Guys, Steeda and Belltech makes one also.
I'm going to go with the Steeda since they put in on a Steeda F-150 with no known problem and it cost 199.99. The Belltech I looked at cost 327.00, kind of steep for a sway bar. I order it last week and was told I should receive it by Sept.10 from Steeda. I'll keep you guys posted after installation.

I have a 99 F150 with the hellwig mounted over the axle. It was a pain in the rear but finally got it positioned in the right place and haven't had any problems. You really should put some grease on those bushings though, they could bind up and cause the shackles to move.

Sorry for the late post but I have not read these post for a while. I too get a loud noise when turning sharp. I have isolated it to the tire rubbing on the sway bar. It just touches when turned lock to lock but sounds like the front end is comming off. Look on your bar for a bare spot where the front tire would hit.
I am now looking for some wheel spacers that will give me the x-tra 1/3 inch I need to avoid the tire rubbing. I am running 275/65/17 tires on 17 inch ORP wheels.

------------------
Black 1997 F-150 Supercab Flairside. 4.6L with Superchip, Jacobs DIS, K&N Generation II, Cat back Exhaust with Flowmaster 40 and MEG'S Stainless tip in front of rear wheel (nice rumble). 17" Off Road wheel pkg. Lots of body mods. 5 yrs old and still turns heads...and now paid for!! New is NITTO NT404 275/65/17's and Hellwig 1/7/16 front and 1 1/8 rear bar.

You can order the swaybars from Steeda's website. I believe they get all of their bars from ADDCO, a top name in high performance sway bars.
Here's their website:

Good luck!
