    Hopefully he just removed the sway bar. 700LB spring in the front = a pretty good reduction in bodyroll. Plus you will feel a difference as the shocks can articulate more.

    If you switch to a full aftermarket Leaf Pack, you will also feel a reduction in bodyroll as well.

    In some models (Sometimes the 2nd Gen taco, 5th gen 4Runner) when you add a sway bar relocation it drops the bar down and can also cause the sway bar to make contact with the Radiator support brackets, so you have to spacer them as well. This can then reduce ground clearance. I would just delete the sway bar when running these higher end shocks (2.5" diameter).

    The exception is usually with the 6112's you don't need a sway bar relocation kit bc the collars sit a little higher on the shock.

    Downside is a little more bodyroll, which is easy to compensate for. No more racecar driving on the freeway for sharp corners or exit ramps.
