If you’re looking to improve the handling of your Chevy truck, or any vehicle for that matter, I highly recommend the addition of a good rear stabilizer bar. Nothing has improved the handling of this truck more than the addition of this rear stabilizer bar.
I actually got this Hellwig rear stabilizer bar for #ETCGDadsTruck about a year ago. I wanted to wait until I sorted out the rear end noise before I installed it because I didn’t want to have to work around it while I was taking the differential apart.
Now that the stabilizer bar is installed it feels like a completely new truck.
I hope you find this information useful!

Will this work with a lifted obs?
For additional stabilization on my 99 GMC Sierra 2500 (old body style) I added Monroe Air Max air shocks on the rear with separate air valves. At 20 psi on a turn it doubles the affect of the rear sway bar. Really flat turns.
You should have put the hoop behind the housing.
Front and rear strutbars and stabilizer bar really improve the handling…

Hi Eric,Could you Please give me some idea about the scanner to troubleshoot the car and supported for all cars?
Ever think about using a sway bar from a Escalade or Denali?
You can work for the truck, or the truck can work for you!
Would it have helped to add some threads higher up the end link?
I hate general instructions. Imagine someone with less talent than Erick attempting to do the install.
Thank you sir erick Godbless as always sir😇
will it have any effect if the truck is "loaded"?
a sticker… 😐 LOL
Installed rear sway bar, and upgraded the front sway bar on my 74 El Camino few months ago. Its a different car to drive, love it.
Great quality video as always. Long time Eric fan here, but hasn't checked back for the past couple of years, since Eric started doing project cars. Maybe due to the beard, Eric, you looked much older than the Eric I know, in just a few years. Best wishes.
The 2 attachment points for the mid section of the bar should be on the chassis instead of at the axle housing, shouldn't it? Something seem to be off the way it looks.
That stabilizer bar looks like its not long enough and its not coming out to each side of the frame far enough which is making the end links angle in the sway bar Eric
That'll do donkey That'll do 🤣🤣 good one Eric
You probably need Shorter End Links Eric
Hellwig makes amazing sway bars and stabilizers as well as end links great video Eric
I saw the Houston Inn at the intersection of Mason Morrow Milgrove RD
What torque wrench would you recommend?
i had a 1992 GMC Sierra that i put a sway bar on. the bar came off of the front end of a 1997 ford Escort, putting it on the rear end was a two day job making drop down brackets with on old 250 volt AC transformer welder. preventing body roll/roll overs. ended up putting a 5 inch dent into the beads of the passenger side wheels. some highway that had a 10 inch tall stone block on the side of it. the tires were fine but the rims were crushed so deep that the air was leaking around the tire bead. I was annoyed because there was supposed to be yellow paint on that curb. 4 lain divided highway, about 130, caught air and held together. driving at night cant see anything even with the head lights on. But what animal goes "WHO" and doesn't need 2500 watt flood lights for the high beams on the 1990's chevy. just thinking if i wasn't wearing a seat belt, would have been catapulted out of the seat… OGM! EH! just like going on a date, not even that got a rise out of me.
I wonder if that bracket angle will eventually come back to bite you. With the axle brackets pointing forward, every time you go around a corner or flex the rear suspension, you're putting a vertical force on those brackets where the bar goes through, which will make them want to spin on the axle.
