Ron has a 2007 Ford chassis. You can see the holes in the axles with rubber bushings in them, where the flimsy OEM sway bar poked into the axle ends. Roadmaster used those elegant shiny brackets to provide a perch for legitimate end links. Hellwig (which we have) made a more home-grown looking bracket for its end links. From 2008-18, Ford put bosses on the axles to accommodate end links. So, for newer chassis, the Hellwig and Roadmaster bars set up about the same.
If you already have a pre-2008 bar from either vendor, it will fit a late model axle. This for those upgrading their axles with new ones from a 4x4 shop, to get bigger brakes and all-new suspension parts.
