Rear sway bar question?

I have a question on the rear sway bar. I am wondering what it actually does for the truck if not off roading. I very seldom go off roading in this truck. I do every now and then haul my side by side to the woods but other than that not much else, mainly highway driving. My question is, what does the rear sway bar do and would it be a benefit for my typical use or would I just be wasting my money? Thanks for any info on this.

 

Worth it! Especially for what you do. The truck is more planted in the turns. It should help the truck feel more stable towing as well. Do it!

 

I considered it my strongest upgrade. I was able to notice an instant reduction in rear roll, which made me feel like I was being thrown around, and throwing passengers around in the seats less. It's more important for On road then Off road in my opinion, and it's a pretty quick and simple install. They have one for the front as well, but I opted for rear only.

 

Best dollar for dollar mod I have done.

It's more for on road performance. Better handling in corners.

 

Ditto on both ^^

 

Yep!

OP, get a solid bar (not hollow). Strong like ox.

 

The rear trd is solid. But helwig is thicker.

 

Great and thanks for the replies. Sounds like this is a no brainer!!!!!!!

 

I have an ‘18 TRD Sport with both front and rear TRD sway bars and that pig hugs a turn like nobodies business. I had a ‘16 before that and these sways make the truck handle completely different in a great way.

 

Are the TRD sway bars solid or are they hollow?

 

Solid, it’s a great upgrade as all others have said.

 

Both my OEM front and aftermarket

$500 Hellwig 7700 Solid, Heat Treated Chromoly, 1-1/8" Rear Sway Bar

Hellwig 7700 are solid. Some are hollow. Some are solid. Some are more solid/thicker than others.

 

No brainer that leads to a boner!!!!

 

Do it.

Not an expensive mod and really helps on handling on turns/corners. I remember how impressed I was when taking a 270 turn on an exit ramp right after install. Took it at about 40, barely felt the roll and felt more in control!

 

Helwig is thicker and it ain't RED!

 

When got unto a tight tuning highway on ramp you really feel it working, my neighbour has a tundra with no sway bar and said there was no way he could do those turns at my speed.

 

This is a great addition!

 

I like my red TRD sway bar! My truck is white with black accents. I have TRD center caps with red lettering and the red TRD off-road on the bed. It all ties in. I’m a bit colorblind so the red really stands out to me and I like it. It pops.

 

Thanks for all the info. Just ordered a rear sway bar for my Tundra. Ordered it from sparksparts. Looking forward to it coming in and putting another mod. on!!!!

 

fixt that right up.

spiffy.

 

I wouldn't drive a pick-up truck without a rear sway bar.
My 07 has the TRD bar, my '02 has a Hellwig... my T100 also had a Hellwig.

 

Love my sway bar had to body color match it the red didn’t look good with my truck color..

 

Just do it.It makes the truck actually handle as compared to feeling like a boat in rough water.Best thing ive done to mine

 

I don't care for the red color, but you would have to be pretty
low and down close to the ground to see the bar on my RCSB.

 

This is the

$500 Hellwig 7700 Solid, Heat Treated Chromoly, 1-1/8" Rear Sway Bar

Hellwig 7700 which has 3 firmness settings. They recommend starting with the least firm and working your way up as you acclimate to having it on. The truck likes the middle setting very much.
