Hellwig rear sway bar for 2004.5 2500 CTD

[CUMMINZ]

Just installed a rear sway bar on my 2004. 5 Dodge RAM 2500 4x4. Pictures located at: http://www.gorowan.com/2004ram/hellwig_swaybar

Good information, thanks. I've been thinking about adding a Hellwig rear sway bar and was wondering how it bolted on. Good pictures that answered my questions.

mounting

Only note on installation. Plans called for axle bracket to mount straight out. I turned slightly upward to bring bracket into contact with lip on axle housing to maybe help hold bracket tight.

What have noticed?



Doe it corner flatter?



Are lifting the inside right tire off the ground and spinning it more or less.

cornering

My wife and I were out for a drive last weekend and made a curve at rather a fast pace (much faster than normal) and was very impressed that there was no tilt (none) to the outside of the curve. It held the curve very well. It is also noticeable the minor rougher ride.



Towing the 5er there is no difference in the ride. My truck handled the 5er fine before the swaybar.



I am sure an over-cab camper would tell the difference.
