There are 2 holes on the end of the bar. Which one did you use to bolt it on?

If you want a tighter ass end put it in the hole closest to the axle.

The sway bar I got from Nick had 3 holes in it not 2. I put it in the center for now. Now I'm wondering did I get the wrong bar.2009 and up it says but 2wd. Mine is a 4wd.15881230537124111516141739986659.jpg 15881231547987436763278431303829.jpg 15881230537124111516141739986659.jpg 15881231547987436763278431303829.jpg

Installed it all today. The panhard bar is massive compared to the factory in weight and girth. I got it in blue with the end links (all Core) to match the truck. The drop link hardware for the lower end is great but the upper mount the bolts are the wrong size. Much bigger which makes sense but the upper uses the factory welded nut so I had to reuse the factory bolt which didnt thrill me. Diameter is smaller so there is some slop between the bushing. Not sure if it matters but Nick is working on it.20200428_182111.jpg 20200428_191218.jpg 20200428_191212.jpg

Drop links are massive as well. Much bigger than my BDS drops and factory drop links are tooth pics.

The control arms in blue would be sweet but I doubt I'll that way. I've spent about $8500 in the last month including the Vararam I just ordered today. That SHOULD be my last mod.....should be right???

Im actually on the hunt for some undercarriage upgrades and sway bar is on the list. I have a 2014 2wd so i wonder if thats the one i need. Where did you purchase if you dont mind me asking and was the install easy? Does it come with everything needed or do i have to purchase the bushings or whatever seperate? Im not a mechanic so if those questions sound ignorant thats why. Appreciate any feedback.

If you have a lift, there's a lifted one. What I have. But if you check their site, they show stock or lifted models.

Comes with everything, can install alone in about 30 minutes

When i bought my hellwig, all the online reading led me to believe that using the tightest setting (closest to the axle) would result in an uncomfortable ride with heavy oversteer. I didnt find that being the case. Ive had it on for months on the firmest setting and i love it.

I just put a Hellwig on my 2020 4x4. Saw so many internet reviews, and suggestions that the RAM sway bar was hollow. On my 4x4, it turns out it was solid. Learned this while taking it off to install the Hellwig. Almost matched the Hellwig, but the Hellwig was ever so slightly bigger round and heavier, plus 3 adjustment holes. I put it on anyway due to suggestions on how to eliminate road walk.

A bit of history. I'm a long time Chevy driver. The GM products are railed to the road. Sports car-like handling. In turn, they are rough as hell. That being tired of the heavy jarring ride was one of the main purposes of my new RAM. So, I was attempting to get my new RAM closer to that tight road-handling feel. now, on to the rest of the story.

Anyway, my new Hellwig has 3 holes. Everyone again said, put it in the furthest hole at first. Well, after seeing my 2020 4x4 had a solid sway bar instead of the post popular hollow sway bar I thought the middle would be a noticeable change. It was a change. But ever so slight, barely a change at all. I've not yet put mine in the closest hole yet. But, I'm 90% there on trying that setup.

I hope that helps.

When I installed my hellwig I cut the factory one in half. It was hallow. However this was in a 2013.
