Comparing Roadmaster and Hellwig Rear Sway Bars For a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500

Question:

How does this sway bar compare to the hellwig? I know you sell both, and the road master is 1 1/8 vs the hellwig is 7/8. But I think the hellwig is solid steel? Is the roadmaster hollow core? I like that the roadmaster is more of a complete kit with end links and hardware.

Personally, when I have a choice between Roadmaster # RM-1129-135 and Hellwig # HE29GR I choose Roadmaster. I have used their sway bars for several years and have never had an issue. You are correct that the Hellwig is a solid 4140 steel and the Roadmaster is also a solid 4140 steel so with the larger 1-1/8" diameter it is going to be stronger than the 7/8" Hellwig option.
