Looking for feedback on JKUs running rear antirock style swaybars.

What brand, cost?

What type of improvement off road.....detriment on road?

Installation or maintenance considerations.

You get the idea.

Thanks for the feedback.

Bump. I'm interested too

 

I'm running the Currie Anti-Rock on my 2dr. I've had it for about two weeks and once the weather gets nicer I'll be installing the front. I really like the set up IMO the Jeep rides more predictably. I didn't realize how much the factory rear sway actually affected the body roll of the Jeep while on road (really stiff). Offroad especially through a section of molles last weekend the Jeep felt extremely stable the body roll was kept under control and predictable while maintaining the flex of the rear axle. Install is some what of a PITA because the directions from Currie aren't that good but you can pretty much figure everything out if your patient.

 

Thanks.

Do you mind me asking where you got it and what you paid?

I'm going with a rear locker only and will be looking for something like this to help keep my rear wheels in contact with the ground for max benefit.

Is it scary on the hwy?

 

I prefer the anti rock over the factory sway bar it drives predictable just a little softer in the cornering. I ordered it through Northridge for around $400.

 

I'm using the Currie rear AntiRock on my 2012 JKU Rubicon. It is stiffer than the stock swaybar because the bar is a larger diameter than the stock one, so it will make the Jeep corner flatter onroad and be more stable offroad.

I ran the stock swaybar until I installed RK's 3-link rear. The 3-link loosens up the rear because it gets rid of the bind with the control arms. RK recommends the AntiRock with their 3-link suspension. Adding the AntiRock after the 3-link install made my JKU corner about the same as stock with a 4-link configuration.

Since the AntiRock swaybar is mounted above the frame rails, it provides more clearance in the back where some people have suspension clearance issues from the stock swaybar hitting their shocks, trackbar, or brackets after a lift. With the stock swaybar gone, it is easier to move the muffler and have a place to install OBA, second battery, coilovers, etc... with the muffler and stock swaybar out of the way.

 

What setting do you have it on. I thought it was supposed to be way more squishy on road and let you flex way more off road?

 

There is no setting for the rear antirock. The swaybar is larger than the stock one, so it provides more stability. It doesn't have the different mounting points to attach the swaybar links on it like the front one has.

The front antirock has adjustability to dial in a balance between the front and rear. The front antirock is "more squishy" as you put it than the front factory swaybar while driving onroad, but the squishiness gives you more stability offroad because it still allows the front axle to articulate without having to be disconnected like is required with the front factory swaybar.

 

There is adjustability if you buy the universal anti rock. Thats the way I went. It comes with 21" arms though,,, but if you order it directly from Currie you can substitute 17" arms,,, and they have multiple mounting holes drilled so you can make the swaybar more or less stiff.
I didnt have any sway bars on my jeep after doing the coilover lift for several weeks and it was scary and all over the place. I put on the rear anti rock and it solved about 75% of my body roll problems,,, and I have it set soft. It still flexes fully as the suspension was designed. I highly recommend the anti rock. If I ever get around to moving my front shock reservoirs to the rear of the shock body, I will get another anti rock for my front!
