    Hello All;
    I have a 2019 Tacoma TRD OFF ROAD. I have just installed a Rough Country 3.5" lift Kit with Blocks instead of leaf's, any way my question is. is there anything in need to do to the sway bar. it does not look right, it looks stressed to me. Is this normal? if there is something i need to do please inspire me.
    Motojoe.

    My ADS 2.5's came with a relocation bracket that dropped it down an inch.. I ended up removing the sway all together though and I'm not going to miss it. If your setup is beefy enough you might not miss it either.

    If you still want to keep it, I've seen sway bar relocation blocks for sale on Amazon and other retailers.

    EDIT:
    Something like this would work: https://www.amazon.com/TORCH-Bracket-2005-2021-Toyota-Tacoma/dp/B08KG8D1YF?pd_rd_i=B08KG8D1YF

    The swaybar relocate is only if your swaybar makes contact with your coils by moving the swaybar attachment point forward slightly. If you just lifted the swaybar isn't “stressed” in anynway.... Unless you only lifted one side lol

    drizzoh; you talked about removing the sway bar completely. is your Steering knuckle, and upper control arm stock?

    Knuckle, yes. Uca, no.

    The shocks will do more for damping and handling loads that the sway would control than the other 2 parts you listed, but I'm sure my super beefy uca's don't hurt.

    It does this also, but changing where it mounts to being an inch lower also helps the preload on the endlinks (similar to putting extended or shortened endlinks). You want the bar as horizontal as possible at ride height to give the most neutral ride characteristics.
