Removed the front & rear stock sway bars yesterday and installed a set of Hellwig’s aftermarket sway bars.
This easy install sway bar modification significantly improved the handling of our Expedition EL Limited.
Before this modification I truly hated driving our Expedition because it cornered like sh-t. (excessive body roll)
In fact, my lifted Duramax with 35 inch tires corners significantly better than our stock Expedition before this modification.
The only downside to this modification is the suspension feels slightly stiffer, which is noticeable when hitting potholes, bumps, or especially when crossing railroad tracks or going thru dips at an angle.
However, the slightly stiffer ride is minor compared to the significantly improved handling when cornering.
It will be interesting to see the reduction in wear of the outside treads on the front tires over time thanks to improved cornering capability.
