Found a new one for $140 plus $15 shipping which isn't bad. And some jack ass in my Jeep Club offered to sell me a used one after i made a post on facebook looking for one. He said make me an offer so i was like I'll give $50 and come pick it up. He came back and said " i searched the net and these are going for as much as $250.. so ill sell you this one for $125". I mean really... why are some jeep club guys like this... i told him i can get a new one for $140 so i offered him $70, and he said "go buy that one then". I'm like ok good luck selling you such highly in demand used sway bar for for $125. What a dick lol
If you wanna swap, I'll ship you mine. Would cover shipping for both, if you are interested in a 1:1 swap. I'd probably slap the EVO kit onto the thing to make it a manual disco.

Did you finally make the swap to the oem sway bar? Was it a straight bolt up?

Yeah found a used one for $50 off a 2017 JK. Bolted right up, just had to fit my manual disconnects. Glad I did it, gained a bunch of clearance.

LOL, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. I don't mind manually disconnecting when wheelin'......but every now and then when NOT wheelin' there will be an instance where I'd like to disconnect at the push of a button and snap a quick shot or something like that. I'd love a currie antirock, but don't think I'll ever feel like blowing the money on one.

I thought about the anitrock also, couldn't see myself forking out the $$$ for it. I may put one in the rear though eventually.
