    Hello. I just wanted to get some input here.

    I am not a crazy offroader, but I love taking the truck for some fun from time to time. This is PRIMARILY my wifes commute vehicle so I do not want to mess it up for her.

    I have a 2012 Tacoma ACLB with the V6. I have already put 5100s all the way around and the fronts have OME 884s on them. The fronts are set at zero. The ride quality is AMAZING, but I want more articulation in the front when offroad. I am amazed that there does not seem to be a quick disconnect kit for the sway bar out there. I have seen some people have just removed the sway bar all together.

    For those of you who have done this, have you noticed and handling issues when on the pavement? The body roll must be significant, unless the IFS deals with it.

    Any input is appreciated.

    I have king COs, sway bar delete, I do sway a bit, I dont notice anymore, but passengers notice right away heh. Im not sure how the 5100s will handle without a sway bar because you normally need stiffer springs with COs to help stabalize a swaybarless front end on a tacoma.

    Thanks everybody. Doing some reading now and do not think my wife would like the ride. If there was a quick disconnect option for our trucks, someone could make MILLIONS!

    Have a great weekend.

    Too poor to list anything interesting.
    I did the delete when I had 885s and had no issues. Then I did it with 886s before my steel bumper. And now with the bumper, it still feels good.
