Trd sway bars:

Front has 3 levels of adjustment (3 hole bar)
Rear just has 1 level of adjustment ( 1 hole bar)

I have my front sway bar linked in the middle
Rear is only one setting. Not two holes like in the video.

See the video it's easy.

Thanks for the video. I guess I'll start with the middle setting, and adjust depending on the environment.

in this pic you can see the difference between TRD and sportline.

Rear clearly needs more settling in

Throw some sandbags in the back! It'll settle in much quicker


.... Or just get a fat friend to lay back there for an hour

Just clarifying but the TRD is the bottom one right? That looks closer to my height.

don't expect the sportlines to settle any. mine didn't. they are pretty much the same height they were when I installed them. the halos are cool

well thats because wheel fitment depends on ride height but I guess I could make a chart in regards to TRD springs
