Before you buy the Hotchkis bars, check and see if Addco makes bars for your truck, I believe that they're considerably cheaper than the Hotchkis. Pretty sure that Hellwig is priced in between the two...

+1 aint that the truth...they squeaked back when I used them on my rides in the 80's and they still squeak today...

were you guys running the red ones or the black ones? the black ones are graphite impreganted. should squeak less i would think. the addco bars are smaller bars compared to the hotchkis bars.

I ran the red ones, haven't heard the black ones...didn't realize that the Addco bars were smaller, no wonder they're cheaper

the hotchkis and monsterbars are the two biggest ones and the two that cost the most.

How about the Hellwigs, what's the scoop on them?

they are smaller too. if you go to summit they have all of them on there with sizes. some of the cheap ones don't come with new end links. where the more costly ones have all new parts.

All good info to know, as sway bars are also on my ever growing wish list...way down the list right now, but still on there nonetheless.
