Addco Sway Bars: reviews please
Anyone run Addco sway bars on a lifted 4Runner? Yes, I know it's somewhat counter productive but my 3rd Gen is basically a Mall Crawler. I'm swapping out my LC springs for 890's to make it more suitable on the highway. Been thinking about going with some Addco sway bars too.
I don't expect it to handle like my 540 did, I just want to feel more confident with it when switching lanes, etc. curious who has run these bars and what you thought about them over the stock sway bars. Thanks.

I am lifted a bit and run them. Seems like disconnects would get you the best of both. Most do greater than 90% of the miles on pavement so it makes sense to me.
The improvement is dramatic.
PS: Your collection of 4runners is impressive.

Thanks man. I not think I'll need disconnects though, it's not going to be wheeled.
What lift set up are you running? Thanks for replying, much appreciated.

I've been using them on my 1999 since 2000 and think they are a great addition.

I have both of those actually. I've had them on two others as well. Nice addition but not enough for my driving.

I should also mention, that they very much stand behind their products. I had a problem with some work I had done at a local garage and Addco stepped up and in my opinion went above and beyond.

You're the second person I've heard say that. It's encouraging.

Sorry to bring this back up PBR..... so what do you think?
I'm thinking about getting some addco sway bar too. Do you think they are worth the price of admission?

Ha. Can't say yet. They're still sitting down my basement brand new in the box. They will be finding their way onto the newest 3rd Gen I just bought though. Just waiting on a ton of other parts and the time to dig into her.
