Have any MUDders tried aftermarket swaybars on their LX (or AHC-equipped LC)?
Quick googling shows there are a few varieties out there:
Nolathane: Looks like they make front and rear bars. Never heard of this brand
REAR:
FRONT:
Whiteline looks like they make a REAR bar, but couldn't find one sold in USD. Good aftermarket brand.
Achtuning (cute) Another brand I've never heard of, but looks like they have a front and rear:
REAR:

Just curious if anyone has tried these out. After fitting my 35's, the wife has complained of a wobbly ride at speed, and I've noticed quite a bit more body roll and steering input required compared to the stock-ish setup on there before. Of course, that's to be expected, but even in "sport" mode it feels a little sloppier than I would like. I thought this might be an easy way to bring the on-road handling back closer to stock. It might feasibly be easy enough to make swaybar disconnects if offroad performance is hampered too much.
What say ye, MUD? I guess other than "AHC is awesome and flawless and why would anyone ever want to mess with Toyota engineering perfection." I know you guys

REAR:
Nolathane REV011.0164 Rear Sway Bar 30mm; Fits Land Cruiser & LX570 200 Series | eBay
Nolathane's sway bars are principally designed to reduce body roll or sway. By reducing body roll, lateral loads are spread more evenly across the tyres thereby increasing cornering grip and improving outright performance. This Nolathane 30mm fixed position sway bar = more grip = better handling...
