    Thanks. I ran sea foam and cleaned the TB about 500-1000 miles ago. Not sure if that caused it or not. Chances are it would have happened anyway, so I don't really care. But I'd like to get it resolved. I'll be installing a bumper in a week or two and will be getting another alignment. I'll have a shop take a peak and do a diagnostic then.

    I just got 285 trail graps installed. I have OME 882 coils with the wheelers 5 pack with there aal. I trimmed the inner part of the plastic and it rubs my sway bar at full lock too but that can be fixed. Trail graps run a little on the bigger side too and are heavy as a mother

    Throw the sway bar in the trash. That will fix that issue there.

    X2.. I was super skeptical at first but I'm glad I listened. It actually rides way better w/o the sway bar. This is the guy who convinced me too haha..

    Edit: you can always take it off test it out and if you don't like it takes about 5 minutes to put it back on.. Swerve around a little to test the boundaries kind of and get a feel for it.

    Tried so hard to talk my friend into removing the front sway bar on his FJ. Puts Walker Evans mid travel on it just to lose all of the travel from the sway bar...

    Haha..

    Has he at least tried to drive it w/o the sway bar??? It's such an easy thing to do there really is no excuse for not at least trying it around the block or something.

    He's crazy to not at least try it out and see how it feels after spending that much. But hey maybe someday he will realize and you will be like "told you so" lol..

    Haha yeah I explained to him what it does and why I removed mine. He drove it around the block and said he'll see how it is on the highway then may remove it.

    I was going to remove mine but my truck feels so damn tippy as it is when it's loaded with camping gear already. After installing a plate bumper and RTT I would think it'd only get worse. I know the benefits of it but I hate the feeling of my truck swaying when in turns.

    He would be better off putting the rear back on and taking the front off. Or just both and be careful. Wouldn't be a bad idea to look into a universal anti-rock for the rear.

    I'm confident that my current set-up without the sway bar has much less roll than the stock suspension with sway bar
