Any real-world experience with add-on rear sway bars?

After an errand yesterday, I looked under the back of my 2023 4x4 to see if it has a rear sway bar. It doesn't. This naturally got me to thinking about installing one.

But does the truck need it? Have people installed,say, a Hellwig on a truck not driven roughly or on winding roads?

Most of my driving is in the city, on the freeway, with occasional use on bad dirt and gravel roads. No towing so far and no really heavy or tall loads.

People have reported positive results with upgraded shackle hangers and cross-tubes. I can say in my experience the rear end is much more stable after installation.



I have no idea about the Hellwig sway bar though.

 

I haven’t owned it but would if I used for pavement, or if I had a camper/topper.

it makes a good difference on ramps and hard turns.

Counter point is on dirt roads it can make the rear end float more in a bad way.

vote for do it

 

I put an upgraded one on an f350 for a camper and they work great but it doesn’t sound at all like you need one.

 

I put a Hellwig RSB on my Titan and it made a noticeable difference on the road. Before the sway bar I had a driveway at work that would rock the truck left and right pretty good if I hit it at a decent speed and angle. With the sway bar it didn't upset the chassis.

Can't comment on off road.
