    I posted in the 2nd gen forum, and the only response I got was to try posting in the Street Trucks forum, so here goes again

    I've been toying with the idea of adding a rear sway bar to my Tacoma (2014 access cab, 4 cylinder manual). The options seem to be either the Hellwig package, or use the X-Runner sway bar with the SOS Performance hardware. Has anyone compared these 2 options and come away with a strong preference for one over the other? While looking online for the X-Runner sway bar, it looks like most of the hardware is available as stock Toyota parts (e.g., https://parts.manhattanbeachtoyota....ear-suspension--stabilizer-bar-and-components )

    Has anyone added a rear sway bar to a 5 lug Tacoma using just OEM Tacoma parts?

    My truck isn't driven off road, just for street driving or sometimes on unpaved surfaces

    You're adding leaf spring helpers in front of the rear axle. There's a lot of different posts about how it doesn't actually do anything, or just a ubolt in front of the axle will help.

    But from my personal experiences are for the month I've had them on, the truck handles around corners much better, it feels like it's sticking to the road better. When I accelerate the front end doesn't really go skyward as much, and it got rid of axle wrap
