    Have you checked the breather on the axle? Could be clogged or something, I think it usually affects the axles seals, but you never know.

    looks like you have aftermarket suspension, assuming you have heavier coils you can get rid of your sway bar and you won't really notice it. With 600lb coils on my 04 I didn't notice any difference with it off.

    I wouldn’t say he won’t notice. I noticed a huge difference with my Kings. Big difference but still comfortable and something you get use to.

    true, maybe I was just expecting it to be worse, but I really haven't had to adjust my driving habits at all. Did have to swerve once going about 35 to avoid an idiot that cut me off and I didn't feel unsafe with it removed.

    I took mine off my 4runner when it had 883 coils. Thing rode like a caddy compared to my Taco now with the FJ coils and bilsteins and the sway Bar still hooked up.

    It just feels different, I could tell a huge difference going through switch backs at highway speeds.

    Ditch the sway bar or get extended links.

    So it's finally raining around here, been wanting to actually test the 4WD buuuuut the nearest BLM land is a good two-three hours drive, and the nearest SVRA is about two hours North.

    Sucks living in the urban sprawl of California... lol. Everything is either a Starbucks or a housing development.

    I drove without the swaybar on my stock suspension for a while and it was the most terrifying experience I have ever had. Every turn I felt like the truck was going to capsize, seriously.

    Hey guys I will be selling my Dakar’s with the add a leaf very soon. When I get my custom springs built and shipped to me. I literally haven’t put more than 500 miles on them and won’t put much more! I will sell them for $400 local pickup. I am just south of Atlanta. My truck has to much weight with tools, bumper and future plans for my rig to run these springs. Anyone want them please pm me. I hope I will have my custom springs in less than one month.
    Shipping was $200 so for you local guys or willing to drive a few hours it will save you some money in almost new springs!!
