    Ok, so I installed my 6112's and 5160's and are loving the difference in handling and feel of my Tundra. Took a road trip to see the kids/g-kids from LA to AL and back. About 1500 miles, and not a peep out of my suspension, so I am satisfied. My next mod is the TRD rear sway bar. I don't do a lot of off roading, only to the deer camp and back, so an old oilfield gravel road. Some engaging of 4WD during deer season due to condition of the road, or a bad boat ramp. My question is when I install the sway bar, how much is this going to affect the rear shock performance? I see the posts where the overlanders and serious off roaders pull their's off or disconnect due to limited articulation. What's going to be my downside??

    I have a Pro. I installed the rear sway bar because the pro leans a lot in the corners. It fixed that 100%, but it took away some of the smoothness that makes a pro what it is.

    It wasn't brutal, but the difference was there.
    Minor bumps were a little more jarring. In the end I took it off because I missed the buttery smooth ride.

    Your downside in street driving is any bump you hit with one tire will be transferred over to the other side of the suspension somewhat, making that bump a little more jarring than it would have been before.
