Hi guys. I was looking for it at AAFES and I couldn’t find it. Are you guys buying it from a specialty store?

Mine came in today. Installed it in about an hour working slowly and answering phone calls. I put it on the middle setting. I notice a little difference buy not as much as I anticipated so I may move it in to the closest hole. Has anyone used the firmest setting yet? Thoughts?
I experienced same. Firmest setting is only way to go for me. Drives flat in corners, turns, and lane changes like a sports car without wallow, rolling, and bouncing of a normal truck. Pretty amazing.

The nuts that hold the drop link onto the sway bar, anyone know what size that is? I used a 3/4" but that was a little loose and when I tried a 17MM and 19MM neither fit so my "guess" is its an 18MM.
Thoughts?

if purchasing these for a limited w/ ORP and daystar + revel links do you go with the base model or one with adjustable bushings?

Update to this:

I'm an idiot and for some reason I thought it was the stock bushing/bracket that fell off when it was actually the Hellwig bracket that fell off! Spoke to Hellwig and they're sending me a replacement for free! Great service!

Question regarding proper installation with a Ram 1500 with adjustable air ride and a 5” Rough Country lift. I will buy the Hellwig 7883 with adjustable end links. At what ride height should the links be adjusted? I understand that the bar ends should be adjusted to be parallel to the ground, but should they be parallel in Off Road 2 (highest ride setting) or in the Normal setting?

I would think it should be level in normal setting but I would contact hellwig and see what they say.
