Default Rear sway bar

I got a couple gift cards for X-mas and bought a Hellwig Rear sway bar with them. Im hopeing it will help me 60' a little better but it should help the handling alot.

I think its helped LOCK the rear in mine a bit. Smoothed the launch out a bit. I've not been able to make it wheel hop that I would get with the 4wd launches. Don't know that it will improve my 60?

It does make the truck fell more stable normal driving.

You know Dewey.. gets defensive when he's worried. Smack him in the nuts for me next time you see him.

Im glad to hear it smoothed the launch a bit it seems the fastest Car's/Truck's launch smoothly. Ive talked to Calvert racing they said a rear sway bar can help a little and un hooking the front sway bar. Along with the shocks they offer. which I didnt buy.

I'll run you with out the blower...but don't get mad when I swing into your front quarter panel and take your panzy 2wd *** off the road. Bet that bar won't stop that "sway".


Since you really only race your truck, have you thought about getting the brace and just removing the sway bar? (now that you have already bought the sway bar lol) I think we have discussed this before that it might not work, but i don't know much about it...just throwing it out there for discussion really.
