    Hey guys, just put the rear sway on my 21 pro the other day. Think I may have put the driver's side U bolt on the wrong side of the brake line mount/bracket thing. Anyone think this is a big deal and I should move it to the other side of it? Thanks!

    The wider that bracket is placed, the better the sway bar can do its job. So yes. Move it over.

    Mine is to the left side of it. Looking at your picture, yours looks like it has a slight lean to it but should sit a little better on the axle if you move it.

    Both brackets should be placed symmetrically, i.e. same distance from the center.

    Thank you that's a great pic, looks like I.need to move to the other side of the bracket. Should've double checked the instructions first!

    Is this easy to install? I am looking to get a rear sway bar as well. I use to have a 2018 Sport and it came with it but currently, my new to me 2018 Platinum doesn't.

    Yes. Took me 45 minutes by myself.

    My single favorite tundra modification.
    They should have put a rear sway bar on from the factory.
    They knew those who would pay would buy the trd rear bar. They make a lot of knock offs , if you want to pay less.

    I've read some older post (on here I think) that mentions sub $200 but now the OE are mid $300s. I guess prices have come up a lot. Maybe this might be something to do after I upgrade shocks/struts.

    But I've already read that switching out the front sway bars makes a bigger impact.
