Front, Rear, or both Sway Bars?

I have a dilemma about the sway bar. What do you guys recommend to install? Front, Rear, or both Sway Bars?

 

Thanks for your advice. I believe the one with the sway bar is the TRD PRO, I have a SR5 TSS.

 

I'll check it out, thanks.

 

Every truck has a front sway bar. The TRD front sway bar is just an upgrade. It’s big and red and you would know if you have it.

You currently have no rear sway bar, so adding one here would be more beneficial. Upgrading to the larger TRD bar in the front is up to you.

Here’s the front TRD bar on my Sport.

 

The rear TRD swaybar will give you a noticeable handling improvement. The stock front swaybar is tubular, lighter and can flex.
The front TRD swaybar is solid hunk of steel and strong as hell. It will improve the performance of your truck but not as noticeable as the rear. If you can only put one on, then go with the rear swaybar first.

 

Yes the rear sway bar is a great add on.

 

Rear sway bar

 

I run both TRD's as well.

 

Where is the best place to get the front TRD sway bar?
I know Sparks has a disclaimer about the bar already having paint damage from Toyota. Don't want a damaged one.

 

I think it’s hard to not get a damaged one. Toyota doesn’t put them in any kind of box or even wrap them with anything.

 

Wondering if I order one locally will it be in better condition than getting one shipped to me.

 

It might help, I wonder where they come from?

 

I ordered one locally because I got a coupon in the mail from the dealership. I went to pick it up and it was all scratched up. The parts manager gave me an extra discount because it was `damaged`. Paint scratches are nothing. You wont be able to see the sway bar with the skid plate on.

 

That’s kinda what I was thinking, even if its scratched up a bit big deal.

 

My OCD won't allow it. Lol

 

You could get it and have it powder coated

 

Yup, that's what I'm thinking.

 

I have both TRD swayers on my 2017.

I would note that the front TRD swayer will not only tighten things up up front but will make the Tundra kind of "skip" off of small bumps in the road and not really "absorb" them. If you're at highway/interstate speed you want to know that. Especially if you're in the process of changing lanes and likely hitting the "bump" at an angle. Just be aware.

 

Get a Hellwig one than.

 

So? you guys recommend them?

 

I’ve got both and the truck handles great. You’ll be hard pressed to find a front one that isn’t a little scratched.

 

I have no sway bars front or rear cause they’re for cars































I actually have a stiff spring rate on my lift and enjoy the flexibility of sans sway bar. On road feels good still even while towing. This is of course without any harsh highway speed crash avoidance- I’m sure in that cause I’ll flip uncontrollably into the ditch

 

I had both and got rid of both. If you wheel your truck you're better off w/o 'em. I agree with @2ndgenny, they're for cars, they limit body roll but make the ride harsher.

 

I have both and like them a lot. And I drive a truck!

 

He doesn't want any scratches under his truck, I'm sure he doesn't go offroading at all.

 

I have been know to occasionally go over some curbs in the grocery store parking lot does that count?

 

depends on the use.
I added the rear sway bar first and it tightened the rear end...however when switching to extended bypasses and HD leaf pack, it started binding and I wasn't getting full benefit of the suspension upgrade. so now the rear sway bar is gone.

 

you'll see big difference in the rear. not so much in the front

 

Yep, depends on use. That rear sway bar can become a rock rake off road. Had a guy that used to wheel with us, kept telling him to pull that thing off. Surenuff leaving Buck lake he drags not 1 but 2 HUGE boulders out into the middle of the trail, right in front of me, effectively blocking the trail for half an hour

 

Guilty Hahahahaha
