Hellwig 7883 installed..

[Graygoose]

Installed new interior LEDs this weekend and installed the Hellwig 7883. A great feel difference in driving already. The 7883 is for lifted 2WD and 4WD, and comes with some beefy endlinks!

and after looking at it this weekend, see the holes in the hitch....anyone install small like 3" reverse cube LEDs there?
I've seen some with big 4" and bigger, prefer small just to add more reverse light.

There is a thread on here somewhere that people have.

Some interfere with putting a hitch pin in, others don't.

I added my Hellwig a couple of months ago. I love it. Used the middle holes. Less body roll around town. But upgrade was mostly for towing our TT. I think it really helped with sway. LT tires, Hellwig sway bar & Airlift 1000HD combo really changed the towing characteristics of my 1/2 ton.

Very nice. Noticed a big difference in handling after installing the 7709 on my rebel. My Moog ends links are not that beefy though, looks great

as soon as I save up about $800

@JB1 yes sir, looks like that's exactly it. Tired to reverse lights?

Those Cores sure did a great job of stopping the "hop" I was getting under full acceleration. I was going to get both the upper and lower but cheaped out and only got the lowers and they sure seemed to do the job.

I would like the full set, but the lowered one helped alone? That, and the bent panhard bar is a must. That just looks killer.

Looks awesome and so does that diff cover! Im trading my 2014 for a 2019 later today and thinking the Hellwig sway bar will be one of my first mods on the new truck. I cant believe I had the old one 5 years and never really heard about it.

 

[Graygoose]

I put front and rear on my 2011 Express, as it didn't even have a rear one.
But yes, lifted, these things really keep the body lean away.

They can coat the core4x4 bars to match that sway bar too

Yes I simply wired it to the trailer harness wiring (it’s not canbus monitored) so they come on whenever it’s put in reverse. I also ran another power source from a switch thru a diode so it has dual feed. This allows me the ability to turn it on whenever I want as well.

Ask Nick to quote them if you decide to go that route

 

[Pull Ya]

Love that switch panel!!!!!!

[Graygoose]

wow...now that is a sick panel!!


Thanks JB1....after my next work trip, this is on the to do!

Yes, those Core4x4 would look fantastic. under here.

Hell yes they would look great and really improve the handling.

If you look at post #15 theres a member with the arms that match the hellwig

Interesting, I also installed the 7883 kit but my links are different. I have much more thread exposed. I'm not lifted only running 1.5" Icon Rear coils. Not sure why the difference. Different kits for different lift amount I suspect, as they have several versions of links depending on lift amount.
