I need to do this. Mind if I ask how much? And how hard was install, did you go through the top on passenger and from underneath on driver?Ones a cold start , the short vid is after couple minutes , TSP headers should be installed later this week View attachment 443420
After having both, I agree the Hellwig is better.I got my Hellwig sway bar in a couple of days ago and I am pretty shocked at how improved the ride and handling is. I can't really say for sure that I ever got a fair shake with the Hotchkis but it WAS a positive improvement over my 10 year old stock bar and bushings at first at least. The hellwig in the front so far seems like a much stiffer bar (based on how heavy it is) if I had to guess and it really corners noticeably better now and just overall feels good.

I will freely admit that the Hotchkis bar is noticeably nicer for fit and finish. There was even a spot in the steel and powdercoat both right where the bushing would sit that was sharp and I sanded it smooth with a flap disc BUT Hellwig managed to pack the right brackets, bushings and hardware with my sway bar so that's a clear win for them over Hotchkis just for that. So far I've driven it pretty hard including a lot of harsher-than-necessary cornering both up and down grades and the bushings are still in place and the Yukon feels better than it ever has!
How much did you save DIY?Walnut blasting is done! My vacuum adapter worked pretty good!View attachment 443918

Hard to say, I have no idea what this would cost to be professionally done. I paid $35 for the media blaster, $28 for the Walnut shells, and $7 for a bunch of rags at Harbor Freight. The vacuum adapter I put together and 3D printed made the job a LOT less messy and easier. Without it, I'd be picking shells out of....everything. If anyone has a 3D printer and wants the STL file for the adapter, just let me know!How much did you save DIY?
