Curious, anyone upgrade either on their 19's yet?

Saw these as I was on Moe's:
http://www.moes-performance.com/Spohn_Performance_Adjustable_Rear_Panhard_Bar_p/d09-1500-104.htm
http://www.moes-performance.com/Hellwig_Rear_Swaybar_09_19_Ram_1500_p/7709.htm

and my old tuner mindset has returned
(A4: JHM St2 w/HP&LPFP, JHM HFC+B7 S4 FI Catback, JHM St1 Clutch/Flywheel, S4 Recaros, JHM Shift-Trio+Cross Rod, Bi-xenon Headlights, JOM Smoked Tail Lights, Enkei PF01, Conti DWS, Solo-werks S1 Coilovers, Apikol Snub Mount, 034 low vibe snub bracket, 034 Motor Mounts x2, 034 trans mount, 034 RSB, etc.)

Obviously I don't want to go overkill on this truck like I did with the Audi.

100% Bone Stock Rebel for now, I definitely would consider the RSB, but would I need the Panhard bar for now or should I hold off on that?

Thanks in advance

Interested in reviews of rear sway bar also. Seem a few and all have been positive.

I'm sure the rear sway bar upgrade will have the same effect on the 5th gen that it did on the 4th. These trucks are downright scary on twisty roads at 80-90 plus MPH. The Hellwig RSB made my previous truck go from a 1955 F100 farm truck to a 2019 Dodge Charger SRT 392 on the twisties. Totally night and day difference. I personally wouldn't worry about the panhard bar unless you had other suspension mods in mind as the RSB is plenty noticeable by itself.

I swapped out my stock RSB with a Hellwig RSB on my 2wd. Unlike the factory bar, the Hellwig offers three adjustment holes for handling stiffness. Most guys go with the center hole. I would suggest considering upgrading the sway bar links as well. Most third party hardware is more robust than the OEM.
The first improvement I noticed was Dramatic reduction of the "Rock and roll" effect when turning on uneven surfaces. It really made a difference.

Am I right in thinking that unless you raise or lower that you don't need to replace the panhard bar? I'm basing that on different things I've read, I have no first hand experience.

Gonna look for end links as well, any recommendations?

You can get custom lengths for lifts or drops but the link I posted should be for oem replacement, which I believe is what you'd want.

Sounds good, don't plan on upgrading the size much anyway unless it doesnt affect towing much, and even then, wouldn't do too much

Will this aftermarket sway bar work for my 4wd if it’s leveled with spacers up front and in rear ?

I swapped mine out for the Helwig sway bar and I have noticed a little improvement over stock when towing. I have 4x4 with ORP and I think this truck handles great. I recently spent a week in the mountains of northern New Mexico and the truck handled the twisty mountain roads like a sports car.
