    Has anyone ever installed TRD sway bars on a stock 2016 CM Limited 4X4 5.7. I would like to stabilize the ride, will be towing a Travel trailer on occasion and probably get airbags and a WDH as well. It does sway some on wide turns, overpasses etc. Is there any difficulty installing? problems with towing or without the trailer? Advantages of getting rear and front or will rear suffice. I do have some skid plates but it is not really set up for heavy duty offload. I apologize if this subject has already been covered, I searched and could not find other posts that addresses my situation. Recommendations, issues etc? Thanks for your suggestions.

    Sway bars are great if you're staying on the pavement most of the time. They will limit your articulation if going off-road though. Installation is super easy, just make sure you have a breaker bar.

    The installation is easy, just did mine today on my lunch break. I highly recommend a liberal application of anti-seize to all of the bolts that pass through the end-links. As 909engineer said you'll lose some articulation off-road, but disconnecting the swaybar is just a couple bolts if necessary.

    running boards , TRD sway bar and tundra 08 SR5 wheels. FRACmod, pop&lock and backup sensors installed .
    I love mine , unless you do some serious off roading you will be fine. I think its a must do mod for any tundra unless you're a rock crawler ....

    99 % of my driving is paved roads, I haul a small travel trailer but having a limited and not a TRD I was wondering if I can put the TRD sway bars on my limited and for I need to go front and rear....its 4x4 if that makes a difference. Excuse my stupidity, I'm not. Much of a mechanic. The only real off road is sand and an occasional gravel country roads, because I like to go beach fishing

    Yes it will fit your truck. The instructions that come with it are good, the video linked below is even better. I doubt you'll ever notice the lack of articulation. In my opinion start with the rear, it makes the most difference.

    Easy to install as everyone has said. I love mine I have the Hellwig rear sway and I believe it works great when towing.
