Sway bar (Rockequipment/Curie etc)

Curious anyone has one setup on their yota truggy or buggy or anything for that matter. Like feedback!

Ordered a Rockequipment kit tonight for my truggy rear, really lookn forward to seeing how it all works out.

stability.

They dont inhibit flex as much as a stock sway bar does.

Sick! What I've built is closer to a formula toy but still have a cab so its obviously a bit heavier. The cool thing about these sway bars is you can adjust how effective they are by moving the upper link ends closer or further away from the torsion bar. In other words shorten or lengthen the arms. Controlling on road drivability and offroad performance.

Set it for everyday mall crawling then just move two link ends for the wknd camping trip before you smash the trail
