Is there anyway to get some better flex out of my IFS on my 99 taco?

just until i have the resources to SAS, but until then, i want allitle more capability out of my front end

It should have a sway bar that you can disconnect, it will alow the suspension to travel up and down more freely.
The only thing is it will not handle as good on the highway, much more sloppy; but still safe.

how bad would it be on the highway? im typically a pretty caution driver when in my rig (when im on the road)

Should not be that bad, just take the time on a weekend to take it off, go drive around for a little while and see how it handles, my 4-runner didnt handle that much worse.

can somebody post up a pic of what i need to disconnect?

im pretty sure what i need to do

should i just take the sway bar out or just disconnect it

disconnect it and the drive around, if you dont liek the way it feels then reconnect it, if you think it feels fine, remove it the rest of the way

i have been running my truck without it since i lifted it over a year ago....

i would absolutely love to do an SAS, the only problem is money and all the little details, i really need to talk to somebody who has SAS'd a 99 tacoma so i can figure it all out
first.

Quick disco's on the front and rear sway bars should do it.

dude, if you are weary of tossing the swaybar, dont even think about a SAS

throw the sway bar in the trash, if it seems uncontrollable or sloppy to you DO NOT DO A SAS,

Flex = body roll

no way around it

my sisters cherokee was fine without one and she drives like a

Why not just take off one side. see what kind of flex you get. All you have to do is disconnect two bolts for each sice. :-D Tell me how it works, cuz I have an 01, and its not much different.

gabrul dude, just take the sway bar off, you'll be happy

im about to post a cheap trick to get about 1" of flex out of your stock leafs.stay tuned

gabriul · « **Reply #17 on:** Apr 23, 2006, 11:45:18 AM »

I really shouldn't drive without my sway bar...I still think my taco is a race car. :-D so I will stick with it, and just take out the link if needed more flex.

What do you guys think of the allpro Tacoma SAS kit, it uses coil overs and seems to be put together well with everything you need

I really wish i could go with something from marlin, but marlin doesnt really offer too much for the 99 tacoma.

Took the swaybar out completely, today, theres definitely an increase in performance offroad (really feels smoother threw the rough stuff), more flex too. and theres definitely an increase of bodyroll on and offroad, but as long as you remember your driving a lifted truck without a swaybar instead of a race car

, it should be fine.

:-D But I like my race truck..I havn't hurt it from driving to fast yet.
