If you go with an oversized unit, like the Hellwigs it will come with bushings and brackets, all 3 of mine did...because the swaybar is a larger diameter and you cannot use the OEM stuff, but they still bolt up to the OEM holes...

Just to ask again, if anyone has or can take some pics of the oem sway bar and the various mount point I would appreciate it.

SuperSprings. Got 'em on my F-150. Easy install.

Not sure they have them for the 2017. Didn't look. If not, they will soon.

They also help reduce sway

ETA:
Find the Part Number(s) then look for it on Amazon. Some include mounting kits, some don't. Some need mounting kits, some don't

Amazing how much difference in price there can be. Funny thing is -- They were from the same people....

why bother!?!?! that factory one looks like a coat hanger compared to the Hellwig....AND before you say the BIG Hellwig is too stiff...remember that the Hellwig bar is adjustable (where the factory coat hanger isn't)

I didn't need any special bushings or brackets or part numbers for my hellwig big wig. I ordered it, it showed up at the house, the instructions were excellent. It took about half hour to install without jacking up anything or lifting anything. I did need to put some lubricant on the bolts that bolt the sway bar to the shock brackets. Other than that, it was cake.

It turns out that W500634-S309 (4 bolts that mount bracket to frame) are on back order. It may be a while before I can add my sway bar. Unless I find some online dealer that has them.

Are you trying to order a FORD OEM sway bar???

If so, save your money...an 80 year old man can get stiffer without Viagra than that OEM thing.

Suggest you look back at post # 35 for a camparo of OEM vs aftermarket (Hellwig)...

I hear what you are saying (I'll take your word about the 80 yo ), and I have seen all the comparisons.

I was happy with the OEM sway bar on my 2011, so I'll stick with OEM again.
