Restore your suspension, ride quality, handling, and off road capability after lifting your Toyota by installing these custom made sway bar links!
Why?
Your Toyota's suspension was built to perform best at the stock level........
wait... hold up.... is that right?!!! Yeah, that's right! Although lifting or leveling it will increase clearance, it will mess with the geometry and articulation of your suspension. Take this photo for example.
This is a photo of a 4th gen 4Runner that has recently been lifted but still has its stock sway bar links. Originally, this link ran directly up and down, but once it was lifted, it pushed the chassis of the 4Runner up, and the wheels down. This new distance that we all usually strive for, has caused the link to become all cock-eyed.

See the difference?
So what are sway bars and sway bar links?
We're glad you asked! Basically, the sway bar keeps the vehicle from swaying. When going around a turn, the inside wheels lift from the ground while the outside wheels are pressed harder to the ground. Naturally, this causes the vehicle to lean to the outside of the turn. The sway bar (which connects the two wheels) also acts as a torsion spring, which means it resists twisting. When one of the wheels has lift or less pressure on it, the sway bar helps keep the vehicle level by lifting the opposite side. The sway bar links are what provide that upward or downward force to keep the vehicle level. This ultimately provides a smoother, more comfortable, and safer ride.
Keeping your OEM sway bar links after lifting or leveling your Toyota ultimately just messes this all up. The stock geometry and articulation are altered which makes for a lesser ride quality. So get yourself some Sway Bar Links and restore that ride!
What's the difference between these links and our Heim Joint Sway Bar Links?
Our Heim Joint Sway bar links have an openly exposed Heim Joint where these links have a fully enclosed ball joint. The enclosed joint prevents dirt and other debris from entering. Most OEM Sway Bar Links also use a ball joint, using a Sway Bar Link with a ball joint will help you return to that OEM ride quality.
