    Wow. That is honestly surprising, esp for the heat that I get when I mention the SBD is perfect on my Sport.

    I would guess (a total SWAG) that your iron block (head also?) is probably close to the weight of the all aluminum 3.5l?

    if you are an OR with the smaller 28mm diameter, energy suspension has some "universal" greasable bushings that work like a charm part number 9.5163

    No way your truck rolled out of the factory without a swaybar up front.

    What basis do you receive heat lol? Because it’s a sport?

    aluminum head, iron block. Doesn’t matter, because the sway isn’t even negligible, I don’t even feel a difference, but I do feel a massive difference off road. True independence. Feels very stable and safe, and anything I can’t manage on my own, VSC ideally would step in and modulate the brake to straighten out the truck in the event of some weirdness.

    Always because of the Sport. That's a given.

    The real heat comes from the SBD though. Just unsafe as it is said. IMHO, the SBD on my Sport feels like a stock OR but without the brake dive. At any rate, I like it and try to softly suggest it when folks say that they hate hitting bumps in the Sport.

    It’s just people knee jerking. They’ll do it in this thread too. Anything that will roll a Tacoma SBD, will roll a Tacoma with one.

    The Sport is said to have 700lb springs (650lb on the ORs?). Combine that with the stiff SB and life is uncomfortable on an off road.

    Do you find yourself getting pitched side to said on uneven bumps? If so, the SBD does help. I have no idea about the Pro spring rates though. The roll might be too big on road?
