Ok.....can you guys help clear this up for me?
I've read so many different versions of the spring swaps; X, W, V & modified.....I see from this thread the V should give you 1.75" of lift and the modified B's 1.5" of lift. How much do the X & W give you and is one better than the other or should I be looking at which one's I can get the best price on? Oh, I'm going for ride comfort....rarely tow. Thank you!

Well, got the anti sway bar installed today. It went fairly well. 
Hey, WE3ZS, Hellwig must have listened to all those complaints, I didn't have to drill out those holes. The U-bolts fit fine. 
It does make a big difference, however I still get some travel, so I think I am gonna get the toe checked on the alignment.
I talked to a guy at a 4wd specialty shop this afternoon too. I think I might start a new thread on that subject. Long story short, what he said is contrary to what I have read here, but although he has been in business 30 some years I don't quite think he is right. I just want to share what I heard, maybe it will help others too.

Ok, as noted above, I started a thread about the discussion I had with a local shop that recommended add a leaf

here is a link ( I hope )
V/B spring mod vs add a leaf
