When I installed mine, there was no issue with the parts. Fit and finish were fine. No grinding or any sort of other modification was required.

I just finished putting on my Helwig sway bar an hour ago. It works very well and I didn't have a single missing part. The directions are quite lacking, but I figured it out.

No problem with mine. My 15 year old son and I installed my Kit in about two hours. I'm teaching him some basics on wrench turning, and had a geometry lesson while laying underneth the truck. Everything fit and I had air tools. Torgued to specs and have rechecked TQ several times since the iinstall.

Love the added handleing this kit gave the truck. It's a rocket off the line, will burn rubber almost anytime you step on it, and cornering is flat. Almost/did some drifting with it, even though this truck is kinda big and heavy, it sure doesn't feel it anymore. I'll be needing tires sooner than I thought.

I've only done a few mods, but the Hellwig was the first. It's been on more than a year, 10K miles with no trouble. The nuts are rusted tight thanks to good ol' WI road salt.

I ordered directly from Nancy at Hellwig. The box arrived in bad shape with holes in it, but everything was there. Some low profile tires would take it to the next level, but it's still a big improvement. Here's a pic from last year:

2 years & 25k miles later & mine is still the best mod I have...right up there with quality window tint & a spray in bed liner.

I haven't broken anything & the truck handles awesome. Yep, the instructions did lack a big one.

well up date on my hellwig rear anti sway bar. all is tight and great, it's the best investment for handling i ever bought. i will buy 1 if they make 1 for any of my future vehicles.
all parts still on and tight, it's been almost a year. not a single issue from day 1 till now.
i wrote a post on this, truck handles so much better now, it's AWESOME & AMAZING!
but thats only my opinion.
i know for a fact it saved my life already and saved me from having a horrible accident.
2 thumb's up for HELLWIG!

I have had my Helwig swaybar on for 6 years with no problems. All parts were there, and the installation was simple and straightforward. One of the best mods I have ever done. The difference in handling and stability is amazing.
