    It should have swaybars front and rear.

    Allegedly the TRD Pro bar is stiffer.

    I would also keep an eye out for Hellwig or someone similar to come out with some upgraded bars. They make kits for the Tacomas and 07-21 Tundra.

    I also have a Limited and the shocks seem more focused on ride than handling. You might get the handling you desire with a set of aftermarket shocks from Fox, Bilstein or other. My sway bars are 1 5/8” front and 1 1/16” rear. Anyone know what size they are on the Pro?

    I was about to ask about adding away bars as well.

    Mine is regular suspension, no Trd, no air bags.

    Truck is empty and turns like a boat, lots of lean.
    When driving on even average pavement, it's all bouncy and can feel every bump.

    So it's not comfortable nor turns well.

    I don't want to lift it as need to park inside of the city garage. Waiting to get my heavy DCU ARE camper shell installed and will definitely work on fixing this terrible handling suspension right away...

    Yep, you have the stock black shocks, weakest of the bunch and marginal even when new with stock tires. Add larger tires and they perform even worse.
    The sport or OR package shocks are better, and of course there are aftermarket alternatives.

    Thank you.
    Do you know if dealer can install shocks upgrade for me to preserve warranty? I don't want the lift kit or truck to be lifted...

    What are my options?

    A lift won’t void your warranty, outside of suspension. I’ll sell you my trd off-road shocks, only 500 miles on them

    Yes, no problem there but I would not buy new. Buy take offs, like the post above for cheap. There should almost always be some available with low miles and a good price from when people remove the factory stuff to lift the truck. The off road package shocks are certainly better than the black shocks.

    I just recalled that I will also need to install more heavy duty springs as I'll have a DCU Max camper shell, and will have some tools in it as well.

    I'll probably go fancy with Dobinson HD springs and shocks. I don't off-road but do want good handling on turns and highway..

    My priority is that I don't want truck to be higher, no more than an inch... As I need to fit into the garage and keep fuel economy good
