Hellwig Swaybar installed
Installed Hellwig 7743 yesterday, took 3 hours. I set it on the middle adjustment hole, truck now corners almost as flat as my 2014 Mustang GT. the ride is now a bit more firm,. If I set the links to the softest setting on the bar will that make ride less firm but still corner tight?
Thanks
Thanks

Just called Hellwig, each adjustment hole either increases or decreases by 10% ride and cornering firmness.

I plan to get this eventually as well.
ALSO keep in mind, adding a rear sway bar changes the characteristics toward overseer instead of understeer... therefore, the stiffer, the more overseer prone... not ideal if you drive in winter weather

Just took mine off this weekend after running it for 2-years in the lowest setting. Wanted to see if it was contributing to the body chatter I get through the floor and seat on highway travel. I ensured the connections were not too tight previously (which would have contributed to it). After a few days with out it. I am on the fence if it is going back on. Definitely less body chatter on freeeway. Suspension seems to deal with small bumps better. The backend moves smoother over bumps on the freeway. I can feel the suspension working independently and not as much as a unit. I can say with confidence the the truck turns easier with it off. Turned flatter with it on, but you could feel a bit of a push in the front if I took the corner hard. Leans a little more, but the steering feels more natural. I have not driven in the hills yet or with a load. I had one on my ram with the 5-link before so I assumed it was better to have one. Now I’m just not sure. Check back in with you all in a few weeks.

Last night moved to the lowest setting. Truck rides a bit smoother than when i had it on middle setting and the cornering is definitely way flatter better than without the bar.
