Sway Bar Help

I just recently bought a 2016 double cab Tundra 4x4. I have been reading on upgrades and keep hearing about rear sway bars but i am a little confused and need some help understanding. What I read is that they are great if your on main roads but not good if you "off road". My question is, what is considered "off road"? My driving is to and from work, pulling a 30' bumper pull camper, and pulling a 19' boat. However, I have 500 acres and I am driving through pastures checking cows and fences on a daily basis. Would that be considered "off road"? Would a rear sway bar benefit me? Thanks for any advice!

 

Taking it off is more for those of us wanting more articulation when going over extremely uneven & rocky trails. You'll probably benefit from a beefier sway bar for both towing and pasture roaming.

 

Welcome Rusty. I consider that off road but different. I think you'd benefit from a sway.

 

Youd benefit from having a sway bar. Most us would, the few guys who doing hard core offroad driving such as climbing over large rocks or very uneven roads are better off without one. For dirt roads, pastures , fields and towing you'll be happier you have sway bars

 

Thanks for the help guys!

 

If you are driving mostly on paved roads and some dirt, gravel roads you will be fine. If you are trying to go off rock crawl or something along those line you want the most articulation possible. My trd sway bar has really helped towing.

 

You will benefit from the sway bar.

 

If you are not spending thousands of dollars on suspension parts, you are not going "off road". Put another way. Off road conditions that would necessitate disconnection of the tie rods on your sway bars would likely require other additional go-bump components. Driving through pastures should be fine. If your pasture is rough enough to dangle a wheel, then yeah, that could be a problem.

 

You’ll be fine with a sway bar unless your pasture has some serious rocks/boulders you go over.

Definitely be a plus when towing

 

You should have no issues. Get that sway bar!

 

Theirs the TRD sway bar and a beefier one from Hellwig

 

Thanks for the replies!

 

I just installed mine a week ago and its awesome, best mod I have ever done and I kick myself for not doing it earlier. Really helps the overall stability of the truck while towing as well.
