OK guys, all done. RacerBX1 was right, I had forgot about tightening down the upper end link fasteners, guess I was trying to finish up before it got dark last night and missed them.

Anyway, I still moved the passenger side U-bolt inboard of the brake line mount and everything seemed much more "natural" and lined up better with the End Link Assembly. This is the same location as in the Hellwig Instructions too, just wish I had not attempted to make things symmetrical and gone with my initial thinking.

Took the truck out for a quick ride and no noises, amazing how things work better when you tighten all the fasteners properly. As many others have described better than I could, the feel during hard cornering is much improved. I may even switch to the stiffest hole instead of the middle hole - just think this truck needs it. I'm still not real happy with the stock front coilovers or rear shocks but that is another Thread!

price has gone up on Amazon, like $250 now

Amazon is $291 today. Should have ordered last week at $210. Not sure why they cranked the price so much. Dang!

When I bought in July no online sellers would come within $50 of the Amazon price, even if you called and asked them to. I assumed Amazon had some pricing agreement with Hellwig. Maybe it was a short term contract that expired, or other sellers complained to Hellwig about it.

I just got the front and rear this morning. They look really strong. Have not gone through the hardware yet so now I'm a little concerned. I paid with taxes and shipping to Montreal Canada $810

I price matched amazon to autoanything.com with no problem via chat and saved a little more in terms of taxes about a month ago; shipped from manufacturer.

Installed last weekend and happy with ride stability. Completed in home garage without advent of lift; doable, but might have been easier to pay someone.

This link helped immensely over included instructions:

Yeah that trucktrend article is invaluable. Hellwig should just put the link on a slip of paper and call it good.

What does everybody think about the TruckTrend using double nuts on the U-bolts??

schlim66

I think they should have used Nylock nuts instead.

More hassle than its worth, just use lock nuts.
