dont removing the sway allow the body to be more level? because the bump stop still control the amount of travel.

the only reason i took my sway bar of fis because i ordered front shackels but they send me rears and i had already had it all apart adn i couldnt push my axle down because the sway bar was stoping it. and when i took it off it dropped enought to fit the shackles that didnt fit

Wait, did you find a new 4runner, I remember a while back you posted that you were looking for one, is this it? Looks pretty straight.

I can tell the difference when I drive too fast on mountain passes; so I slow down and save on gas and tickets.

I took mine off on my ifs and didnt feel a whole lot of difference. I just turn a little slower now.

Nice runner by the way, any mods planned?

power probably isnt the best word to use. but when i got it, it had 30x9.5's on it and i cant really tell the differnce but compared to my brothers 86 ext cab with 33in super swapers its a lot faster and i can go more places on the trails than him

What's going on with the fluid on the pass side?



Looks like gear oil coming out.
