Several months ago this question was posted û I believe it was from Esun127:

ôA few months ago, I asked if anyone's tested out just the front addco/stock rear and then both front and rear addcosà
So what's the conclusion? Just the front or front and rear?ö

Well, thanks to a lengthy delay in delivery of my rear Addco antisway bar I was able to drive around for a month and a half with the FRONT Addco and Stock rear bar. I installed the front bar at the beginning of October and just installed the rear Addco last week.

The bottom line is - adding the rear Addco bar definitely enhances the handling over just the front Addco with stock rear. The ride firms up just a little more with the rear bar. Two things were most impressive: Turning: turning quickly with Addco front and stock rear the rear tires would seem to be dragged around the corners û it was as though the rear couldnÆt keep up with the front. With the front and rear Addcos in place the 4Runner really does turn more like a sports car (or should I say a "true" Sport U.V). Turns are quick, smooth, quiet, level, non bouncy and I can do it faster. Definitely a noticeable difference than with just the front Addco. Second, traveling at highway speeds is sturdier. Road feel does firm up more but not to the point of being undesirable. Lane changes are snappier because now the rear really keeps up with the front of the truck. I feel even more in control with both Addco bars in place.

Overall, IÆm totally impressed with the enhanced feel that the rear bar gave me. Both bars might not be everybodyÆs cup of tea but for me itÆs sweet.

** Notes: IÆm 4X2 running 265/75/R16 Michelin Cross Terrains and Bilsteins all around. Lifted up front 1.5 inches w/ Cornfed spacers & lifted in rear 1.5 inches with Daystars.

Pics on the link below are old and donÆt show the lift or my newly painted silver skid plate! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Thanks for listening.

Cool Rob, where did you order your Addco bars?
how much? I now only have energy bushing for both front and rear stock bars and end links. It's ok. but last week I installed front Bilstein shocks, these shocks are 1" longer than stock Tokico(Tokico 9 months old, now completely bottom dead, <img border="0" alt="[Shiner]" title="" src="graemlins/shiner.gif" /> ), I did not replace the pp 1" springs, so I feel the front shock got more bouncing than before, amybody notice this(front and rear biltein shocks, stock springs), this is queer. Rob what do you use on that front bar end link.?

I got the Addco bars from Performance Products. I ordered them before the 15% off sale started so when they sent the front bar it was still $157.00. By the time the sale started they still had not sent the rear bar so I called and got them to reduce the cost by 15%. Ended up at around $100.00

On both bars I'm using the Energy Suspension bushings with the Zirc fittings so I can re-grease them w/o taking them off. Everything I did came from either Gadget's site or Jalaber's site.

For the front endlinks I swapped out the rubber stock bushing for the black endlink bushings that came with the "rear" bar. I left the rear endlink stock bushing in place.
