The airLYNX for Toyota are adjustable rate sway bar end links that give you the ability to adjust the rate of your factory sway bar by simply airing up or airing down the links.
Once you find your preferred pressure (0-300PSI) you can either set it and forget it - or dial it in per trail.
airLYNX BENEFITS and FEATURES:
- Turn your factory sway bar into an adjustable rate sway bar (stock rate to light rate)
- Gives you the benefit of a factory rate sway bar on-road and the performance of a trail rate sway bar off-road.
- Increase control and traction off-road
The airLYNX are not a replacement for the kwikLYNX. Here are the key differences between the two:
- airLYNX provide ~50% sway bar disconnect while the kwikLYNX provide ~80% sway bar disconnect. Less disconnect travel is not a bad thing--the kwikLYNX is better suited for rock crawling and trail use where more articulation is needed while the airLYNX will excel off-road in higher speed applications where control is critical (can also be used for rock crawling). Overall ride quality is dramatically improved with the airLYNX
- kwikLYNX are simply a disconnect, It is either connected or disconnected. You cannot tune the rate of the sway bar but they provide you the extra articulation that you need while on the trail. The airLYNX allow you to tune the rate of the sway bar simply airing up or airing down the links.
- More pressure = firmer feel -- Less pressure = softer feel

airLYNX: How it works
- The Apex airLYNX delay engagement to the stock sway bar when at zero PSI – they are fully disconnected for the first 3" of wheel travel – beyond the first 3” of wheel travel they produce a reduced rate of engagement (or force) that is being applied by the sway bar.
- FOR EXAMPLE:
- 4” wheel travel = 25% Sway Bar engagement
- 5” = 35% SB engagement
- 6” = 45% SB engagement
- 7” = 55% SB engagement
- 8” = 65% SB engagement and so on.
- Even when max articulation is reached the airLYNX are not fully engaging the full rate of the factory sway bar while at zero PSI. The more air you add to the airlynx the sooner your sway bar is engaged, giving you more control over how your vehicle responds in different driving conditions.
- The delayed sway bar engagement of the airLYNX also adds a level of control because the sway bar is still active in the system applying force in rough terrain and sharp cornering. This control is much needed with IFS.
- This allows you to tune the rate of engagement that your sway bar is producing by simply airing your links up or down.
- More air pressure = more sway bar engagement all the way to lock out or full sway bar engagement
- Less air pressure = less sway bar engagement. Better ride quality offroad and overall articulation.
