Default On Road Handling Suspension Upgrades?

Hey Guys,

I want to get something that'll make my truck handle better. I was thinking about getting a Tundra before and I saw that they offered a TRD rear swaybar. Is there anything like that for our trucks? Maybe even coilovers?? Thanks.

Not that I've seen. The truck handles pretty good right now. I'm sure that something will be available soon. About all you can do right now is reduce the sidewall with bigger rims, but that will add rolling weight, not sure how much a trade off that would be.

I think I was just giving him an option.

I would hope that swaybars will be available eventually. That's something I will consider once they come to market.

Yeah, I really wanted to keep at least close to the stock height but that's the first thing I've seen for our trucks... I hope they come out with some swaybars and some coilovers for our trucks. Thanks for all the help.

Don't our trucks already have a swaybar? Are y'all talking about upgrading the swaybar?

After looking at the new sunspension setup on these trucks, the 4 (5) link rear end and sway bar are already superior to the Tundra with the TRD sway bar IMO. The way the length of the sway bar end links in the rear are long and those would also need to be upgraded. May be a while until someone can develope something better than what's already there.

Shirtaday, They do but I want a thicker more ridged swaybar so it will perform better.

I can't wait till they come out with some more parts for our trucks... GAH!
