After reading so much about the Hellwig sway bar. I purchased one and installed it today. I am very disappointed.

The install looked so close to the shock mount on the passenger side of the axle, that I did a little test. I put the left rear tire on a sidewalk curb with the right rear on the pavement...and it hits. With 6 inches of suspension travel on the driver side, the passenger side of the sway bar hits the shock mount on the axle.

This sway bar is installed as over to the left side (driver) as I can get it, and it still hits. End link by the gas tank is dead vertical. End link on the passenger side has what looks like 5 degrees of positive camber (end link at the bottom is closer to vehicle center than the top of the end link).

Even the axle bracket bowed out at a torque of 45 lb/ft. The Tundra really can benefit from a little more rear sway control, but this thing is a piece of junk. I need to call these guys Monday. Anybody else had this problem? My first reactions are that this thing is of low build quality and not suited to even the mildest off-road condition. Box says PN-7641, which is for the Tundra. I have the fancy quick disconnect end links on order, but I don't even know how well they will fit given the angle on the right side end link.

I posted photos onto my photo gallery. That's a first for me. I wonder how I can get them to show?
