What Are the Best Overland Designs Heim-Joint Sway Bar Links

For overlanders and Tacoma enthusiasts, the Heim Joint Sway Bar End Links / 16-23 Tacoma / Overland Custom Design are a critical suspension upgrade. Designed specifically for 2016–2021 Toyota Tacoma models, these links maintain proper sway bar geometry after installing

Lifting your Tacoma changes the angles of the suspension system. Without extended, adjustable links, the sway bar may bind or overextend, reducing performance and potentially damaging components. TEQ Customs offers Overland Custom Design links that solve this issue with precise adjustability and heavy-duty construction built to handle off-road demands.

Built for Performance and Reliability

Many Tacoma owners who lift their trucks encounter problems with the stock sway bar end links. Standard links are often too short after a lift, which can cause binding, clunking noises, and reduced sway bar efficiency.

The Overland Custom Design Heim‑Joint End Links offer a solution with extended length and full adjustability. Built with high-strength materials and designed for rebuildability, these links provide long-term durability and reliable performance under demanding conditions.

Other reasons to choose these links include:

• Extended Length: Approximately 1" longer than OEM to safely accommodate lifted suspensions.
  

• Adjustable Design: Right- and left-hand threaded hex tubes allow precise length adjustment for optimal geometry.
  

• Durable Materials: FK heim joints, B7-grade studs, and polyurethane bushings are designed for extreme off-road conditions.
  

• Rebuildable: Components can be replaced individually, reducing long-term replacement costs.
  

• Optional Boots: Dust and mud boots protect the joints, extending the lifespan of your links.

Everything You Get with Your Links

When purchasing the Heim-Joint Sway Bar End Links, you will receive:

• Pair of left and right adjustable sway bar end links
  

• FK heim joint assemblies
  

• Black polyurethane bushings
  

• Grade-8 hardware
  

• Optional dust boots
  

• Adjustment instructions

These links are available in with boots and without boots options, allowing customization based on driving conditions and maintenance preferences.

Who Should Consider These Links

This product is specifically designed for Tacoma owners who have:

• Installed a suspension lift of 2–3 inches or more
  

• Experienced binding or reduced sway bar performance after lifting
  

• Built or are building an overland-ready vehicle requiring more articulation
  

• A desire for durable and rebuildable suspension components that can be serviced over time

Off-road enthusiasts, weekend trail riders, and overlanding purists will find these links particularly useful. They provide the strength, adjustability, and reliability needed for challenging terrains and long-term vehicle builds.

Key Features & Benefits

1. FK Heim Joints:  These joints provide superior articulation compared to rubber-bushed links. They allow the sway bar to move freely while maintaining control over suspension movement.
   

2. B7 Grade Studs (150,000 PSI):  The high-strength studs are capable of withstanding extreme tensile forces without bending or breaking. They ensure the links maintain integrity even under aggressive off-road conditions.
   

3. Adjustable Hex Tubes:  The right- and left-hand threads allow fine-tuning of the link length. This ensures correct suspension geometry and prevents binding after a lift.
   

4. Polyurethane Bushings:   Polyurethane bushings are resistant to heat, wear, and deformation. They last longer than traditional rubber and provide consistent performance over time.
   

5. Grade-8 Hardware:  The included bolts and nuts are designed to handle heavy loads and off-road vibrations. They provide a secure connection between the sway bar and suspension components.
   

6. Rebuildable Design:  Individual components, such as joints and bushings, can be replaced as they wear. This feature reduces long-term replacement costs and extends the overall lifespan of the links.
   

7. Optional Dust Boots:  Boots protect the heim joints from dirt, mud, and moisture. This minimizes wear and ensures smooth operation even in challenging environments.
   

8. 1" Longer Than OEM:  The additional length accommodates lifted suspensions, preventing overextension and stress on the sway bar. It allows for proper articulation and handling without compromising stability.
