Installed my Tundra Hellwig anti-sway bar

It took me a few hours, mainly because I was interrupted a few times.

took it for a test drive, all I can say is WOW. It's a night and day difference turning with the sway bar, it, ummm, doesn't sway anymore

Definitely a recommended mod for those of you with Tundra's or anyone with a truck.


What a productive day, finished my muth signal mirrors and installed the Hellwig

You can probably see in the pictures that it is a little off center, I'll have to go back under there tonight and see what I can do

Nice Install!! Looks awesome!!

I've done some Sway-Bar Mods on my 4Runner and it was a night-day thing as well!!

Install was really easy, I was kinda worried about it because I am better at doing electrical stuff than I am doing mechanical stuff on the truck, or should I say I feel more comfortable and enjoy doing electrical stuff.

Key thing is to go through it slowly, take your time, and keep an eye on things for a couple days (tightening bolts, checking alignment of the bar)

There is a write-up that I followed from TundraSolutions.com, that thing was a lifesaver, I had my laptop plugged in my truck and every couple minutes would refer back to that.

Is hellwig the only option for a rear swaybar on the tundras? I don't like how it hangs below the axle with those long thread studs just asking to get bent and never be able to remove it.
