Has anyone installed a Hellwig Sway Bar?

[TreatYoSelf]

Just looking for some real-life experience with the handling changes after installing a Hellwig Sway Bar on a Lightning. It's unclear how this aftermarket sway bar is any different from the stock one.

The Hellwig is a solid chromoly bar, but I'm not positive of the specs of the stock sway bar nor the specific diameters. I've got an email out to Hellwig to provide some insight. I'll post what I hear back.

I had one installed today. It is both larger in diameter and solid. Body roll was almost completely eliminated and the torque steer under hard acceleration is completely gone. I did have the Eibach lowering springs and sport shocks installed at the same time so part of the difference could be attributed to the lowering kit.

The parts cost around $1850 and I paid $1200 for installation and an alignment. I had them install the sway bar since they were under it anyway. The most time consuming part of the install is the camber kit. It takes around 5-6 hours alone. I took it to the local off road store, they mostly do lift kits.

I love your upgrades! Do you know if the stock sway bar is hollow?
