Hellwig Sway Bar Purchase$$$$

[waterhamhawk]

Hi guys, I’m sold on the Hellwig. But would adding the BWoody end links with the air suspension be a good idea or just plane overkill ???

My opinion is overkill...based on my situation, and most others, they aren't needed.

In my situation, with a lift and towing often upgraded end links help a lot. If stock with air ride prob overkill.

Dropped off my Ram at the dealer this morning, while waiting for my loaner they had a Limited and a Laramie w/o air ride sitting next to each other on the showroom floor

The bar on the Limited was noticeably thicker than the Laramie

Limited - 68361449AD
Laramie- 68264952AD

Would sort of make sense that RAM would put a thicker bar on an air ride truck to counteract the softer suspension. I will get the part number off my OEM Limited bar when I get home. I kept it in the Hellwig box.

I thought about getting the Hellwig after seeing all the comments but didn't really think my BTS rode all that bad. My BTS has the 68361449AD one.

thats the heavier bar

 

[securityguy]

thats the heavier bar

And that "heavier" bar is no where near the weight or strength of the Hellwig.

If you don't have a problem with body roll it doesn't make sense to put out the extra cash for what you don't need.

I don't think it matters what OEM bar you have or what part number it is, we don't know the differences any way, so to post part numbers is really irrelevant.

Crap…was hoping you were researching all those numbers, compiling a spreadsheet and preparing a nice presentation for all of us. I always thought pretty highly of your opinion until now….

This probably won't apply to everyone, but if you're military and/or have access to the Exchange website, they have an auto-parts site on an external page. It sells the Hellwig 7709 for $196. The site hasn't been updated for vehicles newer than 2017, but I figure for 196 its worth the risk that the page is old but the part is right. I figure I can always return it if it ends up being something other than what is listed.

Got my Hellwig today.
Happy to say all the holes are the same and no major kinks at the bends.
Unfortunatly I am probably waiting for warmer weather to install.

11/19/21 manufacture date
I checked the bushings and clamps to make sure they were correct after reading of some packing mix-ups.
Clamps look a bit different, but they line up the same and bushings are the same. Should be good.

Where did you purchase from? Looks like the price of it has increased a bit.

Summit. Yeah I ordered from Jegs first for the $15 off, but then they said their expected ship date was JUNE.
So Summit it was, and it arrived in 2 days after ordering. Not that I am in a hurry to install it.
