Alcorr, would the Hellwig have to be removed to change shocks? If so, I guess new shocks should be done prior to mounting the sway bar.

davedye, No need to remove sway bar to replace shocks, it doesn't come anywhere close to shocks.

you also have a 2wd "low rider"
and I would assume by the size a fifth wheel trailer
- major difference-
apples to oranges

fifth wheel trailers are always more stable than bumper jobs

Actually a gooseneck, and if all I was going to haul was a bumper pull, I would have bought a SRW.

Thanks also for the picture.

Do you need to remove the sway bar to remove the diff. cover? The pic of the mag-hytec reminds me of another mod I need to do soon.

Also I just noticed yours is 2wd Are the 4x4 version much diffferent?

No you don't have to remove sway bar to remove diff cover. That was my concern before I got it also, I call Hellwing twice and asked if it would fit over the Mag-Hytec diff cover before placing the order.

The PML fits under the Helwig, too.

Hellwig bar for me

The pictures pretty much made up my mind. I like the way the Hellwig bar is mounted in the middle of the axle, not down low like in the 2nd gen trucks. And if there is plenty of clearance for the cover and shocks this looks to be the one. I see where roadmaster makes one also, but a bit on the pricey side.
