    They said shipping 2 not going be that much of a difference but he can do $ 570 for 2 shipped . 2 to 6 weeks lead time.
    Also ours going have to be made little shorter at mounting point because of TR shackle. He said just need to get him measurement when ready to order.

    Dumb request but can anybody with a tundra racing rear sway bar take pics of where it bolts on the frame? I'm just curious on its placement

    @bendilzerian I know I'm late to your thread but a number of years ago I built a street based Frontier. The front end I used Radflo coil overs tuned by PRG products with 10 inch long 800 pound springs though 750 would have been a little nice for street use. With OEM cam bolts I was able to get 2.0* of negative camber on both sides. I think Greg at PRG Products can still make the sport valved radflo's just not 100% sure on who to use for an upper mount as the Tacoma coil bucket is a different pattern from the Frontier.

    What size wheels you running up front? You have the TR drop kit right? Curious what other shocks fit the TR spring perch?

    Stock height, not dropped at all. Tire size depends. Stock is 265/65/17. Track tires are 275/45/20. I have tracked on both.

    Just figured I'd chime in here real quick again to followup on my progress.

    I joined a group buy for XII F&R sways that are an upgrade from the X Runner stock sways. Those are still on the way. Hope I never need anything from XII again it has been a ridiculous affair to purchase anything from them.

    The X Brace is installed. Just a few notes on that. My prerunner (not sure on other years/variations) is a '15 prerunner and has a stock tow hitch. I knew it needed to be removed but to my surprise it also utilizes a different bumper bracket to attach to so my entire bumper came off in the process without me expecting it lol. Had to run to Toyota to get the base model bumper brackets to reattach my bumper.

    Anyway, once that was all done, I bolted up the X brace right into the holes that the hitch was attached through. I got the rear two bolts in (the ones nearest the bumper) and the lower two holes of the bracket lined up with the leaf spring bulkheads perfectly, just 1.5" too low. So I had a shop fab up some quick extensions and weld them to the bulkhead for a proof of concept. I'm going to go back and have it done a bit more professionally for a more oem look.

    No noticeable difference with the brace on vs. the hitch; I figure it's doing about the same amount of 'bracing' as the hitch already was. But, it's about a 40lb savings in weight and looks way cooler.


    Can't wait for the sways to show up so I can get those on! Really hope to feel a big difference there.

    Got to test it by carving some corners. Then it will show you its value.

    I have a few corners on my drive home from work where I can push it underneath the overpasses. I've taken it to the brink of starting to understeer. It sticks real well for a pickup. The tires I have were the largest improvement there.

    Really excited to see what the sways do. I can currently take these corners about 44mph right now.

    I also need to readjust the alignment for a little camber up front once the sways are installed though.
