After installing the front bar yesterday and experiencing the improvement, I went ahead and installed the rear Big-Wig bar today (used the center hole). I'm quite pleased how my F250 corners now. Next will be the Rancho adjustable shock ansorbers, a pair of Firestone Ride-Rite airbags, and then offer my truck for Landyot to fab a set of radius-rods so I can get rid of the spring-wrap. Had the Landyots on both of my Excursions and they made the biggest improvement to ride quality.

EDIT TO ADD: I ordered the 7294 rear bar because I installed Ford anti-swaybar frame mounts. If you don't want to wait for the 7320, consider getting the OEM mounts. I believe they're a more stout design than those that come with the 7320 bar. Post #111 above shows a good comparison of the mounts.

I am a little confused on which nuts to order for the OEM stabilizer link? W717497-S439 or W520214-S440?

Thanks. I was more confused with the nut on the sway bar link. Pretty sure it's W717497-S439, but someone posted it did not fit.

Let me clarify that the 3 parts I listed are ONLY for the bracket, bracket mounting bolts & captive nuts shown in the photo linked below (actually, the nuts are not shown in this image because they're in the frame behind the bracket). My list DID NOT include any fasteners for attaching the swaybar to that bracket. You mentioned "stabilizer link" and the only "links" are the drop-links which attach between the frame bracket and the bar itself.

Thanks for the picture. Your info has been helpful. I did order the frame bracket with the bolts and nuts. I did order the bar, mounting bracket and bolts for the axle. My axle has the nuts welded into it. My question still stands. In your picture, which nut did you use to attach the drop link to the frame bracket?

That photo belongs to someone else from an earlier post in this thread, but I used the bolts provided with the Hellwig Big-Wig swaybar and their drop-links. The only OEM parts I used were the frame brackets, frame-nuts, and the bolts to attach that brackets to the frame.

SDTruckSprings said mine was supposed to ship last week from Hellwig but it didn't happen.

Hope it shipped today as I am ready for it!

If it didn't ship today my bet is any day this week. The factory must make these in batches once enough orders get queued up. Mine was through suspension connection. I am registered with FedEx for package updates and got an email notification this afternoon that it shipped out

Also getting the Amp bedstep and bedstep2 delivered on Wednesday Going to be a fun week wrenching on the truck

Finally got my Big-Wig today after waiting 6 weeks. Lucky none of the parts were missing as the box was ripped open with lots of parts rattling around.

Installation was pretty easy compared to the airbag installation.

Can't wait to try it out with my Cirrus 820 camper loaded up!

Nice. Mine arrives tomorrow. Hoping to get it installed this weekend. Glad to hear all the parts were there.

Edit : the shipping box was not too banged up when it arrived today, and all the parts are inside. I'll probably install it late tomorrow or Sunday morning when it cools down a bit. Right now, step one is to RTFM

If you're near southeast VA, I just listed an extra pair of Hellwig swaybars in the classified section.
