The airLYNX for Toyota are adjustable sway bar end links that allow you to easily adjust the stiffness of your factory sway bar by pumping air into or out of the end links.
Once you have found your preferred pressure (0–300 PSI), you can either set it permanently – or adjust it depending on the terrain.
We have found that 150 PSI is suitable for the highway and 0 PSI is best for off-roading.
ADVANTAGES AND FEATURES OF airLYNX:
- Transform your stock sway bar into an adjustable sway bar (from stock to light damping)
- Offers you the benefit of a stock sway bar on the road and the performance of an off-road sway bar off-road.
- Improves control and traction off-road
The airLYNX is not a replacement for the kwikLYNX. Here are the main differences between the two:
airLYNX allows for approximately 50% sway bar disconnect, while the kwikLYNX allows for approximately 80% disconnect. A shorter disconnect travel is not a disadvantage – the “kwikLYNX” is better suited for rock crawling and trail use, where more articulation is required, while the “airLYNX” shines off-road at higher speeds, where control is crucial (but can also be used for rock crawling). Overall ride comfort is significantly improved with the “airLYNX”
kwikLYNX are pure disconnect devices: they are either connected or disconnected. The damping of the sway bar cannot be adjusted, but they offer you the additional articulation you need off-road. With the airLYNX, you can adjust the damping of the sway bar by simply pumping air into or out of the connecting links. More pressure = firmer ride – Less pressure = softer ride
For Toyota/Lexus models:
- 4Runner | 2003–2024 (4th and 5th Generation)
- Tacoma | 2005–2023 (2nd and 3rd Generation)
- FJ Cruiser | from 2007
- GX470 | 2003–2009 (KDSS must be removed)
- GX460 | from 2010 (KDSS must be removed)
- Toyota Hilux 2015–2025 (8th Generation)
TECHNICAL DATA:
Extended length: 9.3"
Stroke length: 2"
Diameter: 1.45"
Note: Once the locking collar is reinstalled to measure the pressure, the pressure will be lower than set.
airLYNX: How it works
- The Apex airLYNX system delays the engagement of the stock sway bar at a pressure of zero PSI – in the first 3" of wheel travel, they are completely disconnected – beyond the first 3" of wheel travel, they generate a reduced input force (or force) exerted by the sway bar.
- EXAMPLE:
- 4“ wheel travel = 25% sway bar engagement
- 5“ = 35% sway bar engagement
- 6“ = 45% sway bar engagement
- 7“ = 55% sway bar engagement
- 8“ = 65% sway bar engagement and so on.
- Even when maximum articulation is reached, the airLYNX at zero PSI does not allow for full engagement of the stock sway bar. The more air you put into the airLYNX, the earlier your sway bar will activate, giving you more control over how your vehicle reacts under different driving conditions.
- The delayed sway bar activation of the airLYNX also provides additional control, as the sway bar remains active in the system and exerts force in rough terrain and sharp corners. This control is essential with independent front suspension (IFS).
- This allows you to adjust the engagement force of your sway bar by simply increasing or decreasing the air in the connecting links.
- Higher air pressure = stronger sway bar effect up to full locking or a fully engaged sway bar
- Lower air pressure = less sway bar effect. Better off-road ride quality and overall better articulation.
