Hellwig or Ford Sway Bar?

[jrv8984]

I want a sway bar for my truck 04 F350, 6.0, QC, LB, 4x4. I have been doing a lot of reading, but most of what I have found is people talking about their excursions. Is the Ford rear sway bar better than a Hellwig unit. Would a hellwig unit work better with Ford endlinks/higher quality endlinks? I do some limited offroading, and I am in the market for a Travel Trailer.
I was coming home from upstate PA this weekend traveling down route 15 with the wife driving and she says to me let me know if I should slow down so I don't roll it. She doesn't like to slow down to take turns at all.

Thanks

I just replaced both of the oem sway bars on my F-450 with RoadMaster sway bars.
The oem bars were 1.125" front and 1.062" rear, the RoadMaster are 1.375" front and 1.5" rear. I haven't had a chance to haul my camper yet, so I can't comment on the difference.

The Hellwig rear swaybar is a fair bit larger in diameter than the Ford one. Added one to my 06, which didnt come with a rear bar. My neighbors 06 did come with a factory bar, and my Hellwig is larger in diameter.

i looked at both myself for my 08, what i liked about the hellwig is that it dosnt hang lower then the axle like the Ford OEM bar. it is a lot larger also.

Hellwig is the only way to go.

The Hellwig will prevent roll better than the OEM. What makes the Hellwig better for towing or hauling makes it worse offroad by limiting suspension flex; there will be more frame flex. The OEM is a compromise, less body roll control, but more independant wheel travel.

I have air bags and that bar ,, the outboard mounted bags and that bar are nice

I did the bags first and that helped a lot ,, but I wanted more so when I saw a craigslist add I was all over it LOL I had to cut the links and weld a sleeve to fit my lift .. but is was a no brainier

works well and I still can get to the lake via off road fine ,, I wouldn't suggest rock crawling without disconnect links

IMO...get the Ford kit..a 30mm bar, fitment is perfect.
