If you go the excursion forum you will find alot about the hellwig sway bar. I replaced the rear factory one on my 2003, it did not make that much difference. If you tow much it will help. I didn't think mine had the factory ones, so I ordered it. If I had to do it again, I would have ordered the "Tuff Country Traction Bars" instead. I never tow. You don't have sway bars on your 2002? The Hellwig I put on took me about 2 hours, the instructions are not the best. You need to have a jack to place under the rear shock, or they will go to the ground. The Hellwig mounts to the shock mount, no drilling, welding, it bolts on. I was short 1 nut. Put a lock nut (two nuts on each) on the mount, or they may come loose. Good luck.
