Hellwig Sway Bar

I installed greasable links from Core4x4 on my truck, they’ll make them to whatever length you want.

Yeah, that's the one thing the Hellwig links don't have...good ol' zerks! Otherwise, they're no doubt as stout as other aftermarket adjustable models, but they made noise on my RCSB and the Reb I drive now, so back to the stockers for me. That swap did the trick...no noise now, but every time I see those Hellwigs, I shrug. Heck, maybe I just didn't install them correctly!

Maybe I'll put some zerks on 'em, grease the snot out of 'em and reinstall.

Part number for the Moog links, K'Nut? While I have the nice adjustable models from Hellwig, my Hellwig bar always made a clunking noise with 'em...I swapped back to the stock links you've pictured on the left and no more noise. Maybe the Moogs will be quiet!

Thanks! I may pull the trigger on those if I can't get my Hellwigs sorted...or I could sell 'em and keep the stockers mounted to the Hellwig sway. I've had no issues so far!

I have a 2016 crew cab with the factory air suspension and I am quite pleased with it.
I don't tow or haul anything.

Would the Hellwig bar still improve the handling?

Is the Hellwig bar good for stock height trucks as well as lifted?

Yes. I think they have different part numbers though for stock trucks vs lifted.

Do you know of anyone using these on a 2019? On the website they say to present but only list up to 2018.

I’ve read about some 5th gens using the same Hellwig rear sway bar part number as the 4th gens so I can only assume the core4x4 endlinks would work as well. The endlinks use the same bolt size for top/bottom.

Yeah I've been reading the same thing and that's what I'm thinking about the endlinks too. I've seen it confirmed that the Hellwig sway bar fits, so I ordered that. Think I will call them about the endlinks and unless they say they know they won't fit I will probably try them and see. Thanks for your input!

Wish I would’ve done this day 2 of ownership, instant improvement all around even for the daily grampa grocery hauler.

I've been happy with mine - minor snafu I bought the "kit" with adj. sway bar links and the bar hardware kit was wrong, it was for a larger size. So they send me replacement clamps but not replacement bolts, so I sill have the stock bolts mounting the bar, not the snazzy Hellwig Allen head bolts. Not a bid deal but every time I see a pic of someone else's I think man those bolts look so much better lol.

I didn’t have an 8mm Hex drive impact socket so I reused the stock ones and painted them!

Ain’t nobody got time for Allen wrenches.
