I had a pair of Sway-a-way t-bars on my old 89 4Runner (which I think is the very bar that Downey sells) and I'll tell you what I think. They HATED potholes big time unless you were going pretty fast. They would be good for jumping in fact would probably compliment a long travel kit very well. One thing I did like was once installed they did provide about 1 inch of lift without any cranking over where the stock bars were set. As far as the tire being heavier, that does sound kind of stupid to me. If I were to buy another set of aftermarket T-bars I think the only route I'd go would be OME because they aren't as thick as most aftermarket bars I've seen. I'm not sure how much of a difference 1-2mm would make in stiffness but I'd probably never go with SAW torsion bars again.
