    Heh it was kind of a joke since you dont need a sway bar offroading. I mean if you really need gusseted spindles then you probably really dont need a sway bar.

    Over my head! So I am just going off your first post where you suggest that the spindles are a good idea off roading with 35s.

    I do intend to keep my sway bar on. Are you saying that the sway bar will take most of the stress and gusseting the spindle is not necessary? Only recommended if running without a sway bar?

    I think he's saying if you're wheeling hard enough to need gusseted spindles, you usually remove your sway bar.

    100% if you are lifted and on 35s why hold yourself back with a sway bar

    Thats right, spindle guessets will help while offroading especially with a big heavy tire and at that point you typically remove the sway bar. I havent had a sway bar in about 3 years lol but some people like them.

    I need to look into the sway bar removal more. Honestly it seemed like from my very little exposure it's splitting hairs at that point for articulation. If I am wrong let me know.

    I took mine off when I did my lift 3 years ago. I've only been on 315s for about 10 months.
    I saw a slight increase in front wheel traction, but I saw much more when I went to better upper control arms with more down travel.

    Take it off and see how she feels, just go slow on the high speed corners at first or you'll definitely pucker a bit. I think overtime while offroading you will prefer it removed.

    I noticed a fair amount of articulation gain and not too much body roll (have stiffer springs too). I think with how limited front travel is on a Tacoma anything helps.

    Rub on frame. You feel it when doing u turns and stuff. Doesn't make alot of noise but you feel it a little and can vibrate the truck depending on tire.

    Rub and clearance at UCAs. Only rubs off-road.
