    The front bar is about 29lbs compared to about 17lbs for the front.
    It is beefier than the Sequia front sway bar as well.
    Now if it is needed or not, I'm not sure.
    The rear definitely helped.

    No sway bar is the best sway bar

    Just ordered the rear sway I think I will be buying the front soon. If @Roman gives me a good price I will do a
    write up on the front and of course purchase from him.

    Is this going to be an issue for off roading like the rear sway bar?

    I already had the rear sway bar on the CMax. I added the Sequoia sway on the front. This was like sort of icing on the cake. The wallowing stopped with the rear sway.... The front mad the turns more predictable. Yes all this sway stuff affects the off roading.... I barely off road to care. I am more highway miles.

    The rear was an issue because you're going from no bar to having one. So the articulation was def affected.

    For the front tho, I think articulation shouldn't change much regardless of how stiff the bar is since the droop wouldnt be under load. So if you already running a stock FSB, going to a stiffer one shouldn't effect your OR capabilities.

    I went from a 2016 with a rear bar that definitely helped to a 2018 TRD Sport and the responsiveness was immediately noticeable. Well worth it24C33D1B-0330-408A-84FD-289CB4751912.jpg

    Awesome. How was the ride quality between the two since they have different shocks? Is the Sport a firmer ride?

    I had Bilstiens 5100s on old truck and yes it is a little sportier. I definitely handles better

    If your doing modest rock climbing you can have upgraded rear and front sway bars..even mudding its fine, I do it all the time...My truck lives on blacktop and dirt majority of times....BUT if I personally was doing extreme rocking maneuvers with my truck frequently I would never install rear sway bar...theirs always going to be noticeable improvements when upgrading sway bars...been installing/upgrading them on almost every vehicle I ever owned..I took very inexpensive but functional route with my 2015 sr5..I reused my stock front springs on used set of yellow blisteins(came off trd sport models 2014-2017?) people are practically buying the trucks and taking these yellow blisteins off immediately and selling for dirt cheap full set $40-$50(have 3 sets for backups)..these gave the truck extra lift and drives stiffer than the new trd sport 2018 trucks with red trd shocks...I drive the new trucks almost everyday and my truck.. I'm constantly comparing issues..I have my front trd sway bar now will be installing when I have time then give full write up of my complete suspension and lift..all under $500.. and thats including both front and rear trd sway bars, yellow blisteins struts/shocks, 3.5/1 lift and differential drop.

    I really like how the rear sway bar improved how the truck handles corners. What I don't like is how they designed it where it reduces the ground clearance by around almost 3". I have seen rear sway bars from other trucks/SUVs where it was level with the bottom part of the differential thus not affecting ground clearance at all.

    Some folks install them rotated 90degrees around the axle and it doesn’t hang down as much. Check out the rear sway bar threads and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

    So still no one has word on how we can get a hold of one of these TRD front sway bars? I was going to get the Sequoia ones but if this is that much heftier, I'd really like to get one.
