Rear Sway Bar Installed

Addco does make one other sway bar model for our tacomas but it is for a 6" lift. It just comes with longer endlinks. You could always mod the end links for any height truck since it is just straight tubing, nothing a little welding couldnt take care of.

If you are not able to mod yourself you could always call and ask for a special endlink to be made.

 

Hey just wondering, is there a reason you didnt go with the TRD sway bar?

 

There is no TRD sway bar per say that is aftermarket. Take a look

There is a rear sway bar that comes on the X-runner only. I could have bought that and all the mounting hardware but the cost would be way higher.

Sport and Offroad TRD package does not a have rear sway as part of the package.

 

i was at the dealer today, and they priced me for one for the prerunner, and i talked to a mechanic about installing one, im not sure why it isnt in there :/ but do you notice much of an improvement with the sway bar? i never take mine offroad, and i love fast corners

 

There is a dramatic improvement with a rear sway bar. I personally don't have one yet, but I have heard only great things.

Also, they are REALLY easy to install. If you have ever used a socket wrench and know how to read you read should just install it yourself.

 

Great! the easy to install part sounds nice, a sway bar wouldn't violate the toyota warranty though right?

 

No way! For any aftermarket part to void the warranty, Toyota has to prove that the aftermarket part was the cause for the incident. So basically, they would have to prove that your truck handled worse because you installed an anti-sway bar.

 

Great!!! I'll look into which one to get!!

 

It does help with body roll in the corners, but in no way will it come close to handling like a car.

I put it on since the stock suspension was so sloppy during commuter traffic.

I have since installed 5100 all the way around and the eibach/toytec 1.6" lift coils. These made the truck handle way better than the swaybar.

 

Ditto. I put it on because my wife complained about the boat like handling on on/off ramps. It didn't transform it into her old SI all the sudden, but it is a noticeable change.

Big improvement I noticed was while pulling our bikes on the trailer... trailer induces a bit less movement. Next step will be poly bushings up front and 5100's all around.
