rear sway bars, or anti-sway bars, depending on where you are from

so, hellwig has their rear sway bars listed as fitting 19-25. i don't see a reason to not believe them as the trucks look awful similar from the underside. what do you guys think? i am going to add a rear sway bar because its terribly windy where i live so it should help with the rocking on the highway and my truck is 2wd so i am not worried about how much flex i get off road. i also prefer to have a great handling on road vehicle anyways and always add sway bars to my vehicles that are missing them.

i wonder if the bronco has a rear sway bar and what size its front sway bar is? on my 04 ranger, the front sway bar from an explorer is a huge upgrade and the rear sway bar from a bronco2 is an upgrade. some older rangers also did not have a rear sway bar, like the new rangers are missing them but mine had both. anways, i would hope the bronco ones would be upgrades to our trucks but until the start becoming more common, i geuss it will be slow finding out info on them.

They changed the suspension on the 24/25 so it might not fit. Not sure if they changed the position of the sway bars though.

i was looking at their sway bar and mounts and it seems like it would work because its a generic looking bar and mounts that just clamp to the frame and rear axle housing. i would think the end links probably changed a little in order to adjust for the width change on the frame. or maybe they just connect on the outboard side of the sway instead?

i read that the gen5 ranger guys who got the rear sway bar said it made a huge difference

Did you do it? I'm also considering.

I had one on my 19 and it handled much better. Especially when I had more weight and the camper on. There are 3 settings you can adjust it to from light, medium and heavier. You can easily disconnect the end links with minimal hassle for more offroad articulation. I just pulled it because I'm selling it back to ford and ordered a RR.

I have not. Its still on my list of things to buy. I know it will make a huge difference in the winds we have here

I did not go with a sway bar but i did use the Road Active Suspension. It has helped a lot with squat and sway. Huge huge difference with cargo and towing.
I went with RAS rather than a sway bar to help with load when carrying cargo. Made a big difference with towing too.
Of course with towing, the torsion hitch was a night and day difference too! Smooth smooth tow.

still haven't gotten my rear sway bar. anyone gotten on on their trucks? there is still very little options out there for the 6g trucks

ok. i ordered the superpro 24mm adjustable rear sway bar kit from sohi performance. its on sale for 394 and free shipping until the end of the month. the next closest place was 450 and then on up to 6xx something bucks.

says it will be 3-5 days till it shows up, which sucks since we will be up in leakey texas visiting my mom. so once we get back, i will throw it on and see how the truck feels with no more sway and rocking from the wind. hopefully it feels as rock solid as my 04 ranger and my old 2017 titan felt since both of those came with rear sway bars.

i am not a fan of the boat feeling in vehicles and add rear sway bars to everything

After a fe months are you still happy with RAS? I'm looking for something to help with squat when towing. I have a small camper but heavy tongue weight. Especially if I have a load with toys in truck when towing, squat is horrible.
