Found it

LOL it does expire after a while but it's good for fixing mistakes right after you read what you posted

How was the comparison between the fronts - stock vs Hellwig?

Would like to see some pics of these installed especially the rear. I have been looking at these also who did you go through to get them and is there different versions or is that the only design (model) for the 08-10 trucks?

They look great

I'll get you some pics soon Taylor! I went straight to Hellwig for mine.

I've had the front bar on for about 300 miles now. it really makes the truck have more road manners compared to stock I couldn't be happier.

I agree... Seems much more responsive in traffic.

Do they make a kit for trucks not equipped with a rear sway bar?

Sent while I probably should be doing something productive.

This kit replaced everything, so yes. All you would need would be the holes in the frame lol.

I've got a helwig on the rear. It really helped stabilize the truck on curves and maneuvering especially with weight. It looks just like an 03 sway bar with a fancy paint job and 3 different holes to mount the links.

Front sway bar. One of my favorite mods so far!

Looks awesome like how the rear one mounts verses factory

Icon smooth body 2.0s.

Icon. I was looking at the Fox shocks but didn't know if they would be too sporty and take away from the "truck" feel it has. Not saying anyone around here uses their truck as an asphalt pounder but I use mine for what it was built for. Along with a few other things it's not.

From what I've seen from Icon, I wouldn't go any other way. I have the base 2.0s and I was super happy with them... Justin has the piggybacks, and they perform much better than mine, and one of our buddies has the reservoirs, and they perform better than the piggybacks. All the trucks are setup pretty similar.

I've been debating on getting a set of these for months now, just never had any real info on how good they are. May just get a set sooner or later now.

Good information.
looks like ill have to scrounge up some money for these. Would love to eliminate the body roll

cbenn47 · Mar 24, 2014

For those asking about towing with HELLWIG, I tow a 15,000# 5th wheel with mine and you will notice when cornering the most, not much lean either way, much firmer steering, we'll worth the money, I have them front and rear.

RSK · Mar 24, 2014

I'm gonna do them one at a time and drive the **** out of the truck, i think the front sway will take most of the body roll out of it. The rear will probably help more when u lose traction and it kicks out sideways, and then catches again. I noticed that going from stock tires to nitto 420's i lost a lot of tire roll. Truck feels a lot more stable when cornering. Stiffer sidewall and less sidewall is the main reason and tires hook a lot better, they are also wider as well so that helps too.
