2” Lift thread with pictures, math and theory
#31
Finally got around to checking out the rear suspension with the Airlift Dominator bags and got some pics and measurements. 1-1/8" Hellwig sway bar is disconnected on the right side, I leave it disconnected unless I am hauling the cab-over camper. Stuffed tire is 3" from wheel well, extended side is 16.5", so travel is about 13"+ at the wheel. Both bags (@ 5 psi) had a little travel left in them and are not at their mechanical limits. So far I am really happy with how this system is working when hauling, towing, both or in this case neither.
In case you wonder how tires are recycled in AZ...

Big Wig sway bar experiences
Made a few trips now hauling my Lance camper with the Hellwig Big wig sway bar, and man, what a difference. The factory 'camper package' 5/8" sway bar is completely useless, and makes for a dangerous, white knuckle driving experience. The larger Hellwig bar works very well to control lean and stability when entering corners and especially transitioning through S curves. Well worth the money, plus it improves ground clearance. I highly recommend this bar to anyone hauling a camper or tall, top-heavy loads.

See post above. I disconnect one side of the bar unless the camper is loaded, so it can't limit travel. It's just one 18mm nut, takes 30 seconds. I haven't tried testing with it connected, but I image it would cut the travel in half or so, unloaded.
