So installed the Hellwig sway bar on my 2500 NCV3 170 yesterday and it works just great. I am heavily loaded and it used to rock and roll, and be very unstable while driving. I did not do a write up because it comes with installation instructions, more like a picture.
Pros:
No more rock and roll.
Stiffer cornering.
No more getting jolted around the van if the tire goes in a hole.
No rocking over speed bumps.
Much less wind sway.
Cons:
I was not on the van when I bought it.
It was supposed to have all needed parts, but I had to buy 2- 1/2" x 6" number 8 bolts along with washers and lock nuts to fasten the links to the frame. I let Hellwig know about this.
Here is a pic, notice I also put air shocks under the axle to bring up the height, my glorified jumbo soccer mom van is improving and feeling more like a truck with each new accessory.
Be sure to contact Hellwig before you order a sway bar, I was shipped the wrong one the first time from Autopartswharehouse.com according the their application data. But they covered return and shipping both ways.
