Poly Bushings

I'm in the process of ordering all new suspension parts for my 3rd gen runner (120k miles) and have read a couple posts here and there about using poly bushings. I figured my mechanic buddy and I will be hackin around we might as well replace some bushings if need be. He mentioned that once the poly bushings go in I might lose a nice ride and get a harsh ride instead. Anyone have any experience with this? I have a stock sway bar...should I get a larger one? I'm ordering all the TRD Tundra parts for a 2.5" lift. Thanks.

Poly bushings should give you a better ride after you replace them. I replaced my swaybar bushings about a year ago on my Taco and the difference was night and day.

Energy Suspension makes great bushings....Do it for sure! What are you doing for the rear lift?

It will make the ride a bit tighter and stiffer, but not necessarily harsh. It will greatly improve handling and responsiveness.

Does Energy Suspension make a full kit for Tacos? I've been thinking of doing this as well.
