Your more special then K, funnier than Conan but not Andy, kraftier than the Beasties and more liturate than Shakespear. Your son's lucky to have a Dad like you, hell I'm 54 and I wished you were my Dad! When's the movie coming out and where do I audition?

The best part about this is that you have one of the most *****in XJs out there and guy's that shouldn't post a build thread are as serious as a heartattack about their builds. It's a saga as epic as the lord of the rings and as funny as any Ben Stiller movie and as emotional as lonesome dove. Damn it I hate people that are so talented my bad, ok I admit I have XJ envy. Whitey is a good old gal, I just got to keep repeating that to my self, but she dose aspire to be like Blackie? Can't wait for more rolling felony.

Sooooo, my local UPS guy showed up yesterday.....



(He creeps me out......)

And what does he bring??
He brought the new rear, adjustable Hellwig Motorsports sway bar



Now, at 1st......I had no intrest in running a rear sway bar, but.....Dave over at Hellwig says flexing will be virtually unaffected as it has 3 settings and I'll be choosing the flexiest......



What the heck, I'll test it, offer some feedback and see how things work out.......Construction of the sway bar looks sweet, complete with silver/black speckel powder coat. Complete with adjustable, beefy end links.....



Looking forward to the install, since my rear axle is a narrowed 44, it wont be a direct bolt it, but I'm looking forward to fabricating a clean install!

Now......Can't wait to for the front sway bar to show!!

For those who choose not to run them, no need......
I typically do not run one, I've simply agree'd to test the front & rear package, the units I recieve are production prototypes.....

I'm running a 3 link at about 7" on Q~78's.......it's extremely tippy and has zero road manors....so lets see what happens.

Being the rear is adjustable in this case, Hellwigs testing has previously shown a less than 1" loss on the RTI ramp with the rear connected vs. no rear swaybar.

I can live with that.

Off the shelf hydro Skyjackers up front, RE Nitro's in the rear. Not crazy about the Nitro's but, they were a freebee & new, down the road I'll replace with some sort of Hydro shock.

right now I have RE twin tubes allaround but I'm switching to Bilstein 5150's 255/70 valving, I currently have 2 for the rear but I'm not installing them until I get my 8.8 swapped on.
