When you installed the rear sway bar, did you have to move anything on the rear end? Like brake line, cable or brackets?

Did the kit come complete?

Thanks!

 

i don't believe we moved anything at all.. it was hard trying to figure out how to get that dang thing in there.. lol
the kit came complete..

 

Thanks clonetek!

 

anybody got a price or link for one of these?

I called Helwig and they told me part # HEL-7621 is for the F-150s with 2" drop shackles.

The one on Summit lists it with the part #, but on the JcWhitney they do not list it as such.

I'll be getting mine locally, and I will still pay $20-25 less from either Summit or JcWhitney shipped.

 

chester, i have the hotchkis sway bars. i had to move the brake/vent line up off the rear axle about 2" with this spacer which was supplied with the sway bars.

 

is the part # for it HEL-7621?
thats for the 2" drop sway bar?

anybody know of any cheaper places? just curious. thanks

o yeah, installation is just a bolt up? do i have to remove anything? do i need a lift? or will jackstands work? etc. etc.
thanks

 

I'm getting mine from 4 Wheel Parts, a local store. They're just a few minutes away from me and on the way home so I could pick the sway bar from them.

They're nationwide, look in the yellow pages and give them call. They do not have it listed in their website at http://www.4wheelparts.com but they are an authorized distributor for Helwig.

It's a bolt on, I did not have to raise the truck when we did my friends F-150 XL reg cab.

 

thanks for the info chester my mod list just got one item longer

 

Hey clonetek,

Which end links did you use for the HD with 2" shackles. My HEL-7621 comes with 2 sets of end links, long and short?

Which one?

Did you have to drill an extra hole on the frame?

TIA!

 

Chesterc, I have installed these before. You will use the short links with this kit. Hellwig packages several lenth links in this kit, so that it can be used on several applications. You should not have to drill any holes. The gas tank side is a pain in the neck, but it will work. The bar goes on top of the rear end and the u-bolt/clamp will kind of point up on a 45 degree angle towards the gas tank. Good luck.

 

we didn't drill any holes at all... i don't remember which endlinks we used.. maybe some of these pics will help you..

hope this helps!

 

Thanks richo!
You're right, mine came with different end links. And just by looking at them the longest was obviously not for my application. Then I had 2 more sets of end links which were shorter.

But shouldn't the D bushing and the U bolts parallel to the ground? Am I missing something?

 

clonetek and richo this is for you

thanks so much for all your help!

edit: based on those pics, it's the shortest end links on the kit
