As close as I can get to OEM front shocks??

Hellwig sway bar arrived last evening..... Both ends of the package was broken open, exposing the ends. The shipping box was used before. The heavy bar was not secured from slipping side to side. A pretty sorry excuse for a shipping department. But the bar is fine. But,.. I will contact Hellwig to instruct their shipping department to .... "Go to shipping school ".......

Pretty sad considering the $500 bucks we spend. And the box was used more than once !

Oh, you'll feel the difference in weight when you try to install the Hellwig sway bars, especially the front one. I don't have a lift, so I put the truck up on a stack of 5 2x12 blocks under each tire, so that I could get under the truck and install the Hellwig sway bars in the normal ride/weight position. I had to use a floor jack to lift and hold the position of the front Hellwig sway bar steady, so that I could start the bolts into the frame.

wrong way to do the front bar, for the front both the wheels should be off the ground, frame lifted high enough for both front wheels to be off the ground, this relieves the pressure on the sway bar, rear are done with wheels on the ground.
this is the way.....
