Nope. Haven't had sway bars pretty much since I put the first lift on. 5100s and 885s, then icons with 650s, then 700s, now ads with 700s.



They do yes. If anything he can leave the rear one on for the wife, but the PCK damned near makes it feel like the rear one is on even when it's not.
I'll drive it with and without and then decide.

I run the sway bar with mstut end links. I drive to much on road to risk it, have had the front sway bar off before and it’s not bad. I read also that without sway bars, other parts wear out faster and those lbjs are not cheap. The pck made a big change in how my truck drives on and off road. I completely agree that you should fiddle around with how you like it, cause you drive it. Enjoy

I will take them off and give it a go. My Tacoma wasn't so bad but I can't have the wife drive the t4r and be rolling all over the place.
Yeah leaf sprung vehicles don’t need sway bars as much since the weight is carried way further outboard than most coiled vehicles. The sway bar helps a lot, but you need longer end links or it’ll ride like shit. I just cut the stock ones and sleeved & extended them. Made a big difference. Or you can get 2nd gen end links, since they are about an inch longer than 3rd gen stock links. I used to disconnect one side when I would go wheeling.

I have more of a road car/race car background, but I'm hoping that PCK helps with more confidence/speed where it matters for you guys.
After I lifted my 4runner I stopped talking the off ramps fast because I didn’t like how the rear end would react. After the PCK I drive it faster than I should but it is very predictable.

Is it my birthday or something? gosh.

Happy PCK Day.

It completely returns the rig to stock handling after a lift. My ass end is way up in the air with the 861's. I used to hop around like crazy on washboards. The ass end would skip around so much it was truly unsafe. Then I welded the PCK on and all that changed. Returning the pan hard to factory geometry was brilliant man. I feel sorry for all the suckers that bought adjustable pan hard bars before you dropped the PCK bomb. lol

My birthday is in February. In case you wanna finish those link reinforcements :anon:

Also I should see if the forum is willing to cooperate with me tonight and move these pck posts to the right spot.
