what do you guys do with the rear sway bar when running LC coils?? do you need longer end links??

 

break them I broke mine and just scraped it

 

If you leave the stock endlinks with the LC rear, you'll end up snapping them at some point. You'll need longer ones to prevent them from breaking. I think you can order a set of front endlinks and use them in the rear. They are longer than the stock rears.

 

Relocation brackets for the sway bar itself to raise it up a few inches.

 

I haven't done anything with mine yet and so far, so good. But, I'm just waiting for the day when it breaks. When mine goes, I'll just take the sway bar off.

 

sonoransteel.com makes rear sway bar adjustment/relocation brackets. Call and see what he can do for you.
They would be easy to make if you have basic tools.

 

i don't steve doesn't sell the rear sway brackets seperately. i think it's one of those extra things that you get with his kits.

does anyone have a pic of the sonoransteel rear sway brackets??

 

That's why I said to call him. It wouldn't hurt to ask.

 

Fitted LC springs and +2 shocks a few weeks ago and removed the sway bar entirely thinking I was going to roll around corners etc. All the new compoonents actually make it feel less rolly (its a word!) around corners and will obviously improve the flex offroad. Take em off!
It is a declarable mod for insurance though

 

thanks rocket for the pic.

it looks like a fairly simple piece to fab up!!!

 

i have the longer lc coils and i just removed it in general cause it binded during the test drive before i even wheeled it. its not bad with out them (front or rear) my runner is my dd and i drive 100 miles a day round trip to work.

im thinking about ditching the rear sway, b/c it seems like no one uses it with the lc coils. this is also my daily driver and was thinking it might be a better idea to leave it on.

 

Hi, newbie here, actually I've been a member for about a year now but I'm more of a reader than a poster but I felt I had something to add to this thread.
I have had L/C coils on my truck for four and a half years with drop plates for the rear sway bar that that I made myself from 5"X4" 4mm steel, using the existing threaded holes in the chassis...........


Hope that helps someone.

I'll get back in my box now.

Is it just me, or does the top of that endlink look really bent?

 

i think i need to put the rear sway on, the back end feels squirrelly when hitting bumps.

 

I was just going to say that too. That setup isn't long for the world.


You might be having a shock issue if the rear end gets funky when hitting bumps. I had mine disconnected for a while and the only think I noticed was a very slight increase in leaning when taking a corner fast.

 

Yes, you are correct. It needs replacing really, just not gotten around to doing it yet.

 

I used the rear end links from a 2nd gen 4Runner. They are longer than the front 3rd gen and don't create any binding. Best part is that you can get them at a junkyard for cheap.

 

cool, thanks for the tip!!!!

 

you dont have lc coils....
