[amay3]

@amay3 any update on your progress?

Quick summary: No response from TJM AU. Whiteline USA canceled my order and did not respond to e-mails asking why. The Whiteline BTR46 is available from the UK (see EBay link above). Cost is around $325 with shipping. I also contacted SuperPro Suspensions - USA distributor of another AU sway bar. Their bar is around $350 with shipping. Contact info:

Personally, I ordered the Landtank HD sway bar links and new OEM bushings/collars for the existing sway bar. Going to live with it for a bit.

I run the HD rear Blackhawk swaybar. Was a very nice improvement over the stock one. This is the same one from 4xOverlandUSA that @mryanangel mentioned earlier in the thread that is meant for use with the Slinky suspension. My truck has been much flatter in corners and the roll steer in the rear end is gone. Flex was not affected.

Figured I could add a few more photos of the 4xOverland/Blackhawk swaybar and the extra bits.

Ya ok. According to the ramp I used to check clearance travel didn’t change.
I’ll clarify the roll steer comment. “Gone” isn’t technically accurate I suppose if we’re getting nit-picky. But less body roll = less roll steer. Any roll steer that’s present isn’t noticeable.

well the sale never went through so ordered a Black Hawk bar instead.

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

How do you like the black hawk bar? Do you recall the diameter?

 

[landtank]

haven't has a chance to instakl it yet. Getting the truck ready for Cruise Moab so will know better in a few weeks.

I have a particularly heavy 80 and am running the black hawk bar...it definately makes cornering at speed much more comfortable. I am happy with it.

Looking for a rear bar for an upcoming trip.. Endless Horizon states 6-10 weeks backorder on Blackhawk bar. Appears that the Whiteline is available on their website and "in stock". Anyone order a Whiteline recently through the US website?

So what's the difference in diameters of that Blackhawk sway bar and OE? They look pretty close.

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

black one might be more diameter (more girth)

 

[LandCruiserPhil]

Whiteline BTR46X is 104% more torsional than stock per there web site
