    Absolutely! :muscleflexing:

    When I bought my Tundra, I drove one with and without the front and rear sway bar. The handling difference between the 2 trucks was dramatic to say the least. Definitely a needed upgrade IMHO!

    I did both on my 14 a few months after I bought it new. Great bang for buck upgrade.

    BTW: sway bars manage the body roll in the corners.

    I see folks saying sway bars make the truck ride rough? No, they do not.

    What affects the ride are the heavier and larger tires (E load rated side walls) and shock upgrades that are way too stiff for a 1/2 ton truck. All the larger AT tires that look cool have E-Load side walls are 5+lbs heavier per tire and are way stiffer compared to the stock tires. Combine these with say a pair of 6112s and 5800s and you have the recipe for degraded ride quality…ask me how I know;)

    I have sent a couple messages to the OP because by the way the picture looks of the rear sway bar he has the left bracket in the wrong place. It is supposed to go on the outside not on the inside. This is a picture of said bracket that comes with the TRD Rear Sway Bar, notice where the top left bracket is. It also explains this in the directions. I am going by the above picture.
