The front end will definitely settle a bit under the weight. Just a matter of how much.

No doubt about it.

Well I tried to install my differential drop Saturday night but the bolts were corroded and my Ryobi cordless impact wrench's 200 lb-ft weren't enough to break them. Rolled my rig into work today and used an air impact and made short work of the job. Dropped my CV angles back down nicely.

When I installed my Old Man Emu Torsion bars it took over a week for them to break in, I had to keep adjusting them back to the height I wanted. I guess what I am saying is that it could take awhile for your coil springs to break in depending on how far you drive. I'd take it down a super bumpy wash board road to see if you can expedite the process.

So, fellow Tundra drivers. Let's talk about sway bars. Anyone remove or disco theirs? I'm considering giving it a shot due to the reduced body roll I've experienced since installing the new springs.
I'm thinking a disco makes more sense but I suppose I could just unbolt it and see what happens.

I'd take it off. The increased body roll is worth the increased ease of articulation IMO. I didn't experience enough body roll to care when I took mine off. My T100 is the same width as your Tundra and it feels plenty stable, even with my topper and RTT on top!
This topic is hotly debated but most are able to deal with the body roll for more efficient articulation, not just off road but on road as well.

^That's the best way to describe it.
