    The front one is just a bar, it comes in bulk overseas so some dealers don’t box single shipments and they can get delivered dinged up, with chips in that nice red paint (Roman boxes them). Be sure they package/bubble wrap it completely.

    Also if you search back, people use to take them off right away and reported a softer ride. Putting a stiffer heavier one over stock moves you closer to sports car handling that is more jarring over bumps.

    My take is get it if you normally travel on good paved roads and want improved handing, less roll/dive. The planted effect won’t be as great if you upgraded to bigger heavier tires.

    Ymmv!

    Since you’re planning to do something with it, take it off and see if you like the ride. If it felt better on, paint it or go TRD. It’s pretty easy with a breaker and cordless impact.

    Ultimately it’s your happiness so go into it without any preconceived notions or distractions, drive your normal routes.

    I have the 21 Cement and I'm going to go with Cement for the stock hooks. Think it might look good.

    Red tow hooks are just blingy. It's like putting nipple rings on your truck. You don't see red tow hitches right? Then why make tow hooks red?

    Truthfully I had my rear sway powder coated black because

    1. I have a blue tundra and I don’t like the red and blue

    2. I have no other red accents in my trd

    Just my Pennies
