Whats everyone using for upgraded sway bars now? (1 Viewer)

[RFB]

BigAzz Whitelines front and rear with LCP swaybar dissconnects and just got the Delta panhard bracket from LCP also a 6 in lift and a rack/rtt/kclightbar give you some tippy up top. Im gonna try to change all that

 

[RFB]

What's considered better for sway bar links, bushings or the ones that look like tie rod ends? I would think the tie rod end style would allow more flex at some point.

Thanks

get a set from witsend he has landtanks, they hold up pretty well.

heres a pic of whiteline versus stock and landtank links its MUCH thicker and stiffer. (and yes, yes it is what she said)

I'm more curious if there is any difference between Blackhawk and Whiteline or whtiehawk and blackline this is getting confusing

Highly doubt it! Given the low volume of these things I won’t be surprised they all made at the same factory.

That whiteline sway bar looks exactly same as my TJM swaybar.

Those look like they are the same diameter.

They are not the same diameter, those pics above just aren't good pics for showing the difference. I attempted to use a new set of OEM rubber bushings with my black hawk sway bar and it was a big nope. Had to use the bushings that came with the bar to fit it.

Are you then forced into using poly?

Not sure what the material is...but it's harder than the OEM rubber.

Gotcha, could you throw a set of calipers on your upgraded bar and a stock one next time you get the chance?

Yeah no problem...my LX450 still has a stock bar so I can compare.

Thanks, I've seen those. I was wondering why Toyota changed link styles? Is stronger, work better or cheaper to manufacture? I have the Tie rod style, and don't want to change them unnecessarily.

yea but the whiteline is about 30% thicker or more than stock Ill caliper them tomorrow

I’m running almost the same setup (F/R Whitelines, LCP Discos, and LT rear links) and love it, still missing out on the Delta bracket though. Few questions:

1. Any sway bar drop blocks up front?
2. My front Whiteline runs only a couple mm from the control arm, have you had any contact issues?
3. Any tips on getting the front disconnects reconnected?? Even on completely level ground it’s a real pain with the thicker Whiteline..

My front sway with a 3” lift and 3” blocks makes contact on driveshaft at full droop and heavy articulation. I pulled it for now, until i can figure it out. Also, my bushings were SHOT, well one went missing, and toyota dealer forgot to give me my second one. Gotta get back over there.

If you are lifted like RFB you need swaybar drop blocks if you are disconnecting.
Always connect the passengers first and disconnect the drivers first.
If one struggles getting the pin in on the passengers side you can relocating the brake line brace will make roomier to get the pin in.
With the passengers side pin in having someone turn the wheel will aid in alignment if not 100% level.

Ok heres a dumb question for the crew...what's more important for the 80 series, front or rear swaybar or both?

If you mean which one to upgrade then the rear hands down. Much more bang per buck for on road feel. Stock front and upgraded rear is a pretty common set up.

Where's the best place to buy a White Line?
