    I am looking into purchasing a rear sway bar to help with towing for my super fast white 2018 4x4 CM ;) . I currently have a 6" ProComp lift and was wondering which rear sway bar will work best. I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes this type of stuff, but one thing I know for sure is, this forum is the right place to ask questions. It blows my mind how much information the folks on here can provide.

    I have a Hellwig also with a 6" lift. It has extended end links.

    The end links on the TRD sway bar are to short for a lifted truck plus its bright red, unless you like red, I don't.

    Seems to me like the TRD sway bars links would be too short for my truck because of the 6" lift. Looks like I'm gonna need to go with the Hellwig. I appreciate the responses from everyone.

    The trd sway bar fits lifted trucks, it just needs to be installed a little differently. Behind the rear axle rather than below it.

    I’m always amazed how fast the Toyota exhaust rusts.

    I would have preferred the thicker Hellwig, but I couldn't find the shorter end links required when you lower the rear end. SOS Performance had a complete TRD kit for lowered trucks, so that's what I went with. It's working out pretty well - no complaints, and the red paint is only visible if you put the truck on a lift or get down low enough to see it.
