hellwig rear sway bar?

i would have put this in the suspension section but it's all 4wd guys there.

anyway has anyone used the hellwig rear sway bar? would it be ok to use with the stock front one? i found it for $200, thought it would be a good addition. let me know what you all think.

I put both the front and rear on my truck at the same time I did the Eibach lowering kit. The combination of all that definitely made a world of difference. Truck handles so much better!

i thought that it might help the rear since there isn't one there.

I looked into these not long ago, from what I remember you can get a brand new one for around $275 FWIW.

After a 5 second google, $282 new w/free shipping for an 2008

Ebay has it the rear for $205+ shipping. I'm thinking of adding it myself.

Upgraded sway bars are popular among top end suspension brands likeEibach and Hotchkis.

I say go for it. Ive got a rear Lightning sway bar i still have yet to install, just need a few brackets here and there :o

When I bought mine, this was the best price I found:

I think it still is, they have free shipping. If you buy the front and rear at the same time use the code "2SWAYS" when you check out and it gives you an additional $25 off. I definitely recommend them, they're a great addition

I have the Banks Monster 3.5" Exhaust, will a rear sway bar fit with this exhaust system? I have search the web, including F150Online and sent emails to Banks and have not found an answer as yet.

Great thing about exhausts is that they can be rerouted a bit. But i believe the swaybar is under the rear drive assembly, where your exhaust goes over it.
