First TRX with a rear swaybar!!! Handles amazing!!!

+Update @Johnny@JustBoltOns forum vendor/founding member/etc is selling as well....

Just an FYI - Just posted about the Hellwig 2022+ model front and rear sway bars coming out.. Includes installation instructions and the no-drill mounting.
BOOMER
 
I already have the sway bar 7883 on hand and my 2023 truck will be here on Friday, I prefer not drilling for the installation so can someone help me get specs of the U-bolts so I can get it, I don't have truck yet to measure or try but I wanted to get it ready.

Can't help on U bolts but the drilling is not that bad with a good bit. I've also noticed the u bolts sit in further which has to impact the spring rate of the sway bar.

I noticed on some pictures that they installed the right side u bolt way inside than the left which like what you said it will have impact. I think they should install it same distance from the center.
 
No but the Roadmaster one looks so damn strong, the hellwig looks so small.
Honestly if you look at factory truck rear anti-sway bars most are small because there's much less weight at the rear of the truck compared to up front and no need for thick bar.

I drilled and taped and used the supplied allen bolts. I have a lift so it is easy to work on. If you are laying on the ground, it might be easier to drill and use nuts, but you will need longer allen bolts if using the spacers. I used 1/2" x 2 flat steel for the spacer, with a notch for the 1/2 clamp. 1/2" x 1-3/4 would be better. Be careful that the half clamp does not contact the spacer when the swaybar is rotated. If you use 2" wide spacers you will need to notch them for the clamp to clear. This is an additional interference point when not using the spacer as well. Next time I might use UHMW poly or nylon for the spacer, much easier to work with. Be sure to only use allen bolts, there is not enough clearance for the head using hex head bolts.
Why did you make spacers?
