Just installed this hellwig rear sway bar on my 21’ Bronco.

I have a non-Sasquatch OBX model which doesn’t come with a rear swaybar. Luckily, my late ‘21 model had the mounts on the body of the car so I was able to install the rear swaybar, unlike some earlier ‘21 models from what I’ve heard. I also have 35s and did a Sasquatch lift (using the hoss 2.0 bilstein suspension from the Sasquatch models)

The instructions were horrible. The picture were very vague and it was not clear as to what exact bolts/nut/washer to use. I did my best to install this swaybar, including torquing down the bolts at the right amount per the instructions. It just sucked that there were no online instructions or anyone else installing this exact Swaybar.
One feature I found interesting is that the end of the bar has three holes, allowing you to insert the bolts into any of them based on your sway control preference.

I personally did the 3rd hole from the end for a maximum sway control.

This swaybar is a game changer if you come from a non Sasquatch model and added bigger tires and a lift. Although the installation was a pain in the butt, the drive feels much more stable and planted. I would definitely recommend this if anyone feels as if their bronco sways way too much after a lift.

Nice! Did it happen to come with the brackets for if your frame doesn't have them? I'm curious how much lower the mount would be.

I don’t think it did. Mine had the holes in the frame (shown in the picture). It did come with a bracket plate where I insert behind the mount, and from there I can install the bar U mount and screw it into that bracket plate.
