Default Every GMT900 needs hellwig swaybars!!!

Okay, so I know the hellwig sway bars have been talked about ad nauseum but HOLY CRAP!!! These things are incredible. Totally change the driving dynamics of my big *** crew cab 6.2L. In all seriousness, worth every penny!! This thing corners like my wife's 2011 Nissan maxima with eibach coilovers

It is amazing how different they perform. The cornering reminds me of the 96 corvette I once had. The Helwig sway bars were the best money ever spent on my 2011 Chevy crew cab!

Agreed. Removing the blocks helped a ton and then the Hellwig in the rear was awesome. I have the stock z60 bar up front too. When I push it around a corner, I feel like I need a better seat to hold me in place and it's even a crew cab! I feel like my tires are the limiting factor now, and how hard I can hold on!
Plus it was so easy to install, if you use better hardware than provided.

With a rear 2" lower and the Hellwig bar my truck corners so much flatter and when I turn into a driveway it no longer tries to pitch me into the door glass.

I agree.
Besides cornering improvements it tightens up the whole
chassis and helps keep the body centered on the axles like a
panhard bar would. Great product.

I havent done mine yet. I have too many projects on the go at once and when the winter hits? The last thing on my mind is better cornering when the roads are so crap. Its on my list to do though, along with Bilsteins
