2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Rear sway bar installation???

[JayStraight]

I'm thinking of adding a rear sway bar to my 2500 2wd 2002... . how much of a project is this? Also, should I go with Addco or Hellwig???



Thanks, Jay

My 99 quadcab had a rear swaybar on from the factory. You may be able to find one pretty cheap at a salvage yard. It should be an easy bolt-on piece.

they are pretty easy to do. the second one I did took maybe an hr at the most.

Good to know... ... .



So which one should I look for Addco, Hellwig, or a stock one???

I put a stocker on the back of my '96, definitely helped. Unless you have a Club Cab or Regular Cab I would stay with a stocker, the heavier aftermarket ones may stress the weaker cabs on the Quad Cab too much when going offroad due to torsional twisting of the frame.

Well it's a 2wd so I won't be going off road any, it's my tow mule and I just want a little better stability while pulling on the interstate...

An OEM one should be sufficient then. I saw you had a 2wd, I have one too but it doesn't stop me from offroading it occasionally :-laf
