Hellwig rear sway bar pic request

04-08 F150 2wd.
I'm considering adding on a rear sway bar on my F150 and I'd like to get an idea of what all is involved in the installation. If somebody out there has one, could you please post a pic of what it looks like?
Thank you in advance.

I've got a Roush front bar on mine. Nice difference too. Hellwig does offer a rear bar for our trucks, and it's @ $300 for it.

so there was a noticeable upgrade with the roush sway bar? thanks BTW for the heads up on the hellwig rear sway bar. I've got my drop waiting to go on and some other priorities before the sway bar upgrade happens but its definitely in the plans.

Yes, it seemed to me that there was much less front end "twist" when cornering. A few weeks ago I installed some FX2 take-off shocks, which corner better as well and don't bounce so dang much.

They certainly did. They called it the "sport tuned" suspension.

here is mine I had to make adjustments because my truck is lowered 4"s in the rear but this will give you an idea of how it is installed. Installation was very strait forward and not difficult.

Look at the picks were the sway bar mounts the the rear end. those mounts in the instructions are straight out the back, i had to angle them down. Also the last picture shows the upper end link mount is rotated to help offset the length of the end link when it should be bolted straight down. I havent had any issues with the mounting but I am eventually going to cut the end links down to compinsate for the drop.
