Sway bar clearance?

The Fox suspension kit I put on the front came with sway bar relocation spacers, and it also came with spacers to adjust the skid plate mounts to avoid interference with the relocated sway bar. Apparently some trucks are fine without the skid spacers, but my OEM TRD Pro skid plate was going to have issues so I installed them. It somewhat defeats the purpose of the lift if you just drop the skid down, not to mention you can't use the jack point without removing the skid. I'm not a fan of how the TRD Pro skid mounts anyway.

Anyone know if the RCI skid plate will clear the sway bar if it has been relocated? This is a 2018 TRD Pro.

I ordered one anyway, I'm just wondering if I should plan for some other adjustments. I'd prefer to keep the sway bar.

 

I have 6112/5160 that is fine without a sway bar.
You have Fox which is supposed to be better.

not sure why you have a sway bar to worsen ride and reduce articulation on a slow off road truck, among other drawbacks including those mentioned in original post.

 

My truck's #1 job is as a daily driver around town, and so far I haven't been turned around on a trail due to lack of articulation. I'd prefer to keep the sway bar for better stability on the road (not sure how it worsens the ride). Just wondering if someone here has installed the RCI skid with a sway bar relocation spacer.

 

I may have found a partial answer in the product photos. The truck in the pic below has a relocation spacer. Whether there's enough clearance between the sway bar and the skid remains a mystery . . .

 

Okay I'll chime in.

I recently removed my sway bar because I was having clunking clanking Noises coming from my front end, i was feeling confident The noise was interference between sway bar and coils. After removal, The noises have settled, the real question is, what is the root cause of those noises. You have just given me one more thing to investigate and will require me putting the sway bar back on and looking at the clearance you have pointed out because I have no idea where the answer is. If I get bored and reinstall it, I'll take measurement and report.

 

i installed the sway bar relocation spacer, have Fox coilovers and RCI skids on my 2021 TRD OR and everything clears fine with a "few fingers width" between it all.

 

Thanks, yeah, I saw your posts about that. On my truck, it cleared the TRD Pro skid fine at full droop, but under compression I was concerned that it would rotate into the skid. It *may* have cleared, but it would be really close.

I still have some Moog sway bar ends I bought for my old 2nd gen that I never installed, need to see if the 3rd gen is the same part number. The Moogs are greasable.

Awesome, thank you! I was sure there was someone out there with an answer!

 

Thanks for all who chimed in. And for anyone that finds this thread with the same question, I can now confirm that there is no interference. Similar to honkonbobo, I have a few fingers width of clearance.
