Anti-Sway bar?

Question for everyone with a rear (anti)sway-bar.

What bar are you using? Will it work on a lowered truck with a flip kit in the rear?

Thanks.

How much lower than stock are you? I've got a Hellwig bar and you might be able to use it if you're 2 inches or less dropped. The bar itself shouldn't have any clearance issues. Hellwig uses drop downs for the endlinks. They're threaded up pretty far but not sure if it's far up enough to handle your drop. If it is threaded far enough up you'd prob just have to cut the ends off after tightening it down. Here's a pic of the drop down, the rusted are is the thread section.

Thanks for the help Beefullo!

After a 1000 posts, I think I know how to use the search feature provided by this site. But since it is a Message Board and/or Discussion board, I figured I'd just ask.

Thanks for you help!

On a more serious note: Thank you Scorpio333. I'll email Hellwig and see what they say. Thanks

I have a BellTech on my 4X4.
I have a 2WD model with my own hand made end links.
The BellTech bar is a real nice set up.
It mounts on top of and forward of the axle with the bar ends reaching forward.
The BellTech does not have aftermarket exhaust clearance issues like the Helwig does.
There are some photos in my gallery, take a look if you feel like it.

Thanks.

i called HellWig and asked them if they had a bar for a lowered F150. They said no, but they're working on it.. Maybe out in a few months..

Guess I'll wait.
