This is where I bought mine. It was the least expensive place I found at $225.00.

Where ever you order...make sure you get part # 7658 since you have the 11.5 rear AAM axle.

I had the Hellwig bars on both my F-150's and my Titan. They work, but I don't know that I need one on my CTD

I would like to get a sway bar as well. Is there a way to make it like a quick disconnect if you have to go off road. I don't go mud bogging, but there are some places that I travel and wonder if the sway bar would hurt the articulation of the truck while off road. Think it would be ok to leave it attached? Thanks.

When I first got my Bronco years ago, I took it to Sedona, AZ to go drive around. I was trying to get the front wheel up on a rock for a picture and heard a loud crack from under the truck. Turns out I snapped the rear sway bar trying to flex the rear end. I replaced it with a thicker one from an F-250 and would remove one of the links for wheelin trips. Eventually I just scrapped it all together, front bar too.

Something about the Hellwig bar bothers me. The ones for my F-150 and Titan were the same 1 1/8" diameter as the one for the Dodge 2500. Seems to me like it should be thicker on the heavier truck. I also remember paying $150 when I got the bar for the Titan in 2005.
