^^^^ Excellent response. I have Hotchkis Sway bars on my crew cab front and back, the Escalade, and the front of my 02. None on the rear yet because the narrowed rear end moved the shock locations which causes the say bar to interfere etc..

I did go with Hellwig for the Duramax. Solid heaveier firm setup. Had them powder coated before installation for added protection and the look I settled on for r

Just ordered Front and Rear Hellwigs for my 2013 Tahoe. What did it cost to have yours power coated? I like the look. I will give an update on my install

You won't be disappointed. I just installed mine and they make a HUGE difference. The front bar is HEAVY, so you may need a jack or a second set of hands to lift and hold it in place, until you have secured the 2 U-brackets.

Another vote for the big improvement that Hellwig bars deliver. It is the best "seat of the pants" upgrade I have made to my Tahoe.

I was just looking at the installation instructions and it said that if you have a 6 speed tranny that you will need Spacer Kit 7799 to provide clearance for the tran cooling lines. Did you run into that issue Thanks

Thanks, I checked with my local Power Coating guy and they would have to strip the Hellwig coating off and recoat with the color that i wanted, $300. NO THANKS

Thanks for the comment. I had ADDCO bars ordered but the delivery was out in June, so I cancelled them and went with Hellwig.
