I show you all the parts you need to make this install a reality to modify a rear sway bar kit from Hellwig to work with the 2021 Ram TRX. Only a couple parts stands between you and drastically better handling! And what about that "normal" TRX lean? We get rid of it. Does the TRX still articulate with a rear sway bar? Lets find out how much flex we can get.
The bolt needed is a m10x1.5x65. You will need 2 of them

The bolts that are needed are m10x1.5x65. You will need 2 of them. You can get them from the dealer with part # 06104428AA

@artistofshred1767 2 года назад

So is it normal for the driver side to slightly lean ?

Hey, I am 56 and have been into Mopar‘s since the 1990s. You are a true believer, as Stan Lee would say. Awesome channel.

@AlKetbi55 3 года назад

Hey bro, Thanks for all the things you are sharing about the TRX. I totally agree with you without the sway bar sharp turnings are not comfy and dangerous. I am gonna place the order now. 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Thank you again

I got my bolts and now I am waiting for the sway bar. Can't wait to put this on.

@ButterDaInsider 2 года назад

Just remember the '22's, Ram intentionally took the mounting bolts of the rear ends. Need to drill the holes now. www.ram-trx.com/threads/22%E2%80%99s-don%E2%80%99t-have-swaybar-holes.8542/#post-178038

@joicyiii 2 года назад

I got mine in. I used a lock washer and blue loctite on upper bolts. I bought Flame red OEM paint and primed and painted before install. Looks great and feels way better.

@Allworld365 2 года назад

Thanks for the video bro. You’re right it does give you the oh shit feeling going around curves. Just ordered mine

@ihatemytown 3 года назад

Awesome 😎 👏🏼 I knew someone would eventually do this And the boys in the TRX FB group were so mad you did this 😂 You definitely didn’t lose much articulation, or none at all. If anything this will help off-road. High speed off-roading is about control and traction. That sway bar will help keep in tight to the ground. Don’t listen to all them. Keep doing you bro 🤙🏼

@Blue_Flame_Raptor 3 года назад

A rear sway bar will not help offroad, it makes it worse. If you hit a bump on one side of the truck it will transfer it to the other and upsets the truck. Many raptor owners remove the front sway bar for that very reason.

@ihatemytown 3 года назад

@@Blue_Flame_Raptor that is true But regardless of that. I’d rather have a sway bar on a 700hp truck to keep it stable

Nice job as always! I had a Tundra and I installed the TRD rear sway bar. Looked good painted in red. Idea for your next vid.... And you put on side steps? Awesome! I think I missed that video.

I'll do the step video Monday. I wanted to get this out because people were asking about the install. Powder coating the sway bar and tow hooks would be a great idea! Thanks!

@DeeperImageAutomotive 2 года назад

This is a great idea and a necessary mod IMHO. Did it help at all with towing? I am going to be towing a Travel Trailer that is about 6,100 pounds dry. Also, one Idea is maybe use the Quick Disconnects from the RAM 2500 end links vs the ones in the kit, that way when you want to off-road just pull two pins, move the sway bar out of the way, and now you have the full suspension travel again. Thanks for the vids! I will be doing the Mopar steps next and really appreciate your videos.

@ButterDaInsider 2 года назад

Yeah quick pins could work. I wanted to try this out first since I was first to do so. As far as towing I towed a 4000 pound enclosed trailer and everything was steady. I got a easy and quick video for the Mopar steps. If you are cool with your salesman, they can add the code to get the button in your uconnect to be downloaded over the air saving you a $100.

@Vettdude72210 3 года назад

Nice video! When you installed the mopar steps did you have to get the dealership to turn them on in the Uconnect system? Or are they just plug and play? Thanks

@ButterDaInsider 3 года назад

Plug and play. I'll have a video Monday about the install. I might go to the dealer and get it flashed next week

@davem1176 2 года назад

Have a 2022 TRX built 5/22 and the Dana 60 rear is not drilled to accept the mounts. 3 holes have to be drilled on the differential brackets.

