Looking to buy sway bar
Hello anyone selling a rear sway bar? i have read and somewhere saw that the first gen TRD sway bars brake and the second gen TRD are beefier and hold up just fine but hotchkis is the best option? any input would be greatly appreciated, also how can you tell if its a 1st gen or 2nd gen TRD rear sway bar and i don't mean for the 1st gen 2nd gen XB, im talking about xb2 1st and 2nd gen TRD rear sway bars guess there was a 1st and second batch made, thanks again.

I wouldn't even bother with the TRD one. For not much more money you can find the Hotchkis front and rear set so you get upgrade bars at both ends. Be prepared for an involved install on the front one, it requires dropping the rear of the subframe to remove the stock front sway and put the new one in. I had a set for years and loved it. Would still be running it if it weren't for the fact that with my drop beam in the rear it put the ends just over an inch off the ground.

Hotchkis Sport Suspension Sport Anti-Roll Bars
$260 shipped for the whole kit (front and rear). You can avoid dropping the subframe to do the front, but you have to remove the oil pan (which is probably even more of a pain).
The TRD bar is crap. The old one breaks and the new one flexes so much that it might as well not even be there.
