Default sway bar questions

First of all, has anyone heard of Hellwig? are their swaybars worth anything?

Secondly, is it really imperative to buy both the front and rear ones at the same time, or will i notice a difference if i just buy one? If so, would a front or rear swaybar swap make the most difference?

They have been around a while - I would say they are reputable.

Considering you already have a front stabilizer bar, I would think adding a rear one would make the most difference.

yeah hellwig is a great company. what are the sizes do they offer? what came stock in your truck? those are things you should look at. and a rear would help a great deal.

oh ok so stock i don't even have a rear sway bar?

Hellwig's rear sway bar that's on summit racing is a 1 1/8" diameter. There's also a product by Belltech in a 1" diameter for $10 less.

When I put on my hotchkis bars, just by changing just the front I noticed a decent difference, adding a rear made it that much better.
