Rear Sway bar?

[scottdm]

I initially ordered mine from RealTruck.com, but after a week or so they cancelled the order since they said it's on backorder. I reordered from Summitracing.com and they estimate a ship date in late October, but at least they are upfront about availability since it's special order from Hellwig.

Where did you guys order your sway bars from? I see that they are special order from everywhere. And direct from Hellwig they add a $50 special order fee to each bar. Summit Racing is the way I'm leaning.

I went straight to Helwig because at the height of the coronavirus panic they were the only ones quoting an actual lead time.

I ordered from suspension connection with free shipping and no special order surcharge. The bar was drop shipped directly from Helwig. Lead time was quoted at 6-8 weeks and it arrived in 10 in the height of the pandemic.

Order it from Hellwig, takes a few weeks.

So oddly enough, I have a long time friend that runs a Jeep offroad shop, he had existing relationships with Hellwig and was able to get them for me at a great price. At the time, Amazon had one of them (i think the front) but not the rear available. I try to stay away from Summit and fourwheelparts anymore, they are almost never the best price. I think I was going to use autoanything or someone like that.

You guys may want to try some sumo coil springs. I tow a 6000 lbs trails from time to time and this completely erased all of the bounce and squat. Normal driving is a tad stiffer when turning....the side sway stopped significantly.

Have them, too. They help with the squat, but did nothing for the sway and roll towing at highway speeds. The sway bar eliminated it.

Sumo's won't fix the handling issues mine had. It needed the bar to borrow spring rate from the other side to help control the rebound dampening.

Just installed Hellwig front and rear sway bars last weekend on our 2017 EL Limited.

Made a huge difference on leaning when cornering ... and the side-to-side sway issue when going thru approaches.

And talk about an easy improvement. Just wish there were some good replacement end links for these, with top and bottom bushing instead of metal on metal.
