Hey y'all.

Looks like I lost a sway bar end link on the front of my 2001 4runner.

I removed the sway bar on my 01 Tacoma after I lifted it and it seemed fine, considering I had 5100's and Eibach red coils. (I know this compensated for the roll.)

My question is, if I change the suspension out to the OME lift, will it also compensate for the sway bar? I'd rather just remove it all together and not have to replace the bushings and end links.

Thanks.

Remove it and see how it feels. If it sucks, put it back on and order a new link.

I remove the sway bar on my Tacoma and it was fine when I did the same thing on my 4Runner it was to floppy for my liking. I got the extended links and the front discos from Mstudt on 4r.org. So far so good.

I've been running without them on a 99 4Runner for a while. Just did this to a set of replacements that I'm thinking of swapping in:

Not sure how I feel about whether they'll be able to be cleaned up enough for my taste to swap in. I mangled the bushing sleeves when pressing out the old bushings and they're a bit rusty as well:
