Just put it on the stiffest setting. I pushed my truck the other day to where the tires started protesting. Handling was very neutral. If it traction had broke it would have probably been the back end. Which is preferred IMHO.

I added the Hellwig (#7709) to my 2021 Limited. Took about an hour to install. Pissed I had to go buy an 18mm wrench as I assumed it would have not been metric. Over that now.

What a difference, I am extremely pleased and thanks for everyone else talking about this. The truck is fun to drive. Kind of shocked this is not a standard or option with Ram. For $300 ( ok I paid $282) well worth every penny. I think exhaust upgrade is next!

Oh, last comment, I called the dealer, they sent me to the accessories guy and he said $840 installed...I did not know to laugh or just wet myself on the spot. Gave me an idea on mark up.. just saying.

Everything bolt/nut on every vehicle has been metric since 90's

They wanted $840 to install a sway bar? What a bunch of dickheads

I started on the middle setting and felt like it was a bit too much. Went to the softest setting and it was really good, but now I've settled on the middle setting. That seems to be the sweet spot.

Installed Hellwig 7709 today middle setting. Amazing upgrade. Feels much more solid around turns but perhaps a little harder over bumps but may be in my head.

When installing this trac bar, would you upgrade the drop links or keep the standard mopar links?

I thought about painting my red too but wasn't sure how it would look. I'll be removing it soon to do so haha. I just need to get my front hooks painted at the same time.

LOL... I was thinking of painting mine red, but the whole motif of this truck is grey or matte (ish) black. (Yeah, gotta delete the chrome plastic and get new wheels.)

Good to see what the swaybar looks like painted!

Just ordered mine for $196 from AAFES, thanks to those that reminded me that they were on there, save a few bucks.
