    Im installing my Bilstein 6112 this weekend.
    19 TRD Off-road 2wd 3/4 notch (1 inch)lift.

    How many run no sway bar here?
    I had 5100 on my 05 Tundra and no sway bar and it felt great. Big truck and i never drove it crazy.

    Anyone here not run a front sway bar or anti sway?

    I have mine at 4/5 with the sway bar, going to be swapping the block out in the rear for a set of RXT leaf packs soon and thought about removing the front bar to see how it feels while messing with the suspension. If you remove yours on install let me know how it feels

    Took my sway bar off recently because I thought it was squeaking. Ended up being my lower ball joints. I have left it off and gotten used to the truck without it. I haven't gone wheeling yet so I don't know how bad rubbing might get. If youve seen trucks tilt over in turns this is because of the sway bar being removed. Doesn't feel unsafe if you're a competent driver.

    I went a few years without one on my 05 Tundra and it felt fine.
    If I have time i'll pull it this weekend

    On my 2015 DCLB I tried it out for a while. I didn't mind the lean into corners much, but I found it naturally had more static lean on the drivers side without the sway bar. I put my sway bar back on after running about 4mo without it. Without the sway it felt like the rear end was disconnected from the front and it just never felt like the truck was settled, it feels much better with the sway bar on my truck. Previously had 3rd gen TRD Off Road suspension and if felt great with or without the sway bar. BUT 3rd gen Tacoma's have 700lb springs from the factory and since 6112's have 600lb springs, I think it's going to feel very under sprung on a 3rd gen. Especially without a sway bar! Once I get UCA's, I plan to get the 700lb 8112 springs for my 6112's and probably end up at 3/2 clip settings.

    Curious what your thoughts are when you do it though!!
