sway bar disconnects for late model taco

does anyone know of a company who makes sway bar disconnects for a '00 tacoma? i've searched high and low and cannot seem to find anything. i know front range fab in colo bought the 'nuke' rights but i dont know when they will start producing the disconnects. also, if you lift a taco (coils, not a drop bracket kit), do you need to get longer than stock links? i know this is true for j*eps and the sort, but im not sure about toys. thanks

If you can get me the center-center distance of the bushings that you want to end up with, I can make a set like this to fit:



Ideal distance places the sway bar ends parallel to the ground or back to the stock orientation (assuming the suspension has been lifted) and if there is a right angle fitting at one end, measure to the center of its rod end.

Contact me for more information if interested.

i assume the center-center distance is the distance between the channels in the red bushings in the picture? and it sounds like i'll need to wait until i get the lift on to see what distace it will be.

Correct and yes its best to set the sway back up like it was stock after the lift. So take note of the angle the sway bar ends sit at rest, then after the lift, measure the center to center length to place it in that same position. The additional length is about 1/2 the lift amount.
