Hellwig Sway Bar -- Rear

Post by ramv » Fri Aug 04, 2023 2:35 pm

Anyone upgrade their rear sway bar? I'm considering the Hellwig 7306 or 7738. I would use my Thuren links with either so the 7738 part list is more appropriate but the 7306 is the "Big Wig" and is 1/8" thicker.

The reason is with my side by side on the bed rack, I do get some sway/side to side motion. Between Thuren's 2.5" King kit and airbags, the ride is good and no squat, it's just sway I'm looking to control with the weight up high.

Agree w/Mule x 2. IMHO our suspension systems are meant to accommodate articulattion & flex; issues increase relative to the height of center of gravity.

3rd Gen has leaf springs which effectively act as a sway bar. (The axle twists the spring as it articulates.) I tow my 19' travel trailer behind with the side by side on the deck. Just got back from a 3k mile roundtrip to Yellowstone. Basically, if my GF didn't complain about the sway, I wouldn't even worry about it.
