    The Hellwig bar is thicker which means it keeps your ass end flatter better. It is also has adjustable ends.

    Free shipping probably won't happen again until Black Friday comes around. All those giant parts are expensive to ship, and I need to recuperate. :D

    After much shopping and research,I bought the Hellwig for my 2010. Like Spvrtan said,the Hellwig's made with thicker stock can be adjusted for lifts and it AIN'T RED!:devil:

    I just ordered the TRD Sway Bar from Roman. I also picked up the TRD Shift Knob that I've been balking at. Will let you all know how it goes! Thanks again for everyone's input. I appreciate it!

    My first thought concerning the "with a twist" comment was that you repainted it. After looking at it closer............aren't the U bolts supposed to be facing down at the ground, not toward the back of the truck?

    Very good eye.
    This is another way to mount the TRD sway bar on higher lift trucks without having to modify the end links.
    Since the sway bar is still parallel to the ground, it works just the same. I learned the trick from another member recently
    Great add on for any lifted truck.

    And the sway bar is in. Easy install for the most part. Maybe a slight lift makes sense so it's a little easier to be under here. Good excuse, right? ;)IMG_5673.jpg

    Just installed the TRD sway bar on my 2017 Tundra Crewmax Platinum this past weekend.

    So easy to install and surprisingly, it makes a big difference in handling, especially on higher speed off ramps and sharp turns. I will be pulling a large Chaparral boat and wanted the extra stability.

    Throw in the fact that I'm getting a decent tax return and I may just bite the bullet...

    It looks as though these are easy to install...just bolt onto the rear axle and attach to the frame? Is there already a post on the frame to receive the end links?

    You take out a bolt that goes into the frame and replace it with a longer one that goes through the upright bars. Pretty simple. Yes, U-Bolts over the rear axle.

    No set screws. Factory one screws off, this screws on. Easy peasy.
