Sad day indeed, but I think government wanted both gone from what I read but GM was able to save Buick with China sales numbers. GM screwed Pontiac a long time ago and were only starting to make redeeming cars when all that went down..

My thoughts, just installed
I just can't believe that Ford doesn't offer a rear sway bar for the 2015 F150. I have about 3000 miles on mine, and just installed the Hellwig 7743 and it really transforms the ride from twitchy to controlled. Worth every penny. Tracks straighter, corners flatter etc.
I read in another post a recommendation to ditch the self locking nuts. YES, do that! Especially the ones on the U-bolts. No matter how big a hurry you are, just go to the hardware store and replace, either use threadlock or double nut them. Also, buy a can of black plastic dip and dip the U-bolts (obviously not the threads) and the part of the saddle brackets that will contact the axle. It is really easy to scratch the mounting surfaces, which will rust later. I had a problem with the actual sway bar, for some reason it didn't line up, and Hellwig replaced it no problem.
By the way, I have read all the posts about problems with the new 2015. Mine is just awesome and no problems except the hard down shift occasionally. Seems to be getting slightly better, hope it will not require a trip to the dealer.

srg963 - $300 for a rear swaybar? I paid less for front and rear on my G8.
