Did you just add one leaf to each side? Part number please?

Just installed today on my 16 screw. Installed using the tightest setting. Definitely much better handling around corners. Box came without any tears or holes from CA to FL and included all the right parts. Nice powder coating on the bar itself, but wish they had powder coated the other parts as well.

Has anyone with a 2" rear block installed this? I currently have the 2" and would like to know if I need different link or I can get buy with the ones included.

Based on this comment and general feedback on the RSB's performance, I just placed an order for an Amazon "used" bar at $216. I'll post the results.

When I got my 4" lift with 2.25" rear blocks, I was told I needed longer endlinks so I had these installed: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm not sure what the cutoff is for longer endinks, just reporting my experience. I'm replacing those 2.25" blocks with 3" next week.

so i installed this sway bar last week. does any one else think that it is unnecessarily low? i mean those thick metal things with the "v" cut into them could be alot shorter. im thinking about cutting them down. like keep the same "v" but make them half as thick so the bar sits higher. i dont see it causing any issues as the bar itslef provides plenty clearance around the diff cover and whatnot

Did you watch the install video? After they get it in place and snugged up they tilt the bar up toward the differential and it's not really low at all

I emailed Hellwig, we will see what they say. I only have a total of 3/4" more lift then stock, so hopefully they will work without new links. Will report back when i hear from them.

Heh, I emailed them too. I'm changing my 3" blocks to 2.25" blocks, so only 1" total lift. I have a feeling they consider mine a 2"+ lift. We'll see.
