Factory Sway Bar Rate

[JSparky]

I have a question for any of the tech guys out there. Do we have any idea of what rate the factory rear sway bar is (non kdss)? I'm mulling over doing a long travel sway bar. AllPro has a lot they developed with Currie but the feedback from the FJ Cruiser community says that even Currie's stiffest torsion bar is softer than Toyota's factory bar and that they'd wish for a firmer bar. You can go custom but it'd be nice to have an idea of where we're starting at with the factory bar. Thanks.

Honestly unless you're pulling at or near tow capacity, just pull it off. Haven't had mine on for years (front or rear) and I've had zero issues pulling 2,000ish pound a few thousand miles at a time, or driving in snow 8 months a year, whether its in the city or on the highway. Yes, it will feel a bit different at first, but you get used to the little bit of extra body roll pretty quickly

Thanks, ya I've already kinda gotten used to it and don't mind it so much and it's only been a day. My bigger concern is when loaded down offroad, I've been enough off camber situations in my Jeep to appreciate long travel sway bars versus disconnects/removing the bars. Totally get what you're saying though.

It's a bar that tries to change your mind to its way of thinking!
