    i have the front, need a rear sway bar that is not Trd red. I saw something about one by helwig but can not find one on line, suggestions, I like the performance of the trd one but don't want the red paint, is there another manufacturer that has one as good...I prefer not to repaint the trd as they are in a vonerable place for paint chipping.

    1005151144.jpg When I bought my Hellwig bar for my 2010,I just did a simple search on my Homepage for "Hellwig rear Swaybar for 2010 Tundra". If I remember correctly (rare) I believe I ended-up getting it from Amazon.

    He is worried the repaint will chip off an show the red through. But I feel that would only be the front side which wouldn’t be seen from many angles anyways. But I hear good things about the hellwig

    Another stupid question, regardless of which sway bar I get ... I also want a 2/1 leveling kit so I can ride on a little bigger tire, should I get the lift/leveling kit on first and the the say bar. I would thing that the sway bar needs to be adjusted to the right height of the frame. Second queation, will I have problems with the additional 2" with the stock sway bar? I assume I hope correctly that the leveling kit will come with a spacer for the front shock/spring so that should not be an issue, correct? The only reason for not painting the Ted sway is that I am handicapped so any modification or reprinting I will have to pay to have it done. I don't do a lot of off-road but I do pull a travel trailer, hence the need for a rear sway and I do beach cruising a lot. Surf fishing. sorry if I'm acting stupid but I'm not a mechanic, just a tundra lover.
