Front Trd sway bar.....

One more question. I'm reusing the old set of hardware and bushing, right? All I received was just a bar.

 

Use an Allen key at the top of the tie bolt to hold and remove top nut. I removed everything together then separated it and reassembled it on the bench. Just replacing the bar.

 

Thanks

Thanks

 

Blah blah blah

 

I finished the installation yesterday. I put in around 100 miles today and so far I really like it. I noticed going on/off ramp is much better than before. It felt more planted and not leaning and floating like before especially when the road is a little rough during the turn. I think having both front and rear sway bars is a perfect combination. Money well spent in my opinion.

The installation was pretty simple. I made a how-to video in case some one want to get one and do a DIY.

Great review.
Can you test and see how your truck reacts when hitting a bump on the highway. Does it lean a little when hitting a bump or a patch on high speed?

 

Nope, I didnt feel any leaning when hitting a bump. It's definitely more stable than before. I'll report back after I put some more miles on it.

 

Job well done, and hats off. This is the type of video that gives DIY modr's the confidence to take that first step in turning that nut. IMO, perfect step by step directions to include using anti seize, and torgue specs. Don't get no better than that.

 

Thanks, I appreciate that.

 

Great job Thanks for posting. Keep those updates coming

 

Thanks. Will do.

 

Has anyone noticed a rougher ride when going over potholes or other rough road surfaces? Ride feels a bit more jarring than before, used to take potholes like a champ, now not so much.

 

I was wondering same. My front already stiffened a bit with my bumper, winch, and bar.

 

Anybody not happy w TRD sway bar wants to sell?

 

I drove about 50 miles today. I noticed that I could go into turns at a higher speed than before and not feeling like I'm going to lose control. I also noticed another improvement and that is the absence of the nose dive when I step on the brake. Does anyone else noticed that? I just want to confirm that it's not me. I did not feel any difference in harshness when driving on rough roads. I did not encounter any potholes so I can't comment on that.
If I notice any issues I'll let you all know otherwise I'm a happy camper.

 

I m looking for better handling than comfy ride so truck doesn’t swirl on high speed bumps. Hope TRD bar helps a little.

 

The same here. I was skeptical about any improvement I would get from the front sway bar. Needless to say it exceeded my expectation. FWIW, yesterday a friend rode in my truck for the first time. She said the ride was smooth and comfortable.

 

Not gonna lie I think your video may have convinced me to send @Roman some money...

 

You wont be disappointed.

 

I wonder if at all this will affect my future beach days =P I can't imagine that it will... I dont plan on doing any EXTREME off roading anytime soon... Living in Florida does not offer that much... maybe Mudding/Beach but thats about it lol

 

I dun doods it... @Roman gimme gimme!!! =)

 

I think you should be OK on the beach but to rock climbing with it is another story.

 

Ya I dont see myself doing any rock climbing anytime soon... haha more likely to go to the beach... we have a baby on the way and im sure the wife will want to go... which im ok with =)

 

Thanks for the video! Just inspired me to finally install mine! Can't wait to take some corners extra hard.

 

That’s wonderful. Congrats

 

You’re welcome. How long have you gotten it?

 

Thanks! Just cant let the wife know I ordered it... haha... Shes going to be like we need to save money for the baby lol

 

She’s going to ask what’s that big red bar you install? Good luck with that
