Sway Bar Options for ON-ROAD

[PitbullRescuer]

I know this probably isn't a real popular mod for a lot of you but my 4Runner is really never off roaded. It has a very mild lift and 265/75 Duratracs on it really just for looks. Curious what options are out there for sway bars to keep it a little more neutral in the turns. I don't expect it to handle like my BMW e39 but I would like to feel a little more confident with it.

I know about the Addoco bars but haven't seen anything else. Please post up knowledge, thoughts, experiences, etc with this.

Thanks.

That's b/c ur sitting on top hats... I dont think that the sway bar is the issue, it those top hats. You could buy some $450 a piece sway-away coilover. Mine turns like a Porsche with them. It's is amazing my front arm stability.
But it does not make any econmical sense, since you never wheel.
My input did help at all, my bad. To tired to hold the delete buttom for 15sec.

Pitbull- Just by changing over to poly bushings mae a huge difference in my handling and from what I understand the Adco swaybars make an even more noticeable improvement. Because I wheel I only have the front sway bar on and have disconnects for that. Just by adding the poly bushings it made enough difference to feel comfortable with the one end being controlled. I have even thought of going with Adco front sway bar for the amount of miles I drive(avg 25-30k a year)

Twizzle, I never thought about that actually. Good point about the top hats. Think if I went to taller springs upfront and got rid of the hats it would help?

Just order poly bushings from Energy Suspension. I tookna good look under the truck today, both front and rear sway bar bushings are shot. They're literally falling out of the mounts. I'm hoping the poly bushings help, will update once I install them.

Also, what do you grease them with to keep them quiet?

Id use a lithium based grease for swaybar bushings.

I was under my truck the other day and noticed that my front swaybar bushings are squished out as well. Any idea what pricing is like on OEM rubber ones?

Also, any idea if 4runners and Surf's used the same diameter swaybars?

I am interested in what you think of them. Did you decide to keep the 4runner or sonething?
