    Question is do they exist and do I need one ( I’m thinking yes on the later)?

    I'm not sure if there is a specific TRD sway bar for the front of the trucks, but your truck should have come with a front sway bar.

    Yes, I know I have a sway bar on the front. My question was does Toyota make a trd one that will fit a 2008 and do I really need to upgrade it. Thanks for everyone’s input, sorry I wasn’t very clear.

    You probably don't really need to upgrade it, unless you find the front of the truck has too much body roll and want to introduce a little more understeer.

    No need to upgrade anything on our trucks. Upgrading will make it feel tighter around corners. I took mine off for extra flex for off-roading. I don’t even miss it haha. Although I have pretty heavy springs up front.

    I will be replacing my stock front springs with 6112s so I don’t know if that will stiffen it up enough?

    Do you know what the spring rate is? Or does it use the oem springs?

    I believe the 6112s use 650 lbs springs.

    My Old Man Emu springs are 750lbs and I can barely tell I don’t have a bar. Unless I try to avoid a deer at 120 haha:anonymous:

    no need to upgrade front. However, you can add the one for the rear. Improves cornering and towing control.
