TRD Pro Suspension - sway or no?

Anyone with Pro suspension using the TRD front sway bar?
I know a lot of folks remove their sway bars all together but I’m not looking to go that route. Still mostly street driving as it’s my daily driver.
Anyone have experience with this set-up?

Thanks!

 

Bueller?

 

You can leave it on no issues.
It rolls a little more with out it but nothing too crazy.

 

So I currently have to stock sway bar on but I have a TRD front sway bar sitting in the garage that has yet to be installed. I was planning on running that with the stock suspension for a while but just got a great deal on some TRD Pro takeoffs. Trying to figure out if I should just leave the stock one on or try the TRD sway with the pro suspension.

 

The front sway bar is setup very different than the rear, the rear sway bar greatly reduces the articulation of the axle because of how it’s positioned. The front sway bar is set in front of any articulation bind point, so it doesn’t greatly reduce wheel travel.

 

Are you running the stock bar or the TRD version? I just don’t want to spoil any added benefits from the new suspension.

 

I know someone who has the PRO setup. They loved the TRD rear swaybar, but not the front TRD swaybar. They actually hated it.

 

Nope stock, but I’m not a rock climber, I mostly use my truck in dirt, mud, and snow.

 

Sorry. I missed the whole trd sway. I have no experience with the new trd sway.

However I did install the Cb kit on @Devildawg712 tundra. I think he is running both trd front and rear sways, maybe he can give you some feedback with his setup.

 

Front sway bar is really easy to remove. I would install the pro suspension and leave the stock sway. Drive it for a month and remove it. Drive it for another month without it and then put the TRD on. Then decide for yourself. If you put it on while you swap suspension, you’ll never know how it’s affecting the ride.

 

I have just the rear TRD swaybar and as you know the Pro suspension. I like the combination, it works well for my uses and does well for my type of off roading. Leave it on and see how you like it. It’s not hard to remove later or switch back and forth. I imagine the front TRD sway will stiffen it up that much more. I’d leave it out and stay with stock for comprise. But red is pretty lol

 

Thanks all, thats kind of what I was thinking. I havent installed the pro suspension yet, will probably be a few more weeks until I get a chance to do it. I'm swapping out the stock skid for a new one and it will be a little bit more a pain to swap the front sway bars after that.

 

I may just add it now and see what it does to the stock suspension. Then I can decide when I go to install the pro suspension if I want to keep it or not?

 

Do I need to come over and force you to hurry up!? Lmao

 

I'll be honest, I'm still questioning whether or not I can tackle it. The rears look like cake, the fronts, eh not sure.. I'll need a few new tools and at that point I'm close to how much it will cost to have someone else do it. But who doesn't like new tools??

 

I’m a plumber by trade but no official schooling in auto, other than High school auto shop. But over the years have taken on automotive tasks I was afraid of. Also in plumbing as you learn and even to this day I get intimidated on something new. Whether its a big job with lots of detail or new tech. But when you get it done yourself.... it feels just so DAMN good! It’s ok to pat yourself on the back! Do your research. Watch multiple YouTube vids and study those instructions I gave you. Come up with the best method for you. Get those tools! You need them anyway to double check even if you pay someone lol.

Set aside 2 days. You only need one but give yourself some breathing room. Do one side at a time and unbolt the swaybar links on both sides. So you’re not fighting it. Get a paint pen or nail polish to mark the cam tabs and also for marking the bolts you’ve tightened. This helps with knowing what you’ve finished and quick reference to se if they’ve come loose in the future.

Message me and I’ll give you my number. If you get in a bind I’ll be there bro. I got vacation and sick days!

 

Thanks Bro, much appreciated! I've installed literally everything I've done to the truck so far, I guess that's how we learn, by doing. I've always had the thought that I'll mess with anything that won't seriously injure myself or my family if it fails on the road. The suspension kind of fits that bill. But the more videos I watch and install threads I read, I'm starting to think it's really not that bad. Not like I'm tearing apart the motor or anything. I'll definitely hit you up when I'm get ready to do the install

 

I think I'm just going to install the new skid today and hold off on the sway bar for now. Once I install the new suspension and get a feel for the ride I can decide if I want to try out the front sway. Otherwise, its off to the marketplace haha
Thanks!

 

The first side took me a little bit. I was careful and methodical. The second side was a breeze. After your done, you can tell where you could’ve made shortcuts. Even the first side, I saw what was unnecessary but went by the book anyway. Just to get an understanding of it all.

I’ve had a couple hard ciders and feeling motivated today!
