I installed a raptor swaybar awhile back from amazon, which is basically the same as an Anti-rock swaybar. From all the reviews and experience it seems to be the same quality for a fraction of the price. After tax it was under 400 with aluminum mounting brackets. I do not know the current price for what it is gong for but something to consider if you don'twant to drop 650!
I have no experience with that product but I can say that it looks to me like someone took a product and tried to rip off the original. I don’t like supporting that. I recently learned that my bump stops (dv8) is a ripoff of locked off-road. I hate that I gave dv8 my money for a product design that they stole.
Ive also learned the hard way multiple times that it’s better to “buy once, cry once”. For the most part, I’ve put good quality parts on my Jeep. The cheaper parts I’ve put on have failed me in some way and have been replaced with the better parts.
Jeepliam, I too have these raptor sway bars installed on my 2013 JKU. I have them front and rear. I had an XJ Cherokee before this JKU which had antirock sway bars front and rear . knowing these are two different machines (XJ vs JKU) - the raptor sway bars feel no different than the antirock set up that was on my XJ. I do not disconnect during offroad driving and have not experienced any negative results from using these sway bars. Articulation does not appear to be hampered in any way by use of these raptor sway bars. So far, the Raptor sway bars have performed as expected.
Hard to say if this is a direct measurement copy of the Anti-Rock brand. A bit like saying that RE springs are a copy of Synergy or MC - yeah they are springs but these are the days of competition. Basically we do not know if that Chinese engineering firm purchased an Anti-Rock then copied it literally diemension for dimension. Perhaps they are just a cheaper competitor. Personally I would support AR just like I support MC.
I was 22 when the pandemic hit, i lost my job. I was in college in a different state; sorry im tryna help someone who doesnt have the funds. It is a nice swaybar for less that 400 than stands up to antirock.

No reason to apologize, especially about starting the thread and letting people know your opinion about the product. I don't disagree with a lot of the commentary above, but at the end of the day there's only 1 person whose opinion matters in the purchase. If you needed this functionality you must be out using the jeep for some fun, and it's good to see younger generations getting out like that.
