Couple suspension questions

Hello I'm a new owner of a 2014 tacoma trd off rd. I did some research and I'm hoping you can clear some stuff up for me. 1st are the shocks or the springs what separate sport and off road. I know the sport is stiffer but what exactly makes it stiffer. 2nd dose anybody upgrade there front sway bar and also possibly add a rear sway bay. I understand If I wanted a stiffer ride I should have bought a sport but I just don't like how they look plus the off road had other goodies that I liked. Any advice on how to get a stiffer ride would be great. Thanks

 

Springs springs on the Off Road. (I believe the only thing that makes the Sport stiffer is the larger Anti-Sway bar. The OR should be stiffer based on the valving of the shocks.

I wouldn't worry about getting a stiffer ride. Upgrade the suspension and get Load rated tires versus P rated and that will put some jar in your spine.

Also the 17" versus the 16" rims on the sport will take away from some of the niceness of the ride. But everything I've heard says the OR is stiffer honestly.

 

Dose anyone know if the sport sway bar will bolt right in place of the off road sway bar. Also anyone install a rear sway bar the the x-runner has?

 

Yes it will, but I believe you need the mounting hardward for the sport sway bar as it's thicker.

Regarding the X-Runner bracing, no clue.
