Hellwig Swaybars with 5/8 drop and 6spd
#1
Okay guys...I'm ready to order the Hellwig front and rear swaybars...here is the problem I am haveing...I remember reading somewhere on this forum that there is an issue installing the front swaybar with the 6spd tranny...I am also 4wd...will the Hellwig front swaybar work with all this and a 5" front drop?
Also, I have an 8" drop in the rear and would like to install the Hellwig swaybars here too...will it work with this much drop?? The Hellwig website is very generic and I want to get the order right the first time so I can install these when I'm off next week...
Any help is greatly appreciated and part numbers for my application would be awesome...I know there is an old thread somewhere about this because I've read it before, but now that I need it I cant seem to locate it...

I have Hellwig front and rear bars on mine, but it's a 2wd 4 speed at stock height, so no help on the front. You probably know the end links on the rear bar (7800) are adjustable. On the rear of mine, with just the lift blocks removed, I only have 3" of adjustment left on the end links. In other words, if I were to drop the rear 3", I could shorten the end links 3" and keep the trailing arms of the bar parallel to the ground. Any more than that and the arms of the bar would be pointing down. My end links now are 8 1/2" center to center. If I was 7" lower (8" total), the end links would need to be around 1 1/2". Not possible the way they're made.
Short of modifying the end links or making some custom ones, I don't think this bar is going to work with an 8" drop.
