Silverado Hellwig Sway Bar install / Review

[@montemaguire4596]

I have a 2012 1500 silerado 6 inc suspension lift on 35s. Im going from 6 inch blocks to 5 inch leaf springs 1.5 blocks. So beleive the sway bar is going to make it all come together.

[@DinkAround]

The sway bar is going to make you a happy driver with the lift. You should have a nice rig with a good set of springs and a sway bar.

After nearly having a near head on on two lane highway at dusk, a group of cars went by , next group of 3 or 4, then for some unknown reason the lead car suddenly changed lanes in front of my Silverado, i had enough time to say a swear word and swear word and was onto the shoulder as it went by, their mirror was nearly against the body. After that like I did on my 83 Monte after engine swap a 454, the body leaned a little too much, added rear anti sway bar. My SS Nova added rear bar as well. After the the near head on decided it didn't lean hard at 55 mph want to improve handling for any other emergency. thank you for the video, my cars installed Addco, want to try Hellwig

[@gjurczyc]

I installed it on my 2016 I stand corrected I ran into the same issues as you.

[@anthonymacneil2279]

Have a 17 Silverado, imagine the installation is the same. Hoping its an easy install especially laying on the ground in tight quarters

[@DinkAround]

Yes, I don't think they modified much in the way of frame and chassis. Should be similar

[@anthonymacneil2279]

@@DinkAround How do i move the plastic line holder on the axle tub? Its in the way on the right side

[@DinkAround]

That has teeth on it that hold it in place. You can use a flat blade screwdriver to separate it and move it over. It's a little tight and takes some work but you can get it apart and slide it over.

[@anthonymacneil2279]

@@DinkAround Yes i got them off and didn't need to put them back on. Almost done just tightening everything. Didn't have that low numbers torque wrench so they maybe overnighted. Hopefully this won't hurt

[@greggichimura6202]

Thanks for the video. Any thoughts on whether this sway bar will play nicely with Silverado/Sierra trucks that have adaptive ride control?

[@DinkAround]

I don't believe it will have any negative effects. It's got a lot of motion and so long as the adaptive ride don't have anything mounted in the way, it should work fine.

[@mattpowell3217]

Just ordered one of these so looked up some videos so I’ll know how to install when I get it but my question is which way is stiff an which way is looser in the adjustment???

[@DinkAround]

The holes closer to the axle will be stiffer.

[@Yrrlate]

Did you have any issues with remounting the spare tire?

[@DinkAround]

Negative, spare tire never had any clearance issues

[@Yrrlate]

@@DinkAround Thanks, I have a 265/75/16 that won't fit flush. I've got it up, but it's at an angle and there's no room that I see to separate the support arms any further.

[@K4gixxer1000]

Great video man! 👍🏻 did you try any other settings besides the medium

[@jeffalan6339]

I just got mine today, now for the fun.

[@edtorre771]

I have a 1990 Silverado just installed a 6.0 swap.. it has posi rear end and when I floor it the back goes all over the place loosing control.. would this help with that?

[@DinkAround]

This would help in keeping axle hope down but you wod likely be better with Caltracs. You are likely rolling the leaf spring and need some support.

[@smadaakram]

It will do absolutely nothing, a sway bar is only active in a curve, keeping the body more level side to side. A sway bar does absolutely nothing to control forward or backward motion.

[@michaelhernandez1398]

Thanks for the video. I want to purchase one of these

[@DinkAround]

Thanks for watching. I was unable to find any information on the sway bar and figured I would post what little I had for others.

[@DinkAround]

Either way it's better than not having one at all and when you add on the thicker front and end link bushings it's even better.

[@DinkAround]

I agree I think Hellwig is an all around better product. They know how to build a sway bar!

[@JTrump23]

Hey bro love the truck!! Question, Is that front and rear hellwig sway bar only for leveled or lifted trucks? Or can it be added to a lowered one

[@DinkAround]

This is the rear sway bar on a lowered Silverado. It's adjustable, you have to role the mounting locations around the axle housing.

[@buggatti300]

What year is your silverado

[@DinkAround]

2008

[@Self-EsteemandHowtoImprove]

how do you like it boss?

[@DinkAround]

It is a great addition. More so when towing and working the truck as I do not often times corner at the speed I would like to corner (slow drivers). I highly recommend replacing the front sway bar bushings and end links at the same time as they are more than likely failed. Thanks for watching!

[@steamhard]

Steadfast people. Steadfast. It will pay off. If you have waited this long. It has to pay off. Stay positive.

Turn up the volume, can't change a video that's already in place
