X vs Sport Taco Sway & Solution?

[akakrill]

Anyone know the specs on the sport access cabs suspension vs the X...Obviously the setup is different but is th X stiffer? My sport is on the soft side, plus my stock tires and higher center of gravity dont help with the sway in corners. I want a performance suspension...that rides good...I ruined my last 4x taco with a fabtech 6 inch lift....That ride Sucks! As I've read here not many performance options for the X springs...I want to lower and increase the performance...Wish me luck right?

XR's have an X braced frame and Bilstin shocks. Can anyone else add to this

That's pretty much it besides that the X's are lowered one inch, have firmer and shorter springs, have performance tires, front and rear stabilizer bars and the LSD.

I also remember seeing a Toyota cut-away of additional bracing at the cross-member

thicker swaybars, a couple of frame reinforcement brackets, stiffer front suspension. thats all I can think of

i believe all the access cabs (and mayb other cabs) come with front sway bars, only the X comes with rear sway bar

4x2 Sport models also have a mechanical LSD. The others have an electronic LSD where the brakes are applied for the same effect. The X's are also 1-inch lower than a base 4x2. The suspension is different so converting a sport model into a 4x4 X can be done, but will take some time.:top:

Is the XR front swaybar the same as the Sport Prerunner?

How about the FSB bushings---the Sport Prerunner bushings are very soft (deform under fingertip pressure)---polyurethane or soft rubber?

You can buy the x-brace and put it on your pre-runner which I'm planning on ordering. For the front and rear brace your looking at about $350. Plus you can get the sos drop kit for $449 which would lower it 1.5/3".

How is the brace installed, welded or bolted? and the sos kit works with prerunners? I'm interested

 

[RossK35]

Both braces bolt right into place just need to get the bolts for them but, the rear brace will need to have a bracket welded to both hangers. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about. As for the lowering kit its the same as the x-runner kit except for the back which requires the flipping of the leaf spring pin.
Front brace

Rear brace notice the bracket on the spring hanger

And how your looks now.

Hmmm... so yea on the sos website they do have instructions for lowering a prerunner or 4x4.

Is 329 for the front and rear braces through toyota?
I may put the braces on and then keep the drop kit for a later date:hmmmm2:
