2005 Expedition Sway Bars

Hi Everyone, wondering if anyone has had any experience with replacing sway bars on a 05 Expedition. The factory ones are too soft for me. Hellwig could not tell me if theirs were thicker than the factory ones. Also, the factory bars give me a little more oversteer than I would like.
Thanks

A far more cost-effective solution would be to replace the rubber bushings in the sway bar mounts with less resilient urethane. Nobody that I know of makes a kit, so you would have to do some research on this.

Hellwing does make both the front and back bars, just don't know if they are thicker/stiffer. Thanks

I added a set of Eibach sway bars to my 06 navigator a couple months ago. Think I got them through JCWitney. Marked improvement in handling and less body roll but not as to impede on ride quality.

Energy Suspension makes a kit with stiffer bushings and end links. I bought it from Summit Racing stiffened them up a lot less body roll and better handling.
