That's impressive. Either the guy didn't know or just decided to be real nice. Their policy specifically states "The item needs to be in stock and available for purchase from an authorized dealer" Amazon's price on that item is not in stock, it says "5-7 weeks". So they shouldn't have price matched it.

Both of the threaded adjusters on mine had bad threads that needed to be fixed.

I got mine from Amazon, yes, it is the Hellwig 7743 just like the Amazon page says. I had to wait 4-5 weeks though. SD had them $299.99 - $25 and free shipping.

Quick question for all you have already installed their sway bar. What setting have you guys connected your links to? I haven't received mine yet, and i know there are three holes to connect the end links which determines the level of stiffness (outer most being the softest). Are you guys using the middle or the inner most setting/hole? I hope this makes sense.

I'm using the stiffest position and you will too if you don't like the really soft ride and the major body roll these trucks have.

I'm really considering the Helwig front bar to get rid of the remaining bit roll from the front.

Man...Hellwig's quality control sucks.

Another thing I didn't see mentioned in the instructions was what the correct length of the arms that connect to the frame. I just took a guess at the appropriate length. I think I guessed correct but I have no idea. Ha ha.

To the question above. The instructions say to use the outermost hole to start out with. That's what I used and haven't adjusted it from there. I'm curious how big of a difference the other holes make too.

It's funny because before I bought the rear sway bar I had no idea how much the front rolled. Whelp I do now!!! Now it almost feels like two different vehicles entering a turn. The front kinda dives and rolls but rear is nice and level feeling.

I just ordered a rear bar today for my new '15 CC XLT. Would be interesting to know how much the roll stiffness is increased from soft to hard settings.
