Yes I would've put some synthetic grease on it this winter. However, I ordered the Hellwig sway bar yesterday so I will most likely use my own synthetic grease on the bushings instead of the stuff they provide. Looking forward to installing the sway bar.
Well that's interesting info kinda makes me glad that I didn't order it from Amazon, though I'm with ya I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it. According to my tracking info mine is set to arrive on Friday and I'm really looking forward to it!
Well my Hellwig sway bar arrived yesterday (a day earlier than expected) and I installed it first thing this morning. Install was super easy. I think the longest part of the install was getting it out of the box (not kidding). My truck is only a couple weeks shy of being 1 year old so removing the stock sway bar was very easy and so was installing the Hellwig bar. I picked the middle setting like most others and I used Hellwigs bushings with the stock end links and stock bolts. I also used Loctite synthetic grease on the bushings instead of the stuff that was provided.

Good suggestion, I think I will paint mine.
I would like to know this as well. When I was on the Tundra forum a lot, this seemed to be an issue. Of course different rear end.
I can't say for sure cause I haven't hit the rough terrain since I put it on but I'm honestly not worried about it. If I think it's an issue down the road I will just use the outermost mounting holes which according to Hellwig is like stock. Being able to easily change the stiffness is a huge bonus with the Hellwig sway bar! You could always contact them and see what they have to say.
If you have a sway bar, you have end links. Basically a skinny straight bar that connects the frame to the sway bar. They'll be just to the inside of the wheel right behind the air bags/spring depending on your suspension setup.
OK, thanks. I think I saw that part in a video of someone installing the Hellwig, though they didn't identify it..
Dumb question. Been reading on this forum and few others that Hellwig is better than stock.
It doesn't matter. I have the air ride with a 5 inch lift. I still bought the 7709 because my lift kit came with longer end links anyway. The 7883 kit is just if you want nice adjustable endlinks.I just got my Rebel yesterday. took 8 months to build it
Does it matter is you have air suspension or not? I was looking at this part number on their website 7709. But it says Stock Ride Height.
They also have this part number 7883. It just says with 2"-4" lift.
I don't see any of them say with Air.

The swaybar will adjust to the different air ride levels as you raise or lower the truck. The end links won't move, the swaybar will just rotate upwards as you lift or downwards as you lower. The adjustable end links are just for when you permanently raise the truck through a body or suspension lift. Some lift kits come with extended endlinks whereas others don't. That's when you would order longer or adjustable endlinks.
