Ride-Rites and Hellwig sway bar?

Anybody know if a Hellwig sway bar will fit my rear axle with Ride-Rite Air Springs on there? Shipping to Alaska is expensive, so I don't want to find out the hard way they won't fit! I e-mailed Hellwig but haven't gotten a response yet. Thanks!

Try this thread;

This thread shows an air spring and a rear sway bar. I just ordered the hellwig rear sway bar $235 including shiping. My superglide hitch bracket are in the way of using the u-bolt to hold the hanging brackets for the sway bar. I will have to find someone to weld the hanging brackets to the frame.

shortbed rv- That picture was worth 1k words! Thats what I needed to know. I also see that it clears the Mag-Hytecs. Good stuff! I have a slide-in camper, and I'm trying to tame the little bit of side to side swaying. Thanks much for the replies!

This is the Hellwig sway bar and Firestone air bags system. No problem at all. I believe the Ride Rite air bags are the same.

I installed the Firestones and the Helwig on the '05 - they fit fine together and work even better!
