Has anybody used the "Addco" sway bars? Significantly less dollars....

If you search around you will see they are also significantly less quality and most who have them are NOT happy. I'm still waiting on my Hellwig now. Apparently back-ordered?

OK another question, If I went with the Hellwig front and then used the cheaper Addco would there be an advantage. They say that swaybars should be put on front & back? Is that true?

I installed both the Addco and hated the way they mounted. The front hung down really low under the front axle and it got hung up on stuff to easy. The rear hit the bottom of the body when it flexed. I broke the front u-bolt mounts twice and finally just took them both off. If you have a street only Bronco they may be OK but not great.

I need to put one on front of my '78...not sure if the Hellwig will work. Pics?



Bill I just put duffs long arms on my 78 and have deavers super flex coils. I’m in the same boat need something to give me back some street manners but maintain the flex I just gained.

Is it correct that this sway bar won't work with the duff long travel front shock hoops?
