Rear Sway Bar on a Lowered Ranger?

[Mirage775]

I've been looking at the Hellwig Adjustable Rear Sway Bar for my truck. All the pics on Stage 3 show it installed on lifted Rangers... That's a problem, I was hoping some of yall could help me with?

I'm planning on doing a 6" rear drop/axle flip and was wondering if this bar would still be able to work after the axle is on top of the springs? They need more parts for us low-lifers

The rear of my ranger is stock height. I thought adding the Eibach shocks kept the rear axle under control but that was driving it like a truck. The factory shocks seems to allow it to swallow around a lot more. Now I don't think I need a sway bar for my driving style

Mine's going to be more performance street oriented, so I was curious for holding curves better, than it not having one at all?

I installed a stock Splash rear sway bar on my '03 Ranger FX4 and it helped tremendously!

I had a 93 splash an it handled well for a pick up but it would understeer like crazy if I really pushed it.

Dropping the rear that much (lowering the center of gravity) with firmer shocks would probably be enough for me but sounds like you want an all out canyon carver. You can always do the drop first then add the sway later

Indeed it would be a canyon carver weekend/daily driver for me I am definitely going to drop it first and see how it is, but I was hoping someone had an answer if the Hellwig bar would work or not. Nobody to ask, since I'm pretty sure it's more for lifted trucks...

Might work, would need shorter end links.

Yea, when I was looking at the pics of the endlinks, I thought the same thing. Would be nice if it weren't $500 or I'd try it after I drop it...

Wonder if straight end links would work, looks like they might.
My old R/T, I lowered it 2" and put a rear swaybar on. Then I had a Core panhard bar, I broke the factory one and a spohn bar. Lol, it was fun.

Mine has a 4-2 drop on it and I was wondering if that would work on mine also.

I’m considering a torsion bar type sway bar setup (like an anti roll bar that has flex) I think a lot more rear roll control would make a huge difference on my lowered truck.
