Hellwig Sway bar - install question

I just installed the Hellwig sway bar on my 03 3500 and now I noticed that I have to steer the car a little to the left in order to go straight.

Anyone else have this problem or did I just not align everything up correctly.

fyi - before installing the sway bar the truck runs straight as an arrow.

Very strange! Does the bar move freely if someone jumps on the back of the truck up and down? Is the bar parrallel to the ground? Are the connecting rods 90 degrees or more from the bar? Best way to explain it is: Where the rods connect to the frame should be an inch or so farther to the rear than where there connect into the bar.

I have the connecting rods exactly at 90 degrees I will try and adjust it further back to see if that helps

THANKS!
