Adding Rear Sway Bar Question

I have a Hellwig Rear Sway bar and will have to install while truck on ground. Instruction say the weight of the truck needs to be onthe suspension when its installed. If I jack up he truck and put jack stands under the axle is it the same as having the truck sitting on the ground.

When I put my QA1 suspension on, and went to set the sway bars I put jack stands on the rear axel and both lower control arms in the front. I also set it as close as I could to ride height.

It's close enough. Try to keep it equal front & rear though. If you put the rear on stands, put some under the front as well.

Thanks, I kinda thought that might be the right way as then the truck is level withthe weigh on the suspension.

Re: Adding Rear Sway Bar Question

I'm curious as to why you need to put it on jack stands? When I installed my rear sway bar, there was plenty of room with the truck on the ground.
