HELLWIG front swaybar?

does anyone know if HELLWIG has got the front swaybar into production yet? I think they have the rear one up and running.
Also who makes a good front steering stabilizer for our Xs?

I have a 2/WD X.

Thanks in advance.

s to all and the best.

Re: HELLWIG front swaybar?

For the front steering stabilizer, I believe that Rancho makes one. Not sure of the model number.

Re: HELLWIG front swaybar?

Ed,
I just ordered a Hellig front sway bar from shox.com so at least they think that one is out. Of course, as always, the proof is in the pudding, so I won't believe that it exists till it shows up on my front steps. The front and rear were about $140 each plus shipping.

Re: HELLWIG front swaybar?

FYI !!!!!

In case you don't get one page of the instructions in your box for the rear, the bar goes OVER the differential. I was missing that page and we put it on under. It was close to the diff. and after 2 days was rubbing. I called Hellwig directly 800-367-5480 and the support was GREAT. The guy who developed it (Cliff) stayed on the phone while I was under the truck turning it around. The only pain in the ass is removing the shock brackets, but here's the good news for you newbies...you can take the bracket completely off because there is a little dimple that tells you where to align the bracket when you put it back on. The bar goes right over the diff...very easy, I might add. I didn't have to cut any holes off...FIT PERFECT. Now if I can just get more than 13mpg, but then again "I can't drive 75....................."

Re: HELLWIG front swaybar?

The front came. I had the front and rear installed at the same time so I can't tell you how much of the fantastic improvement came from the front. My big pig of an X is now fun to drive hard into corners!

Ed I believe the 4X4 uses the steering stabilizer only and not available for out 2/WD X. But call Ryan Marselis of Superduty Headquarters I remember he sells Procomp units.
