I mentioned it it my other thread about lowering my 08 Denali. I knew the bars wouldn't fix the lean, just wanted more bar in the back so why not change them both!

I'm rolling with the Hellwigs swaybars & a 2/3 drop. As stated before you can feel the difference just by sitting in it. The driving experience vastly improved.

Still trying to get rid of the ½" lean to the drivers side.....I'm about to give up.

That's a 30-minute/$20 fix. Buy a lift spacer set and just use one on the driver side. There are two styles- Under strut and over strut. Sell or give the other spacer to someone else that is a half inch low.

*EDIT* Just saw your other thread. I remember your issues now. Oof.

Yes, the Hellwigs are damn heavy. For the front sway bar, I had to bring a second jack under the truck, so that I could lift it into place, so that I could set the bolts into place.

But, what a difference in the truck's handling..........

Well, I went with Nolathane bars. The front fit great but I shortened up the end links ¾" for a better fit. The rear bar took a little modification of the DJM end links and its a snug fit. Still trying to get rid of the ½" lean to the drivers side.....I'm about to give up.
Ah YOU'RE the one who bought the last set on Amazon! I knew it had to be someone Chris referred!

After driving around with the new bars it is very much a different vehicle. It's body roll is significantly less and going around the corners is a lot more fun. I think it might be just a bit on the firm side. I think most of that is the new springs all the way around which will hopefully soften up a bit as I get more miles on it.
