Hellwig Sway Bar on a Rebel

[AmericanRebelution]

I thought I remembered a thread on this from a while back, but I can't seem to track it down.

Anyways, looking for some feedback from members who have installed a Hellwig sway bar on a Rebel. I'm leaning towards installing one. I do use my truck off-road, but truth is that it's on the road a lot more than it's off. Would like to hear some thoughts regarding on and off-road comparisons between the Hellwig and stock. I've read a lot of the other Hellwig threads, but I'd like to hear specifically from Rebel owners so I'm comparing "apples to apples".

Significant difference in mine after the install. More planted in corners and on ramps. I'd do it again.

Did you install it yourself and if so how was the job?

Which setting are you using?

I've got one on my Rebel, set to the middle setting. It definately handles better. I've only done minor off-road activities w/ it (gravel or mild dirt roads) but I think it was money well spent at this point.

Easy install. Definitely got rid of the body roll. I have it on the middle hole setting. Handles so much better. There is some great install videos on YouTube to show how easy and what you need. Buy it yesterday!

Super easy install on the middle setting. Only word of advise is to use a good marine grease on the bushings. The stuff that came with it washed out quickly and caused squeaking.

Yesssss. Went with synthetic red after that happened to me.

Can you link which one you used? Finding a lot on amazon and not sure which one to go with.

I used Quicksilver 8M0071838. No regrets. One application zero issues since.

I had some already in the gun. I'm pretty confident that it's Mobil 1 synthetic red.

Okay after reading all the positive reviews I'm ready to install. Where are you guys getting the best price at? Also it looks like the #7709 is the part number for the Rebel. On Amazon it shows a chrome finish, which I don't want.

Who uses the tightest settings? what is the difference from the middle setting? Thinking about trying it out.

I got my from amazon - right now 282 is the best you are gonna do. You may find a few sites with it cheaper but the shipping will make it more

2019 RAM 1500 hellwig swaybar

Hey guys I got a 2019 Laramie Crew 5.7L 4x4 I just got back from Hellwig to let you know about their swaybar setups. We confirmed that the previous generation swaybar fits the 2019 like a glove. The ride quality has improved a lot and feels so much more stable in and out of corners. The...

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these. Watched all the YouTube videos so far. For the folks in this thread who installed this sway bar did you use the factory end links and factory rubber bushings or the Hellwig ones?

 

[Daverous]

Factory end links and hellwig bushings on mine. Still a huge difference. I imagine once I swap out the factory bilsteins it'll be even more controlled.

Totally worth it...I have it on the middle setting and it made a huge difference with my 4in BDS lift.

Awesome, that is the answer I was hoping for, thanks! I'm happy enough with the stock ride but if this makes it better that would be a bonus for me as I suspect the stock rubber bushings are causing my weird and annoying chirp during the winter months so changing the sway bar looks like win win scenario.

A little silicone grease will take care of that

Bought mine from Walmart.com last week believe it or not for $271.30. Purchased on 7/1 and was delivered yesterday. Best price I could find. Certainly a lot more than the $224 I paid for the same item five years ago for my 2015 Ram.
