Upgrading rear sway bar

nickpohlaandp · Aug 19, 2016

10-4. It's simple enough to change around and see the difference. Maybe I'll run in the middle normally and stiffest when towing.

Edit: It'd be cool to have a quick change feature where you could change the setting without tools. Never seen anything like that though, only quick disconnects.

I usually tell everyone to run on each setting for about a week to see what they feel best for their needs. It only takes about 10 minutes to change settings, so its an easy adjustment.

What bilsteins did you go with? I'm wanting to stay stock height but am concerned that the 4600 may be a rougher ride than the 5100. Oh and just so I'm not hijacking, I'm thinking hard about upgrading to the hellwig sway bar!

5100 series. more off road usage design but Rep expalined, as I was not mostly towing, I would probably enjoy it more so than the 4600.

If planning on towing much, go with 4600 series.

I currently don't have a trailer but when I get another I will still rarely pull it. Maybe the 5100 at stock setting will be best for my needs. I appreciate the info!

I replaced my rear factory sway bar with the Hellwig 7709 (set at the middle position) and all I can say is WOW.

This should be one of the first mod to do on these trucks

Works great for me too! I've noticed a huge difference on lifted truck!

Where is the best place to pick one up in Canada? I'm seriously looking at one for my 2015. I have a regular cab sport and I noticed a lot of sway in the rear for such a short wheelbase truck.

4wheelparts (.ca) seems to be the cheapest right now, but it's a local pickup.

If you live near the border and have a passport you could order from Moes and have it ship at a shipping company near the border and go pick it up. That would be the cheapest way to get it.

Also if you don't have the factory one you will need to buy the one with the adjustable link (7883)

5100 set to 2.1. Wanted to keep some rake and also wanted to avoid the highway vibration, in 4x4 mode, some had complained about, when set to 2.8.

note, some - as in very few but very few does not equate to none.
I am not lucky so guess what would happen, to me, if i set them to 2.8?

reason I did not risk it.

It bolts right up using your existing sway bar end links, and clears the Mag Hytec cover without any issues. I run the same swaybar on my own trucks that also have the Mag Hytec cover installed.

would new end links be a good idea though?
If so, whose do you recommend,?

Hemi450hp · Sep 16, 2016

I dont see any reason to replace the end links unless you are lifted/lowered and need a correct length end link. I have run this swaybar on 3 of my 4th gen Ram trucks now using both the stock end links and shorter Belltech endlinks...both performed the same.
