Default Where to buy Hellwig sway bar

I'm looking for a Hellwig rear sway bar for my RCSB 4x4.Can anyone recommend a place to buy one. I've checked Amazon & E-bay and found several with a wide price range and some with free shipping so I thought I'd check here first...Also is this any easy installation that an average DIY can do in his driveway....TIA

Also got mine on Amazon. I paid around $300.

Install is pretty straightforward.....instructions that come with it are not very good, but plenty of other installation guides out there if you do a Google search. One helpful tip...when you are installing the bolt anchors inside the frame rail, use wire cutters to make a notch in the coat hanger wire that is attached to them. DO NOT CUT THE NOTCH TOO DEEP. After the anchor is bolted into place, bend the wire back and forth and it will snap off at the notch. This will make more sense when you see the kit.

I bought my hellwig for $239

its definitely worth it. the change in the ride is rather drastic if you like taking corners in brisk fashion
