Hi-
Looking to upgrade the front sway bar. I have an XLT 2.7 4x4 with just the basic trailer hitch package. Pretty sure I just have the normal front sway bar. Will the heavy duty factory sway bar from the Max Tow Package install right in its place?

I installed a Hellwig Rear Sway bar....but the front Hellwig is spendy and ive heard people having issues like clunking noises with the front one.

Ordering a factory Max Tow sway bar is much cheaper....but just wondering if its plug and play before I pull the trigger.

Thanks-

Your question was answered... but IMO you're wasting your money. You probably already have the same SB as the Hellwig. Either way I don't think it would make any difference for you.

But, like they say, it's your money.

Clunking noises are usually a result of improperly torquing the installation hardware.

I agree but you don't know that he doesn't already have the upgraded bar.

OP: Do some measuring before ordering if you're set on one.

Hellwig's bar is over $200 and the updated Ford bar is only around $50 provided I dont need to buy anything additional like brackets or end links. My factory bar has a engineering tag with the letters ending in "AB"....I think "CB" is the upgraded bar and the "AA" was the basic bar. I think I have the hollow bar though.

Call the dealer have them run your VIN. Mine has regular tow package and they state I have the same sway bar as the max tow,

I looked it up and it looks like I dont have it. I dont even have a normal tow package. Just the "trailer hitch" package as its called.


Does anybody have the part number for the heavy duty sway bar?

Thanks-
