I have the Hotchkis sways and I love em. The truck doesn't dip or lean when taking corners. I can take 90* turns at about 40MPH with little to no slipping. Floor it around a corner with an Eaton Posi and hold on....very fun
You're going to spend around $500 for just those Hotchkis sways.
The Hellwigs are cheaper, but I've read on other forums (FSC.com) that they had problems with em.

Although I have now experience with them, I have read that the Helwigs mounting brackts tend to break.
I have a Hotchkis rear bar only and made a significant difference in stability even with the Hotchkis springs.

The only things Ive seen that are bad is that you have modify to mount, where the hotchkis is bolton.

Like I said, those are just others' experiences. I have no personal experience with the Hellwigs

Just finished putting the rear bar on.........and just taking it around the block and down a slightly curvy road......It feels like a whole new truck. Very minimal body roll if any and seems to take the bumps better (less squirelly for sure)
I would recommend any bar you can get ahold of (obviously Hotchkis or Belltech would be my first picks). The rear most importantly but both if you can.
