Has anyone messed with these on a lifted truck? I'm curious what to expect. I do some mild offroading but nothing crazy.
Running 2 1/2 leveling lift and 1 1/2 inch bodylift on 285/70/17s

you can always get bigger end links. You use the stock end links in the front and the bar is the same as the stock one just solid instead of hollow. if the stock fits fine so will the Helwig

I'm not exactly lifted but I have 2" level and 1.25" body lift. Running 275/60/20 tires with stock front Z60 sway bar and added rear Hellwig. Could not be happier for the cost/time involved. Probably going to upgrade stock shocks in the spring to some Bilstiens.

must say thank you to everyone that posted great feedback. this confirmed my decision to buy the rear bar and pop the blocks out and get the bilstein set front and back. must say though that when i do this ill definitely realize how crap these goodyear tires are

For lifts as mentioned longer end links. Whatever you lift? add to the length of the end links. You can even make them yourselves with some pipe and longer bolts/rod. Just be sure they are grade 5 or better
As for the shocks for lifts? Get the Bilstein blue or Rancho etc.

There are so many threads on here of these bars installed. But I guess we could all post them up again.
I need to eat dinner, I'm getting grouchy.
