Features to know about

More Control When Hauling Heavy Loads: Adjustable 1-5/16" Rear Anti-Sway Bar

When you’re loaded down and the rear starts to wallow, this bar keeps things steady. The solid 1-5/16" diameter 4140 chromoly steel design ties the rear axle to the chassis to cut down on side-to-side movement. With three adjustment holes, you can dial in the stiffness that best fits your load—firmer for heavy towing or lighter for everyday use. The result is a level, confident feel even when you’re hauling serious weight.

Stable, Confident Handling in Crosswinds: Cuts Out Body Roll

Crosswinds and passing semis don’t have to keep you gripping the wheel. The Hellwig Adjustable Big Wig Rear Anti-Sway Bar minimizes sway and lean so the truck tracks straight and feels planted. By balancing the rear suspension, it helps you hold your line through gusts, curves, and uneven pavement without constant steering corrections.

Less Fatigue on Long Drives: Smooth, Predictable Ride

A stable ride isn’t just about comfort—it’s about endurance. By reducing the constant motion that forces you to counter-steer, this bar helps you stay focused and relaxed behind the wheel. The truck feels composed and easier to manage over long distances, cutting down on the mental and physical strain that comes from fighting sway all day.

Built to Last: Polyurethane Bushings and Powder-Coated Finish

This system trades basic rubber bushings for polyurethane, which resists oil, gasoline, and ozone so it won’t break down or squish out over time. Less flex means more consistent support mile after mile. The bar itself wears a corrosion-resistant silver vein hammer-tone powder coat, while the brackets and end links use a black powder coat for long-term protection and clean looks.

Straightforward Install: No Drilling, Hardware Included

You don’t need to drill into the frame to add stability. The Hellwig Big Wig bolts on with the included zinc-plated hardware and bushing lubricant. It’s a clean, direct setup that gets you back on the road faster with a noticeable boost in handling and control.

So happy to receive this item after the first box showed up empty with UPS! This box can in open but all utensils I believe were still in box thank goodness. UPS is not five star but this company is especially Paula who handled our order. Made her aware of the UPS alert that box was empty and she had a new shipment to us within hours and it still arrived the day before the installation appointment! This is the best company and will order from then again and again when we need items. Why??? Because the customer service is OUTSTANDING! Thank you!!!!!

Thanks for the great review Joseph, even though your order was not the greatest experience, and realizing that we are not UPS. Paula is great! I sent your review over to her and she appreciates your kind words. On a different note, I have the Hellwig on our 2024 Silverado 1500, made a huge difference with that body roll! You will definitely notice a great difference when you get it installed.

I haven’t loaded my slide in camper (3500 lbs) but have pulled the fithwheel 42’ 17000lbs it definitely feels better

I installed it on my 2022 f250. With my truck camper on the truck I can drive down the road without the body roll and sway I had with the stock set-up. I installed the matching heavy duty front sway bar as well.

Just got it installed, but the first drive I could tell a noticeable difference. Clearances were a bit of an issue on my 2026 F-350, so not 5 stars. Looking forward to our first camper trip with it installed.

Installed on a 2024 F250. I pull a 32 foot, 9k#, bumper pull travel trailer and was hoping for additional stability. Over large bumps I noticed the truck moving a lot in the lane from the trailer pushing the rear end around. Adding the rear sway bar tightened this up with a noticeable difference in stability and reduction in trailer sway. Only concern is the adjustable brackets don't adjust long enough to level the sway bar. Could use an addition 1-2" of length.

Is to easy by yourself, my f250 handles much better when towing a 5th wheel

Package never showed up. No proof of delivery with photos. And I have to wait up to eight days to get my money back… never buy anything from here again. Horrible

Easy to install yourself, if handy & have the tools. Tip; use a vise to press in the bushings into the endlinks

Made a huge difference on my powerwagon with a fourwheel camper. The factory offroad suspension made it sway badly but this hellwig cured the issue. Must have, well made, etrailer rocks! I tried airbags first and they didn’t take the unsafe sway out, buy a hellwig!
by:

Installation was simple and easy, parts for exactly as they should except I had to cut some bolts on my air bags that were extending too long. That was not a problem of the anti-sway bar, just a modification I needed to make on my air bag bolt lengths. Otherwise it was a pretty easy install. I preassembled everything in about 15 minutes, laid the parts on either side of the rear end and it took about an hour to complete the install. Ride is fine on the stiffest level and it made a big difference in stability around corners and over rough terrain.

