Hellwig front swaybar?

I've been using Hellwig front and rear sway bars since 2008 or so----can not say enough great things about them, their engineering ideas second to none IMHO.
Although their customer service/tech rep can be a bit tough to contact via telephone he'll usually reply to an email contact in a day or so. I'm running a 2005 E-350 extended body weighing in at about 8,400#, was suggested I look into using their version of "short wheel base motor home" bars and for my needs they're irreplaceable.
I've also used the stock offerings for the E-250/E-350 stock or normal chassis and they too work very well, adding the rear one even without upgrading the front to Hellwig is a huge handling improvement.
FWIW I also run Bilstein shocks in the same "short wheel base motor home" configuration. Very stout but with my daily driver weight they work great.
I could dig out my Hellwig part numbers installed but it would take a day or so---been crazy busy with work. Glad to help if I can.

Thank you guys,
Im trying to figure it out before the return time runs out. The van is in a another state and it will be a few weeks before go down and pick it up. Just makes me nervous when the hellwig rep recommends their competitor.Hoping someone who has used the #7008 on a E350 not a cutaway. Not sure why they would be different.
Again Thanks

Ok, I know nothing about these but according to what I am reading The :
#7008 is for the front https://www.hellwigproducts.com/prod...-350+Econoline
#7158 is for the rear https://truckmastersusa.com/hellwig-7158-sway-bar

#7158 is for the rear https://truckmastersusa.com/hellwig-7158-sway-bar

Ok even more confused. Just found out the van is a 89 E350 XLT SUPER DUTY.
The rear looks right. #7183
Hellwig says the #7008 is for the cutaway only. The #7158 has been discontinued.
My question is why would the front be different for the cutaway and the E350 super duty?
I wish I had the van so I could physically hold it up there.
Thanks for any and all info.
