aFe CONTROL Rear Sway Bar

I've used Whiteline before...decent stuff. I actually scored an AFE for $200

 

How? It's like double on their website!

 

Mustve fallen off the truck

 

And increase oversteer….

 

Hi All - so i got the AFE rear sway bar installed. I'm thinking of getting it moved from soft setting to medium or firm - to try and see if results will be different or better.

The rear sway bar is attached to OEM end links. My truck only has about 1 inch lift in the back, and i'm not doing any off-roading.

Is there any reason for me to upgrade my OEM rear end links to these?

My guess is that if i set the rear sway bar to firm setting, my OEM end links will fail eventually or wont be able to handle it? And i need these beefier ones form Core 4x4?

 

I have my rear Helwig bar set full stiff. I drive it pretty hard and the setting works best for me. Not sure why all the concern about the stock rear end links since aftermarket rear bars are still smaller than the front sway bar and it uses similar links.

 

An update, had shop move the end links on my rear AFE bar to stuffest setting and it's ok so far. Turns well

 

Yeah....I really dont see the benefit of switching from the factory sway bar.
Normally in a truck that you take off road you're looking for more independant suspension not less.
They used to make sway bar disconnects. They may still make them but I dont have an interest in them. I didnt buy my truck with the intention to offroad it.
Just pull a couple pins and tie back the sway bar and you get true independent suspension.

 

To each their own.
I don't off-road my truck. I drive city streets and highway, so improving handling and reducing body lean was my goal

 

I agree with the not off roading the Tundra.
It's just way to heavy and big for any kind of real off roading.

 

Interesting.
There was no such thing as an adjustable sway bar back in my hardcore wheeling days.
I can definitely see the advantage of a system like that.

 

A rear sway bar that is more stiff than OEM will reduce understeer.

 

Which of course is more of an issue on the street.
