hellwig sway bar for my 21 Limited. Quick question for those that live in the rust belt. I'm on the east coast of Canada where we see a ton of road salt. Are these sway bars known to rust? Should I paint it? Have it powercoated? Or just give it a good blast of undercoating? Thoughts?
Not in the rust belt but I am in the salty and humid florida environment and I gave it a few coats of paint and clear coat 20,000 miles ago and its holding up great!

That’s what I like to hear. No paint or undercoating added to yours?
