Express owners: anyone add rear sway bars?

[OutlawTrucker]

Anyone add rear sway bars? Looking at getting hellwig front and rears. Where you get the end links for the rear? Any pics?

 

[DavidRam]

I have the front and rear hellwigs. The endlinks came with my Belltech 2/4 kit.

 

[OutlawTrucker]

How's the handling and ride? Which belltech kit number you get?

 

[DavidRam]

Belltech 964sp, but last week I switched out the BT shocks for QA1s. Handling and ride was really good with the BTs, the QA1s have taken it to another level.

if your 4x4, it seems really limited on finding a front sway bar. The 2wd's get more lov in this department.

I am 2WD

Hellwig for dayzzzz lol !

your good to go !. I have experienced the drastic impact that sway bars can have. When I owned my MazdaSpeed3 it was the best money I spent on any one mod for that car. I sometimes wish my truck was 2wd, but I cant not have a truck without 4wd.

I ran a stock swaybar front and Hellwig rear on my '11 RCSB.
It handled awesome, but it really detracted from the ride quality.

Think skateboard.

I ended up selling that and going with an OE sway bar from a crew cab.
It was a nice compromise.

Yep. Same issue I found out recently. They likely figure we would want the articulation and would never do as some here have and drop the rear end a little bit. Nevermind the fact that if we level or lift and go with a little heavier tire and wheel package we might actually want and use a slightly stronger rear bar and just use end-link disconnects when we need to.

I've seen you post that before. Sway bars should not effect the ride quality. Maybe the ride characteristics but not the quality.

The Hellwig bars a nice improvement on these trucks. I have been running their rear swaybar on my 2011 4wd for about 3-4 months now. Even on the softest of the 3 settings, it is still an improvement over the stock swaybar.

I think it was the single cabs that didnt. Now I think all of them come with a sway bar.

^^^ True dat

I removed my stocker rear sway bar (diameter = toothpick) and installed the Hellwig 7709 rear sway bar. (diameter = 0.875")...noticeably improved handling...no brainer.

Express with tow packages did as mine did.
