Hi all! I am planning on installing my Belltech 5555 rear sway bar this weekend. I have been reading over the instructions a few times to familiarize myself with it. It implies that the end links should be perpendicular to the ground for optimal performance. Is this when the truck is jacked up? Or should I be doing this when it is on the ground?

You should be tightening everything with the trucks weight on the wheels. Ramps would make it nice and easy.

So, to clarify, install the self-tapping screws with the bracket on to the frame, with the end links perpendicular to the ground, when the truck is on the ground?

This is correct.

Exactly. Feel free to install everything loose with the truck lifted, but align it with it on the ground, and tighten all mounts/bushings with it on the ground.

Awesome! Thanks all! Hoping to get this installed tomorrow, along with some drilled and slotted rotors and an oil change.

You'll like this when it's done. Works even better with a bigger front sway bar.
