And it is a great addition to your truck. Really provides some nice stabalization especially when towing.

I was looking at the directions on the hellwig site and it looks pretty easy. But I'll let you know.

Yeppers, the instructions that came with mine reminded me of many hardware manuals...
you know the ones written by 'English as a second language' writer


Why I paid $40 to have an offroad shop do it
AND, the fact I am lazy had NOTHING to do with it !!!!

those were pretty nice pics but a bit lacking for the actual sway bar install.

It's actually pretty easy once you throw away the instructions.

yeah their lame instructions and half a$$ pictures tell you to put the parking brake cable retaining clip between the passenger side frame rail and new bolt.. makes no sense to me all that extra length and flex on the bolt... cut the little frame mounting tab off the parking brake bracket and it will mount through the hole in front of where the sway bar attaches to the frame with just a plain old 5/16 or 1/4 inch bolt and washer... also the bolts on the truck are metric and the ones they provide for the install are standard so ya need both metric and standard tools
