    And I'm interested in how my truck will wheel without the sway bar on...anybody in here not running a sway bar? I think my droop will improve and bump as well...just a little iffy because I put lots of highway miles on my truck.

    Why are you painting your truck? You got a free "brown" paint job from all the mud in La Grange on our outing there! :D and Alex if you want my rear Icon 2.0 Remote Resi shocks I'm gonna pull the trigger on some 12" shocks soon when I decide i want to spend the $$$ on U bolt flip, super bumps, extended brake lines, 12" remote resi shocks, and new leaf pack...:eek: oh and I forgot the BAMF rear shock relocate...holy crap thats gonna be a shit ton of money!

    I've taken my sway bar off my Tacoma. I started having problems with the sway bar contacting the OME Front 886 Coil Springs after I installed the lift kit. I've had no drivability problems without the sway bar. I have better suspension travel when I'm off road. I am also careful to not make sudden lane changes with the sway bar removed until just the other night when I was on the highway and about to change lanes. The traffic started to slow very quickly and I had to complete my lane change abruptly so as to not hit a semi in front of me. At first it scared me but actually the handling of the vehicle was not bad at all and completely controllable. My 2 cents.

    Right on Brad. I like hearing stuff like that. I want to disconnect it sometime and go wheeling to see if it's really nice. I have 650# springs with my Icons so that should help a little if I decide to ditch the sway bar for a little bit.

    we can talk the next time we wheel...I really only have like 15,000 miles on my rear set up so not much at all. I'll show you the set up and see if there is a price we can both agree on :D

    Just take it off and see for yourself! It's not like you can't just put it back on if you don't like it.
    The way I see it, the (anti)sway bar is made for street driving performance. Take it off and it will help your off-road performance. Plus leaning around corners is so much more fun anyway!

    For the rear to be paired with 12" Kings what leaf pack do you guys suggest? I rarely haul and maybe have 100 pounds in the bed when I wheel. I never tow anything either. I was thinking Dakar or All Pro Expo pack.
