What's the goal with a beefier one? I think Hellwig makes one.Any recommendations on a beefier rear one?
I will be towing a travel trailer in the future and was wondering if a sturdier sway bar would help with the towing or if i would be wasting my money.What's the goal with a beefier one? I think Hellwig makes one.
It will make a difference, whether it's worth it or not is up to you. That seems like something that could wait until you've exhausted other options with the trailer like make sure you have a high quality weight distributing hitch, good tires, good weight balance, etc. Sway bar (in my opinion) shouldn't be near the top of the list for money spent, especially ahead of time not knowing if an issue will present itself.I will be towing a travel trailer in the future and was wondering if a sturdier sway bar would help with the towing or if i would be wasting my money.
While I agree with you regarding towing, I would add that an upgraded sway bar can improve daily driving when not towing by improving the way the truck handles and feels on the road. It's one of the best mods I've done, and plan on doing the same upgrade on my next truck.It will make a difference, whether it's worth it or not is up to you.

Like I said in a previous post (#6), Hellwig is what I've gone with.Thank you. Any recommendations?
I have the Hellwig rear bar on my 4X4,but if i was doing it again,i'd go with this one instead.The Hellwig is 7/8" while the Etrailer bar is noticably heavier at 1 1/8".Thank you. Any recommendations?
Thanks for sharing that. The stock sway bar is thicker too, but it's not solid like the Hellwig. Is the Etrailer bar solid as well?I have the Hellwig rear bar on my 4X4,but if i was doing it again,i'd go with this one instead.The Hellwig is 7/8" while the Etrailer bar is noticably heavier at 1 1/8".

That has to give you a harsher ride though. I can't speak for the OP, but most 1500 owners want to maintain the smoother ride you get with a half ton pickup.I stiffened up the rear of my warlock significantly with new HD tufftruck coils and bilstein 5100s
the stock coils are way too soft for my liking and the stock shocks are crap should not even qualify as shocks
night and day difference in my opinion but I drive my truck pretty hard. it no longer wallows through the curves like an old boat
look for biltstien and hd coil threads in the lifted section for more information! good luck!
When i talked to them,they said their bar is solid. The other option is to adapt the 2500's rear swaybar to the 1500's brackets,as the 2500's have a bigger bar.But it takes a bit of adapting to make it fit the 1500's swaybar mountsThanks for sharing that.

That's a substantial difference if theirs is solid. I might have to upgrade to that bar before my next truck.When i talked to them,they said their bar is solid.