@djgoliday 3 года назад

Damnnn that is nice... no lean at all in that mug

@ButterDaInsider 3 года назад

@72catboy 4 месяца назад

Not sure if your Hellwig sway bar kit came with all the bolts or not but I just installed mine in my TRX and I didn't need to go get any bolts. It had everything in it for a complete hassle free install. 🤷‍♂️

@timothygatten3753 2 года назад

Hey Butter, I bought a Hellwig sway bar kit for my TRX but I can't install it. I can't install it because I don't know what I am doing, but the reason I can't install it is because my truck don't have the 2 vertical axle bolt holes with nuts on the left axle bracket. I have the 2 vertical holes with nuts on my right axle bracket but not on my left bracket. Have you ever heard of that?? I never saw another TRX that didn't have the bolt holes with nuts. I have pictures if you want to see. I also have pics of what looks like transport damage to that left rear shock.

@ButterDaInsider 2 года назад

Post on the TRX forum www.ram-trx.com/ or in the FB Group and I'll take a look at it

@dohcsi2003 3 года назад

Butter! Great video! Just installed mine yesterday and fully agree! Completely changes the ride for the best! One question... It did not really take care of my lean... I still have about 1.25" lean. I installed the sway bar with about a 1/2 tank of gas. Made the sway bar level. Adjusted the end links. Tightened everything. Any thoughts?

@KMcBride151 3 года назад

Mine as well. Maybe I wasn't on level ground? The back is level but the front is off an inch. 1 inch lower on drivers side.

@ButterDaInsider 2 года назад

What I did was adjust both links down a couple turns to dial out the lean. Some will cry that I'm doing pre load on the suspension but that already happening from the factor with the truck weighing hundreds of pounds more on the driver side

@timothygatten3753 2 года назад

Did you guys have to drill any hole for where the sway bar connect to the axle brackets? Thanks!

@KMcBride151 2 года назад

@@timothygatten3753 no I didn't have to drill any holes.

@timothygatten3753 2 года назад

@@KMcBride151 my TRX don't have the 2 vertical holes on the left axle bracket. I have the 2 holes with nuts on the right side bracket, but not on my left. I also been looking at a few other TRXs online and they have the bolt holes. WTF, why would mine only have them on one side?

@fakeusa 4 месяца назад

You still keep it in the middle setting? Just put mine on, feels almost too tight on the middle setting, does it soften up a little overtime?

@VitalySokorenko 2 года назад

Why are you installing a stabilizer? If it is not intended there, and with a lot of work of the suspension it can be pulled out?

@ButterDaInsider 2 года назад

The TRX doesn't handle well so add the bar to help with it and to stop it from leaning. You only loose a couple inches of articulation but it can be easily be taken off in minutes if need to.

@KMcBride151 3 года назад

Mine still seems to lean an inch heavy towards the drivers front. But rear is level. Do I need to readjust?

@ButterDaInsider 2 года назад

You may have to adjust the rear links for the swaybar down to help level the front. I dialed my truck in and haven't had an issue yet

@toddhall3720 3 года назад

Did you measure the "lean" with a full tank?

@ButterDaInsider 3 года назад

Yes. I did the lean factory on a full tank in another video. Today I filled up and used a level and it was dead even!

@mccaffre7 2 года назад

Help! I have 22 TRX ordered this kit and got the bolts needed and went to install but can’t… Ram must have changed the rear axle mine doesn’t have the holes to mount the sway bar to axel….

@ButterDaInsider 2 года назад

Yeah they removed the holes. I believe they are going to offer a swaybar option in MY23. You can drill the holes and tap them as others have done.

@davem1176 2 года назад

Go buy a Cobalt drill bit set and you will have to drill 3 holes. 1 hole on the Pass side is already there so use it as you're template. Easy peesy. Don't use the aluminum collars...not needed.
