    At least for the 2017 the Amp harness is supposed P&P. As far as your take-offs I would try selling them, you might get lucky.

    How do you like the bullrings? I've been thinking about getting some but the only ones for a Crewmax are polished stainless. Wish they offered them in black for my truck.

    Yeah, I paid the extra for the pnp harness model, less headache and I promised the N-Fab take offs to Adam
    (aramirez73) so I'm good to go, just expecting some rain this week so I should get to the AMP's in a couple weeks!

    Thanks again, brother!

    Glad it worked out ,looks great. Just wait til u get to feel and appreciate the difference. See I had faith in ya. Glad to be able to help. Don't forget to drive for about 1k miles and now that you're a torque wrench specialist, break it out again, and check to make sure they still good after 1k miles. Nice job buddy.

    Guess I need to buy a torque wrench when I order this sway bar. But, now I'm torn on the TRD sway, or the Helwig. :annoyed:

    Both Sway Bars seem top notch, I bought the TRD one based on all the research and posts here, I'm happy!

    These are the Torque wrenches I bought and are real good quality,

    Just bought the Texas Edition badges...I guess they don't sell in black so I'll be putting the rattle can to em... they'll be going over the SR5 badge over the rear door...I took the idea from another member @TUNDRA375 off here which I liked!

    I drove it a few time and it seems the truck is firmer and hugs the road better, I didnt get to get the full benefit yet being the wifey was with me and she hates my driving because she says I drive like a mental patient! So I had to drive the baby steps way, but this week I will go myself in full blown mental status and get a better feel!

    Also, I have never driven with a sway bar so kinda clueless what to look for, any input thanks!
