That's what I'm mainly concerned with.

I'm on my 5th set of links on the front, and third out back. Not sure if my wear is an exception.

Mostly curious if anyone has replaced them with another brand and had better longevity results on a dd. This is the primary reason I said running this setup on a dd seemed questionable.

Not surprisingly, it's good to see I was wrong in the fact that this item works well on a dd. All in the same, wish they would choose a better design for the adjustable links as what they supply is a bit of all thread and some dinky tie rod ends.

The only disconnects that have even lasted for me are the teraflex. Whether they work with the antirock is unlikely. They would probably mount up to the top but would still require the post on the bottom. They do have a sleeve that can be pressed in for a bolt on the bottom for those running the electronic sway bar.

Thanks for the reply.

 

what kind of disconnects are you guys running?
I had a pair of JKS quicker disconnects on my XJ for well over 100k miles and never wore the bushings out.
Which is the reason I put a set on my JK.

As mentioned above, spring and shock package will have a large effect on how the AR feels under your rig. Additionally, things like this are subjective. My rig has soft springs and shocks, but I would not hesitate to run AR's front and rear. I also don't look to my Jeep to have "crisp" handling and am quite ok with the added body roll/lean an AR would allow. I'm certain it would ride more cushy (better in my book) with the AR.
With all the electrical nannies on these rigs, a little extra body roll is not something I'd loose sleep over dreaming of "what-if emergency situations". I'm not sure how many have had the system trigger, but disconnected off road and playing at speed on gravel roads and down through washes I can tell you it triggers very early, long before the rig is anywhere near out of shape.
When the funds allow, I'll run them, until then I'll make do with disco's and the stock rear bar.

If you want your Jeep to be a sports car (you know, crisp, tight, responsive) the AR will take away from that. It will not destroy it or make it unsafe.
If you want your Jeep to be just that, and find the handling characteristics of a late 70's full size sedan just fine, then I suspect the AR will be up your alley.

 

I've got front and rear on my 2door. I did the 4 door rear as it is a little stiffer. Actually stiffer than the stock in the rear.

No issues. Daily driver 20k miles per year. 34 mile commute in Chicago traffic.

Do it! One of my favorite upgrades! Hit the trail air down and go! Get off the trail, air up and go! Hated jacking with disconnects!!

As noted previously, disconnecting was not something I wanted to worry about. So, the AR was my first choice when I did my build. I changed everything underneath at the same time. When other jeepers drive Max they think he wanders too much. But, I find that a lighter touch on the steering wheel works just fine since he's a 2 door we expect more wandering than in the JKU. Maybe we are just more used to it since Max is our 4th Jeep (2-CJ7, 1-TJ). Would not change the set-up I have it works great on and off road.

 

My AR ends and arms have held up well they don't make any noise on the road.

 

I'm running the rear AR currently and waiting for the high dollar factory junk one to die and then I'll likely be running front and rear. No issues and I drive the shit out of my Jeep on and offroad. It's on 40's and I ran to Moab and back this year without issue, other than the V6 not being an LS.

 

Question,
This weekend I witnessed a JK with the Teraflex dual rate front sway bar. It absolutely limited his articulation compared to the others with disconnects. So based on that observation, I'll never own that set up. I'm not talking barely limited, or hard to notice. What I saw was plane as day, where every one else walked the ruts he was tire in the air.

Does the Currie Anti-Rock front sway bar also noticeably limit travel? I saw the RTI numbers that one of you listed earlier, but I'm honestly not familiar with an RTI rating intimately enough to place judgements on what the numbers are trying to tell me.

 

I'm not sure what other type of rod end you would prefer to use or what you thinking out there? If you have actually ever seen the rod ends they use you will see that they are not dinky $5 rod ends. I'm currently running my teraflex disconnects with my AR on the front so I still have that option if I wanted to disconnect and works great.

 

No limit of travel at all. Are you sure that something else wasn't holding him back? Control arms, brake lines, etc? I have a grinds that gets 14" of travel with his anti rock. I can't imaging the Teraflex limits any if at all! I'm sure something else was causing it.

Just to back you up on this one I often throw my jku hard through corners and the stability control kicks in way way way before you even get a chance to do anything silly.
