Its not just the size. The stock bar is hollow and the hellwig is solid.

The Helwig was 2x heavier than the stock bar. Plus it has 3 holes for adjustment. I put mine in the middle and it seems great!

I also run mine in the middle on the helwig but that is because I didn't know what the outsides were at the time and still don't really know but am comfortable with the middle settings

The rear sway bar is a joke in these trucks they may work but when you can bend them by hand there not real good to me. I'm replacing at least the rear sway bar probably both though

Just installed my Hellwig rear swaybar what a difference. I can't imagine what Dodge was thinking installing a 7/8" tubular bar on a 5,000 lb. Truck. It might work on a Dart, but not on a truck.

i can't believe the stock is hollow. may as well run nothing.

where are you getting your Hellwig bars from?

Usautoparts $178. If you go to frugal mechanic and put the part number in it will list what all sellers are selling the part for.

I retract my previous post and say buy here, support the local forum guys.

Sorry I didn't think of your shop too...

I just looked up usautoparts, and their cost is $233.35, and says anticipated ship out time is 5-6 business days.

Being able to get it cheaper and faster from a preferred vendor of this site that actually stocks them and doesn't rely on the manufacturer to drop ship sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

Good point I'm all about site vendors was just wondering price difference and it's obviously wrong.