This is one of the best modifications I have made to my F350 carrying an Arctic Fox 990. Totally improved the ride on corners and rough roads.

@Wayne That's awesome to hear! Where are you usually towing your Arctic Fox to?

I placed my order and it shipped and arrived quickly. This item fit well. I was pleased that I could install it without having to remove the fuel tank. I have a 1999 Ford F350 4WD diesel SRW truck. I installed airbags but was still disappointed in the sway with my Lance 1062 camper. This sway bar made a noticeable difference. My truck did not have a factory installed sway bar.
I highly recommend this product.

This Hellwig Big Wig #7320 Anti sway Bar for our 2022 Ford F-250 CrewCab 4x4 fit perfectly! It is SIGNIFICANTLY more robust than the stock OEM Anti sway bar installed as part of a Camper/Towing package that Ford installs. We are using it this weekend to see how much less sway/tip, or rate of settling occurs compared to the original.
by:
I purchased the Big Wig sway bar set, front and rear (1-5/16" diameter) for my 2020 F350 after considering alternatives (Timbren, RAS). I am very happy with this new setup. Together the two anti-sway bars eliminated several handling issues I worked to resolve over two years of replacing worn components. My truck has over 205,000 miles and now handles better than new. The larger front sway bar from Hellwig and new bushings eliminated bump-steer and most of the slack in my steering. I previously replaced the end-links, all of the ball joints and tie-rod ends, shocks and steering stabilizer. Each made improvement tightening the steering but did not meet my expectations for improving control. The rear sway bar keeps the truck level with a load and has helps control the vehicle and trailer in cross winds. I have two large box trailers I tow, one is a 38' travel trailer, the other a 26' car hauler. I now have much more control and confidence when towing. Ford should ship any tucks that aren't a tremor or a raptor with a rear sway bar.

One word of caution: double, and triple check your Hellwig kit for fitment. I originally ordered the wrong kit based on a lack of detail between 4x4 and 2WD models. Kudos to etrailer, as they made it right after realizing the distinction wasn't easily found. If you have the correct kit, the rear sway bar sits level.

Wow, 205,000 miles and handling better than new. That is the kind of glow-up we love to hear about Greg! It sounds like you really dialed in your setup piece by piece, and it paid off in a big way. Pairing the Timbren and RAS with upgraded sway bars is a serious combination, especially for hauling trailers like yours. That added stability and confidence in crosswinds makes a big difference on long trips. We also appreciate you calling out the fitment note on the Hellwig kit. That is very helpful for others getting set up. Glad our team could help get you squared away there. So where are you off to for the next adventure?

  • What Hellwig Rear Sway Bar Fits a Lifted 2021 Ford F-250?
    The 1-5/16" Hellwig Adjustable Big Wig Rear Anti-Sway Bars are designed for 2WD # HE97MR or 4WD # HE94FR versions of your 2021 Ford F-250.

Do note the lift heights are for the rear lift so be sure to verify how much rear lift your particular lift kit has since it may not be the same as the front which is typically...

If not, just pick with 2wd of 2wd model and you will be good to go.

  • Difference Between Hellwig HE94FR and HE97MR for 2019 Ford F-250
    Hey Steve, welcome back! The difference between these two Hellwig Adjustable Big Wig Rear Anti-Sway Bars is the fitment. The # HE94FR is designed for 4WD models and the # HE97MR is designed for 2WD models. Since your 2019 F-250 is 4WD you need the # HE94FR. What kind of trailer are you towing and where are you headed once you get the sway bar installed?

  • Correct Hellwig Big Wig Rear Sway Bar for a 2024 Ford F-250 Tremor
    Hi Peter! Thanks for checking before ordering. I reached out to my contact at Hellwig to make sure there wasn't any confusion with the Tremor package, and I can confirm that the correct rear sway bar for your 2024 Ford F-250 Tremor is the Hellwig Adjustable Big Wig Rear Anti-Sway Bar, part # HE94FR. The # HE97MR is not the correct fit for your truck. One of the reasons I really like the Hellwig Big Wig is that it gives you the ability to fine tune the handling. It uses a heavy duty 1-5/16...
