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.

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.

So from what I've seen with the guys I have wheeled with locally with the Anti-Rock bars, I never noticed them going wheels in the air in areas where others are staying solid. I was asking if any of you all had seen the Anti-Rock abviously limiting travel compared to your buddies with disconnects. So far, I've not seen that happen with the Currie, so my opinion is that the Teraflex is a sub-par performing system and at a price that is 50% higher than the Currie Anti-Rock.

The fellow with limited travel was NOT using the Anti-Rock, he had the Teraflex Dual Rate system. It is a sway bar inside of a sway bar. The driver gets out, and rotates a locking mechanism that frees the larger sway bar (torsion bars with splined ends, just like the Anti-Rock), and you wheel with only the smaller diameter inner bar still attached. But his Jeep absolutely did not have the same freedom of movement as the disconnected Jeeps.

Okay so I wanted to chime in on this since it was brought up. As I mentioned before, I DO have the AntiRock and I will say that I have issues with my front end wanting to lift. I end up in scenario is where one of my front tires wants to stay airborne. I used to have the edisco since I have a rubicon and I definitely used to have more articulation. That being said, I've not been held back in anyway because of the AR. It's just different. And maybe it's more than just the AR itself but also the combo of shocks and springs. So just another data point... it's not just the Teraflex that does that. Happens to me too with the AR.
