    Greetings,
    If you were going to install one sway bar (TRD), would you go with the front or rear? I don't road race but have occasion to drive curvy mountain roads pulling a light trailer (1500#). I plan to do both but cash flow only allows for one at present.
    Regards,
    BC

    Rear, the factory front bar is more than able to handle just about anything.

    The rear. You’ll see more benefits of adding a sway bar to a spot where you currently don’t have one at all.

    +1 on the rear. The truck is a straight up pleasure to drive with it.

    I have the TRD front and rear.sway bars and the ride is a bit stiffer. No more body roll.

    For those of you who tow, what is your experience with adding the rear sway bar. Can you feel the difference when towing? Does it reduce truck sway? I tow a dual axle trailer that usually has some significant weight to it (Jeep, Tractor or firewood) and would appreciate real world experience like before and after.

    Both here as well, started with just the rear and recently added front. I like it - Less Body roll. I have a 2015 SR5 with TRD Off road package and the deciding factor for me was I test drove a new TRD Sport and liked how it felt. I'm a veteran racer so take my opinion for what its worth.

    Installed the rear swaybar last week and now it feels like a truck not a squishy luxury car. Oh and pulling a trailer feels like you are more in control.

    Yes. Best money spent on any mod for the Tundra.

    I read too many people say the front TRD bar doesn't give you much at all over stock. Rear definitely. Just wish you could lock and unlock it.
