    Hi everyone, looking to get a Trd rear sway bar for my 2017. I currently have a 3.5” rough country lift. I have been having a lot of issues towing my v nose aluminum steel dual axle enclosed trailer in the wind and I am wondering if it will reduce the side sway push from the wind while towing a trailer… also will it fit? Or do I have to upgrade the links? Just want some input before I spend $300. TIA

    Any lift is going to increase sway and nose dive when towing. With that being said, you're best option is probably running a weight distibution hitch w/adjustable anti-sway attachments. It's nice to be able to crank them down when do fwy/hwy traveling to really limit sway control; just know that you'll have to loosen them for tight turns, and I'd generally remove them all together for low speed travelling and especially when backing the trailer up.

    Something like this... not endorsing the brand or anything just the first video I found w/something similar to what I'm talking about.

    I don't believe the stock sway links will fit with your lift. I assume it's blocks under the leafs? Or do you have different shackles? If shackles, you might not need new links but I believe the Rough Country kits uses blocks since they are cheaper.

    Have you looked into Road Active Suspension (often just called RAS here on the forum)? It normally provides some lift so you might want to switch to a smaller block if you don't want the rear higher. Has a lot of the benefits of the rear sway with a lot of additional benefits. I switched from a rear sway to the RAS and love it soo much more. I don't know if it works with a 3.5" lift though.... @memario1214 may be able yo chime in
