Rear Sway Bar Saved My Marriage (J/K)

My wife was giving me a little grief about getting the CM 5.7L. She's very into green and so am I but to a point. My 3 daughters love it! Anyhoot, she's been bugging me about the body roll on turns since she's always doing something (usually cosmetic) while I drive. So I just put on the rear sway bar (based on all the feedback on this and other forums). Needless to say, I haven't heard a peep about body rolls from her since. Along with all weather mats, this might be a must have for all non-off roaders! I would unscientifcally say that it has reduced about 50% off the body roll one would feel. I wound't say it now drives like a sports car, I'd say closer to an SUV. In conclusion, less body roll = one less reason for me to roll my eyes at her.

I was wondering to myself why this wouldn't be standard on the Tundra. Then I answered my own question. Another way for Toytota to make $250 on each car.

 

Lol happy wife...happy life

 

Best combo I've found is that sway bar and Bilstein 5100s on all 4 corners.. My Wife has a RAM 2500, and every time she drives my truck, she complains about hers.

 

What do the suspension springs do? Do you feel less bumps? If so, I may need that too. Is it a DIY for non-mechanics?

 

How easy or difficult to install this? Thanks.

It's pretty easy. I'm not a real handy guy. There is a great YouTube step by step:

I'm not a strong guy and don't have a air gun. But I went to a local tire shop and the removed the bolt for me and torqued the big bolt (85 foot pounds). They didn't have a 45 (+|- 15) foot pound adapter so I torqued the other bolts myself using torque wrench. They let me park there and do the install and lent me any tools I needed. Gave them $5 tip even though they didn't ask for $. Even then I wasn't strong enough to get to the click (50). I drove around and later asked my stronger brother in law and he was able to do another half turn.

You should definitely do it if u don't do serious off reading. Turns with much less body roll.

 

well it is a dodge.....

 

rear sway bar is not recommended for off roading but for highway and streets it's great.

 

Is it easy to disconnect for when you do go off-roading?

 

Fixing to get me TRD sway bar tomorrow off 5mile app 180$ can't wait
