Has anyone installed Hellwig Sway Bars on there 2009 or newer F150?
I have a 2011 5.0L and am considering putting them on my New Super Cab.
I had a set on my 1998 F150 Lariat, and the truck handled like it was on Rails, it also had KYB Gas Adjust shocks. I loved the way that truck handled. I was hoping for some feedback on Hellwigs on a 2009 or newer F150. My new truck plows through corners, and a lot of Sway. Even with 1,400 miles on it.

I've been wondering the same thing.

This truck leans way too much around corners. I'm hoping to at least get a rear bar.

 

Got 'em and have had them installed for a couple of months now. *2011 FX4 OFF ROAD, Super Cab, 5.0L

Comments:

• installation ... STRONGLY RECOMMEND doing it on a lift. Yes, it's doable in the drive with floor jack and jack stands but expect MORE installation time. *Me ... Fortunate enough to have access to a lift.

• fit and finish
  .
• improved handling
  .
• have noticed that at highway speeds you feel the bumps in the pavement more, however, to me it's a very minor issue.

BTW ... Part # 7705

I installed one on my 11 fx4 last week. It's an easy install.

 

i put a rear sway bar on my 05 f150 a few years ago. thinking about putting one on my 2011 that i now have. the 05 install was a breeze. did it on the ground in a half hour. cant see the 2011 being much different. made a big difference on the turns. it used to dive into the corners. after the sway bar it was if it were on rails.

 

Anyone else put Hellwig sway bars on there 2009-2012 F150.
Thanks

I will be adding the rear bar to my XL standard cab long bed. I have heard almost all positive feedback on the bar. The only negative feedback was it stiffens the rear suspension up a bit and is slightly less compliant over bumps.

 

I have one. Just watch the over steer in evasive maneuvers. Stock the truck under steers heavily. With the bar on I have pitched the rear out swerving to avoid deer and debris in the road. That is all I have noticed.

 

I too have the Hellwig rear anti-sway bar installed on my 2010 2wd Screw. Install was easy and I did it without a lift. Took me about 1.5 hrs to install, but I spent some time lining it up with a level and tape measure....I know, a little ****

Been on the truck about 6 months and there is a definite improvement in rear stability around corners. It still handles like a truck, but more stable and controlled. The bar is adjustable and I am set on the middle hole and will leave it there for now. I have not encountered any oversteer on my F150 since the bar was installed.....now my Mustang, well that's a different story.

Best price I could find online was from Amazon, so they got my business. I would definitely recommend this mod!

 

Just installed these (frt & rear) on my lowered '11 Lariat Limited. It's only been two days but the difference is huge and immediate. Highly recommend this mod.

 

Does the truck have a Rear on it from the Factory, my 98 did not have a rear bar.

Thanks

My 2010 has no rear bar.

 

No factory rear bar. I added the Hellwig rear and kept the factory front bar.

 

No factory rear sway bar for the F-150.

 

Anyone else have Hellwig Sway bars on a 09 or newer F150?
