I'll have to research how it effects driving and handling. 95% of the time I will be on the road so it will probably be worth the minimal upgrade price. And I am very handy (used to be a helicopter mechanic in the military).
I wouldn't say night and day different but definitely feel a difference around 40-50 mph on a turn... its worth a upgrade if you like cornering at high speed
Subscribed... I have been thinking about this mod for a while. I don't do any off roading, rock crawling or high speed cornering (generally ). I know... pretty boring... My typical daily commute is about 32 miles, 75% highway / 25% in town. I do tow a medium sized pop up camper occasionally. Is this something that would be a good investment for me based on the information I provided? Links to OEM part numbers and best prices would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Will you still feel the benefits with a leveled setup? 3" spacer up front and +2 shackles out back? Certainly not racing in the truck but a tighter ride would be nice.

I think it is easily the best mod I have done to my rock warrior. The handling is day and night different when going around curves. Just driving around you will notice it a little but if you do any driving on curvy roads etc over 30mph you will likely see a huge improvement in handling. It is really impressive when taking curves at 40-50 it's like I'm driving a car and not a huge truck as far as handling goes. The installation doesn't require ramps or a lift I did mine in my driveway with no issue. Definitely think it should be a stock component
Can't find it right now but another thread also recommended a Sequoia front sway bar matched with the TRD rear. Anyone of your have that? Is the Sequoia part still available? Can you get any of this from a local dealer or is that cost prohibitive?

You can see the clean bar end in this one..along with the very subtle drop spindle..
TRD Sway Bar
Before the Drop
After the Tundra Racing Drop was installed the Rear sway bar got shorter end links and got tucked up closer to the frame.. Not sure where a picture of that is though...
Not giving you a hard time but in your picture the original sway bar looks to be about the same diameter as the Sequoia version. Is there a difference in diameter or is it the mounting attachment that makes a difference?
Also, I'm not familiar with the mentioned "Tundra Racing Drop". Could that be applied just to the rear to level the forward tilt all these trucks seem to have?
Thanks for your time,
Dave
