Helwig sway bar Q's

[Memphisto]

I'm wanting to upgrade to rear Helwig sway bar for better handing? Is there a noticeable difference between Helwig bushings and the Energy Suspension ones?

Also, for those that have done front AND rear bar swaps, what are the trade offs for swapping the front bar as well? Thanks

I did just the front to improve tipping while cornering. My only con is that I only have three tires on the ground in pretty mild terrain. I have the elSD, so it wasn’t a big problem.

I only did the rear - Going to now do the front also. I will say one thing. My rear bushing squeak like crazy. And then even when lubed up they get squeakier over time and it never really fully goes away. They were pretty quiet for about a week to start.

2024 Timberline - New Tires / Hellwig Rear Sway Bar

Well here is the final product - 2024 Expedition Timberline Tires: BFG All Terrain T/A LT285/70/18 These tires are very quiet and clearly have much stronger sidewalls that the OEM Stock Wranglers do not have. So some drivability issues are better just with the tire change. Not an inexpensive...

Rear for sure helps with wallow in the back end. At least from my perception. Initially this vehicle is all over the road at higher cornering speeds.

For the bushings, I found a YouTube video where you grease it and wrap it in teflon tape. Mine have been quiet for 2 to 3 years now.
