Here is a perspective of a user: I like them. I took my Rubicon sway bar off and put a Currie on. I had bent my front Rubi sway links a couple times, so decided to try something different.

Pro's: Always there, no buttons, no worry about speed threshold offroad. I've driven to Moab with them a few times, no problem. They are easy to adjust.

Con's: More sway on the freeway than with the Rubi sway. Some people won't like the amount of sway on the road. It is still drivable and all, but it does say more. I did bend a rear currie sway link once. Not exactly sure what happened. Replaced it, hasn't happened since.

Botton line: If you can tolerate a little more sway on the road, and want convenience, and what seems to be tougher equipment, then go for it. If road sway matters, don't

I still run mine on the front, but had to yank the rears. The real con to me is they don't fit if you have a rear bumper that uses the threaded holes about 6-8" in front of the end of the frame for mounting. I'm on my second bumper now and the brackets for the sway bar won't work with either. One of these days I'm gong to look into modifying those brackets a bit so I can re-install them. Those Curries are fantastic if you spend most of your time on dirt roads. They were very easy for me to get used to on the pavement as well.

I love mine... I had them installed at the same time as my long arm upgrade kit from teraflex... and run them with the AEV 3.5 inch premium kit... so maybe it's a combo of high steer and long control arms, but I honestly couldn't notice a difference in on road sway. And off road they don't hold you up either. It's nice when everyone's airing down and disconnecting (and especially reconnecting with mud all over underneath) to not be having to add that extra step. Plus, if you see something that looks fun on the side of the road, or just driving around the city (decorative rocks in parking lots, for instance) you can flex out and scratch the itch without having to stop and do anything. (not that I condone such behavior... I'm sure cops wouldn't approve)

I have the rear Anti Rock Sway Bar. You describing how they are not compatible with after market bumpers has me concerned.
I'm ordering a bumper soon and I wouldn't want to ditch the sway bar.
The sway bar works great. I couldn't notice a huge difference on road.
I also installed their 4" lift. So in combination with the lift and sway bar set up It's required to run a wheel with 4.5" backspace
or else the link will rub the tire at a good flex.

Yep didn't work with the Rock Hard, but are much closer to working with the Finishline West. I need to put the grinder on the swaybar brackets and make them straight up and down on the front side. I definitely want to get the rear set back on. I'd take pictures, but I'm feeling lazy plus it's pretty cold outside.
