It looks like you are the first. When are you going to do it?

Nope. Haven't installed it. I'm curious as to what others think about it as well.

well, i have a appointment on staurday, to get this done. what i did today this morning, since i took the day off, was WD40 all the nut's bolt's. 2x
hopefully it will not rain, or any other issue.
and it will be on and i'm going to play on & off the highway, i have set up a circle course that i know if it changes my turning radious. plus i plan on hitting some hard right's, and enterence curves onto and off the highway's. they are heavy curves.
where they say speed limit 25mph.
also i have made right hand turn's at right angel's at 40mph and stayed in my lane. without going into the lane next to me. belive it or not.

so i have a good idea of what is.
so we shall see if this is worth it.
i am honest, if it is better or worse you will know.

1 thing is for sure, i swear by the HELLWIG rear anti sway bar.
now having both front and rear , hopefully it will be better.

hi, it's on . i had a professional ase mech install it.

WOW what a AWESOME FEELING!

i haven't had it through all the test's yet.
but the turning radius hasn't changed.
i thought it stayed flat before, holly molly it is flat as flat can be.

i have only has time to street drive and it some right hand turn's, and super quick lane change's, NO body roll at all.

it's amazing, how heavy the new hellwig is , compared to the OEM thin light weight.

AGAIN, thankyou hellwig for another awesome well done product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i will be testing it so if you have any test's for me, bring it, i'll if i can ,i'll try it, NOW remember this truck is a street tundra, not a off road tundra.

hi,
i got it from HELLWIG directly!
i don't know if they have listed it as of yet, on there web site.
but here there is a rep, dave from hellwig. try to message him or call hellwig directly.

like i said i had the pro's install it.
i hate headache's.

i would 1st buy a hellwig rear anti sway bar, before i bought the front.

i now have both front & rear. you can't belive the difference.
the oem, is so light, i think hellwig used better steel too, because if it is only 1/4" thicker, in diameter & it make's such a huge difference in handling, dave said 30% better.
i belive it , now that i have it. & so much heavy'er.

try to look at all the thread's about the hellwig before you buy, to see what people have said. the old thread's are worthless, due to the fact that the hardware has been changed to a new company, and all the part's were in both of my boxes.
good luck,
gorilla
