I am doing some research and wondering will the Hellwig adjustable rear sway bar 7709 work with the McGaughys 2" drop rear coils? Or will I have to get special adjustable end links? Thanks in advance for the input.

I have the same setup plus the air bags in the could so I won't get sag with my trailer. Wicked setup I think. The truck holds the ground way better in the rear end

Not sure of the part number but there's only 1 set of 2 inch drop springs from them.

I've got the 44055 2 inch rear drop and hellwig front and rear sway bars on my truck. I'm using their adjustable endlinks, you at be able to reuse the factory endlinks, but the adjustable end links allow you to lengthen or shorten them, which helps keep the bar parallel to the ground,which they say is the optimum angle.

i did the MG 2 inch drop and did not change out the sway bar. axle is in perfect alignment, truck dropped 1.75 inches, so .5 higher in the rear than the front.

I just ordered the springs and sway bar. Is this an easy install? Can I do this in my driveway? Would a lift make this easier and any specific tools I need? Thanks!

Finally got this done! and WOW! If you are on the fence about doing this yourself it is not that bad. I'm active duty military so fortunately I was able to use the auto hobby shop on base with a plethora of tools. At a minimum you need a heavy jack, heavy jack stands, socket wrench set.

I noticed the drop right away! I measured on the left side, the back left wheel well is about 0.5" taller than the front left. The front almost looks a hair taller but it isn't. Near perfect level. I put the Hellwig sway bar on the middle setting and wow she turns nice. Little to no roll in the back. I definitely recommend this setup!

Sorry, no pictures but I took a couple for Instagram @elviratheram Now I just need some SRT 22" x 10" replicas!
