Rear Sway Bar for Tacoma and Remove front Sway Bar

gona just remove front and see, have few tests to perform.

 

Any conclusions for this? I have the front frame chopped for increased approach angle, so putting my front sway bar is seems like a bad idea as it would be in front of my skids and catch on things. I got a big camper on the back which really increased the body roll so I am thinking about getting a rear sway bar

 

Yes. This.

In general, driving on pavement with only a rear sway bar will tend to make the rear end try to come around to meet you. It will also tend to do so unexpectedly. In other words, at the rough edge of control, the vehicle will leave the pavement rear end first.

With only a front sway bar, at the rough edge of control, the front end of a car or truck will tend to leave the pavement frontward.

With both front and rear sway bars installed, at the rough edge of control, the vehicle will probably still leave the pavement frontward, maybe sideways. That depends on the sizing of the sway bars. In general, the front sway bar must be a larger diameter than the rear sway bar. Diameters are relatively easy to figure out with a regular car. It's a little more difficult with a truck if the truck is usually unloaded and has a light rear. The determination there is how much smaller in diameter the rear sway bar needs to be. I don't know how to make that calculation. I'm planning to install a Hellwig on mine fairly soon, though.

By comparison, my 1996 Dodge club cab turbodiesel came with sway bars at the front and rear. I have never driven it so that it got to the rough edge so as to leave the pavement. With the factory installed sway bar, the road manners have always been neutral with little to no sway or wallow. On the other hand, the stiff springing of the 3/4 ton chassis took care of a lot of that.

As to sway bars reducing articulation, I have no insight. Until I owned the Tacoma, I only owned 4x4s with tube axles.
