I know it's a different beast but same basic setup! Give hellwig a call! -J

Like, I said, I'm sure it will be ok, but wanted to make sure before I order them. I added a pic of the bags....

Looks like itll clear to me if its the same yr and exact sway bar you plan to get.

So, I can only assume it is the same bar, plus it looks like the one they list for my truck a, Helwig 7651. But I guess to be safe I should give either Airlift or Helwig a call. Here is the bar shown for my truck...
