Anyone install the Belltech rear sway bar on a 2 door?

[JL8jeff]

I think the part # is 5575 for the Belltech rear sway bar, has anyone installed it on a 2 dr? I see from other comments there is an issue with the driver's side not having the threaded hole for the C bracket to bolt to but the passenger side has the gas tank skid plate bolted to the location and it's tough to tell if the bracket would clear the skid plate edges.

Why would you want to add one?
You can have the one off my 4 door

I went with the Hellwig rear bar on my '25 2 door that did not have one from the factory. That bolted right up.......and it's less expensive than the Belltech unit.

That's the one I was thinking about getting but a Belltech popped up locally for a lot less so I'm thinking about it. I'm not sure I want to deal with the driver's side issue of getting that C bracket bolted into place though.

The install for the Belltech is a bit different than the Hellwig. Not sure why they have both the adjustable end links as well as the 3 mounting positions.

I believe the adjustable links allow you to correct for different ride heights/lift heights. The 3 mounting holes affect the links leverage on the bar, and thus impact it effectiveness/stiffness, forward most hole being the softest setting.

Scooter, kind of wished I would have pulled the trigger on your OEM bar you had for sale. Oh well, live and learn.

Big difference in transitional stability?

Oh yes. I did not like how it drove on the road without it. It also helped negate a bit of nose dive.

This kit is just the swaybar without the endlinks. Did you buy separate endlinks or get the Hellwig kit (7900) that includes the endlinks?

 

[Scooter M'Gee]

My bad.....part # 7600 includes end links and associated hardware.

SAS? Thanks.

SAS with a 2.5" suspension lift and a 3/4" body lift.

I can see why you needed it. No stock one or it was too weak?

Never had one from the factory.

2-doors only get a rear sway bar with HOSS 3.0. None with HOSS. 2.0, and some '21s (maybe even very early '22s) did not even have mounts for it.
