What are the effects of using the sway bar off road? I do use the truck off road. Should I not be considering this mod for my truck?

Oooooh. Decreased articulation. I should have known....


And why, again, is decreased articulation a bad thing?

As far as I know, decreased articulation is not good if youre doing hardcore offroading. It decreases the chassis/frame flexibility thus making it harder to offroad under certain conditions. I personally dont do much of it, so for me its perfect.

decreased articulation is bad b/c you will lift a wheel earlier while off-road thereby reducing traction. While not a Taco you can look at my handling page to see the before and after effects of adding heavy duty sway bars. For someone who goes off-road infrequently the rear sway bar can be removed relatively quickly for that off-road trip. The front bar can use sway bar disconnects.

Has anyone else installed one of these?

I 'm having trouble locating the U bolts and brackets on the axel, the brake lines are in the way. A picture would be great!

Thanks- Jeff
