Who makes the better sway bar?
Lets hear everyone's experiences with them.

I voted Hellwig, but for looks reasons only.

I like the grey/black powder coat over the gold finish on the Addco.
I've run both (different vehicles) and had excellent results with both.

I can say the rear Hellwig on a RSCB Gen IV will REALLY stiffen up your ride.
It works beautiful to kill the roll, but I thought the difference wasn't worth it.
I got a stock crew cab rear bar, and it was about perfect for a DD.

So the stock sway bar will help with the roll and not stiffen up the ride?

The stock sway bar does stiffen the ride, but a very minute amount.
It does help with the body roll, just not near as much as the Hellwig.

With the hellwig, there was practically ZERO body roll (all other suspension being stock) which was amazing. But DAMN it make it ride like a 2500 leaf sprung truck!

Install it, go driving up a twisty road, fall in love.

Then drive down a road with poorly fixed pot holes and sigh.

Go back to twist road.

Whereas addco has one?
