If you watch their install on YouTube they tilt it up towards the differential, so it's OK to do it
I did watch the video & was wondering if the 13G would be OK as it is on the 12G in the video...Assuming it's OK...never hurts to ask, surprised no one has chimed in stating they did it + reporting yea or nay results-->
appreciate your writeup, as i just adjusted my hellwig after a few hundred miles. was hearing an occational thud. found the jam nut on the link to bar was coming loose; i did not use a thin washer under the jam nut on the link to bar, and instead had it above on the link to frame connection, under the bolt head. tightened everything up, but now thinking i need a washer under jamnut on link to bar?
From your picture, it looks like you have the bolts in the wrong place. The longer bolt should be on the bottom, where the link connects to the bar. The shorter bolt should be in the top, for the clevis (frame) to link connection. That will allow you to use both washers on the bottom link to bar, where they are supposed to be.

Mine is tilted up as far out of the way as possible. About the only thing I noticed was it made the drop end-links angled a bit toward the rear (in the rear most hole.) No noticeable issues thus far, but I also have the RAS helper springs and really could not notice a discernible difference after adding the rear sway bar.

Thanks. I guess that I'm going to get the RAS and skip the Hellwig.
