I think you can see a non-intentional picture of it in this thread:
https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/jk-talk-26/rumor-swayloc-jk-spied-30672/. It looks like both the swaybar system and the air shocks are made by the same company, off-road-only.
I too am curious as to exactly how they work, and how well...they seem like they should do something great considering they cost over 5 grand!

People who have them, and the money to buy them, and the money to ALSO buy a lift for them to work with, like a long arm RE 6" for example...really LOVE it.
Its an active suspension, meaning it can actually let you lean to the uphill side when off camber, raise the front to clear a larger rock, or the rear to hill climb, etc...as you control the up/down for all 4 corners...very cool if you're rich.

I looked into those... way too expensive. There is another company that mounts an air bag to the top of a spring. They don't have one for the JK yet... but it will be available soon. He quoted me about 200 per corner for the air bag kit to install on top of the factory spring. They will also have thier own springs for different starting heights and spring rates. The bag mounted to the stock spring would be about 4" lift min. to I believe 8" lifted up. They also sell a control system for it.. which makes it expensive... but I think I can rig it with mechanical valving.

I have driven a couple of JKs with bags and they work really well. The ride is really smooth and the active mode works great. My Brother has that system on his TJ and I was amazed how it did on the Rubicon trail. Also, you don't have to change any other suspension part on the jk besides shocks and remove the coils. The stock arms are fine. A funny side note is another jeep had broken his front end in a pile of rocks. My brother drove up to him and aired down and strapped his front bumper to the other jeeps front bumper. He then aired all the way up which lifted the broken jeep up enough that he was able to pull him out of the rock pile. Very cool....wipeout
