Adding a Rear Sway Bar
#271

The 1 1/4" is adjustable as well assuming you mean that the links are adjustable and you can move the links to different holes in the swaybar , just not as robust as the 1 5/8" bar . I don't own a big heavy TT or a car hauler and don't anticipate owning in the future . I have a 12' flat bed that I used when I bought my little JD 1025R tractor . I have taken it to the dealer (6 mi.) once to do some warranty work since the warranty won't cover pickup and delivery . Off topic but the point is I didn't need or foresee the need for the larger swaybar , but I do like knowing it's there .

Sway Bar Brackets (2) - 7C3Z-5486 B (secures sway bar to axle)
Sway Bar Bracket Bolts (4) - W500634-S309 (secures sway bar brackets to axle)
Links (2) - HC3Z-5K484 D (should include the 4 link bolts already installed, arms that connect sway bar to frame brackets)
Link Nuts (4) a W520214-S440 (secures link/bolts to frame bracket and sway bar)
Frame Brackets (2) - HC3Z-5L499 A
Frame Bracket Bolts (4) - W500644-S439 (bolts to secure frame brackets to frame)
Capture Nuts (4) - W717462-S439 (capture nuts that are inserted into frame to secure frame brackets to frame)
Have not compared this list to previous posted here, but just installed the rear sway bar and these parts all worked perfectly on my 2017 F-250 with high capacity towing package.
Thanks to all here who helped with clarifying parts needed. Hope this helps others with the same.

So I fall in the stock camp. I wanted the 3.31 gears but adding the camper package automatically switched to the 3.55's. So I ordered the gears I wanted and added the sway bar after the fact. Thanks to rjoseph for posting the parts list, my local guy was a little out of his league on this one. I ended up with a slightly different parts list, this one include large nuts for the ends of the links and but not the small nuts for the bushing retainer (the M275 on my F350 already had captive nuts, see pic). Anyway, here's my list:
HC3Z-5A772-A BAR
7C3Z-5486-B RETAINER (2)
HC3Z-5K484-D LINK (2)
HC3Z-5L499-A BRACKET (2)
W500634-S309 BOLT (4)
W500644-S439 BOLT (4)
W717462-S439 NUT (4)
W717497-S439 NUT (4)
HC3Z-5A772-A BAR
7C3Z-5486-B RETAINER (2)
HC3Z-5K484-D LINK (2)
HC3Z-5L499-A BRACKET (2)
W500634-S309 BOLT (4)
W500644-S439 BOLT (4)
W717462-S439 NUT (4)
W717497-S439 NUT (4)
BTW, prices sure have risen over the years. Tasca wanted a lot for shipping AND CA Commie tax. Found them through another online dealer with less shipping and no tax. Saved $45 but was still more than what people paid years ago.

I ordered this list today. It appears what I need for a F350 with M275. After reading about the OEM and Hellwig, I went OEM. Our trailer isn't used much and isn't huge. And looking at reviews, the Hellwigs look like they can be clunky. Not all report it but I've seen enough to not want a more expensive setup just to make noise. OEM one is plenty for our setup.

I made the mistake of just opening all the packages and tossing the packing in the trash. Please keep them in the packages until you use them and get back to us if the list is correct or not. I'm not sure I've got the nuts and bolts 100% correct. The install goes pretty easy, thanks for checking the list!

I like piecing the perfect setup together. Feels like my younger days as a parts manager at a small family owned 8 store chain and having to match the craziest stuff for customers with race cars, extremely old farm equipment, and just straight weird projects.

I received my oem sway bar parts but the dealer sent two wrong part numbers. I'm waiting to hear back if they supercede or something. The sway bay part number i got is different than what I ordered and so are the end link nuts. The sway bar looks like it will fit just fine. I wonder if it is the dually bar or something. The end link nuts are completely wrong. Honestly I could buy those at the hardware store. I'm awaiting the dealers reply on why they sent these instead.
Not the correct part i ordered and not even the correct type or size. I coupd get these at the store if needed.
Different sway bar number. I wonder if this is the superceded one or a dually bar. Again, the dealer juat sent it with no info.
