Default Hellwig Anti-sway bar

Got mine from summitracing for $147 including s/h. Also, check out jcwhitney.com. They offer 10% off. Still around $145-150 though. Well worth the money. Only took me about 45 minutes to install.

Sorry for the very late responce. I have been away on a trip. The shop is off Atlanta Road in Smyrna, GA. I do not remember the shop name but can find out if needed. I can also find out the actual price. The last quote was alot cheaper then what I bought it for I will pass by today to find out.

Default Sway Bar

Hi - Thnx for the info

Also - One more thing ( And Pls note i am not too familiar with These Type of Mods) but is this just a rear Sway bar or is there a front one also or both. I have assumed all along that it is just one for the rear

I have a '04 DC SR5

thnx

No problems with a DC. Only took about an hour to install on mine with basic tools. The front already has a sway bar which is why you always see talk about a mod for the rear. If you want to do more for the front you can put in a thicker bar or some polyurethane bushings.

My truck corners much better now...go ahead and get one.

Is there a part number for front bar/polyurethane bushingsreplacement...and what type of tools needed, including the rear sway bar install.

JC whitney has them for $160 with free shipping over $125, but I cant find one for tundras on their site. Domestics only.

You can get the new bushings at Wheelers's Off-Road. I haven't done this myself, but there are quite a few members who have. Here are a couple of links with some more info...

Positives and negatives of (front end) Polyurethane bushings
Do I need to stiffen the front if Helwig installed?

As far as tools...IIRC all I used were wrenches & sockets. Get everything up where it needs to be, but leave everything loose so you can get it centered. Then tighten it all up. Here's a link with install instructions (with pics) from TS member tremo...

Question

With all the talk about the sway bar...it's definintely on my "to get" list. I have a 04 DC however, and from summit.com, all i see is one sway bar for all tundras, is this going to fit for my DC? Is there a specific one i should buy for the 04 DC? Thanks.
