The front and rear Hellwig kits are at ebay from seller, "neverenoughauto". Mine were kit number 7701 and 7702.

I saw that. Was looking for a "deal" I couldn't refuse. Post up some pics of your goods when they come in. Mu rig surely could use new sway bars and links

Technically you are right but I couldn't think of another way to say it. I want those ******* kits here now ******** It!


I'm very much looking forward to your assessment of the Hellwig bars, as I'm interested in making the conversion myself.

I'm interested if the OP has ZW7. I experienced the exact same thing with my 03 equipped ZW7. Changed to regular shocks without changing the springs. You need to swap the springs out also.

Looks like the Hellwig bars might be better, at least in the case of the GMT-900. They’re basically the same size as the Eibach so they should be more effective since they’re solid. Probably weigh a hell of a lot more though. Maybe I’ll grab some and put the Eibach’s on the other truck.

I have the Eibachs on my '17 burb (F & R) and I can tell you they were a huge upgrade over the factory sways. The other thing that made the difference was going to a low profile tire on a larger wheel, from the factory 18's. Everything else in my suspension is from the factory (55k miles now).

I use my 18's for winter driving which are on the truck right now, and I still have confidence taking a corner at a decent clip but not as confident as when the big wheels are on. The deflection in the tire between my factory 18's and the 24's is pretty noticeable.

I have the Eibach's on my 2012 Denali XL w/ 22inch wheels. Zero float. Handles like a car at high speeds.

One of my #HAUTEHOE 's upgrades was the solid front and rear antisway bar upgrade from Belltech. I kept stress bending and breaking the rear bushing brackets so I did some investigative bargain shopping and found a billett aluminum bracket from a company in southern california that designs them for side by side UTV's. I found a set that almost exactly mimicked my factory bracket footprint for around $60 delivered. I installed them on the rear so far and, Bam! They even came with zerk fittings so I can lubricate the urethane bushings as needed. Finding a set from an outfit that makes them specifically for an '08 Tahoe would have run me over $300.
