I am considering upgrading my anti-sway bar to the Skyjacker Rocklock system, does anyone run this system and is it worth it? Is there a better alternative?

Thanks,


Brian

The Currie antirock system is really popular. I am not running it, but if I was to choose a system, this would be it. Not too pricy either

Cheaper than the skyjacker I think and probably better quality.

If it is still a street driven rig...I would consider Tera Flex's dual rate S/T sway bar. It is a stiff torsion bar for road and soft bar for offroad. Best of both worlds it would seem.

"Although the JK's remotely-controlled swaybar disconnect is definitely a cool feature, I think JK owners will still want to consider upgrading to TeraFlex's new Dual Rate S/T Swaybar System. Jeep owners all know that factory swaybars are too stiff to allow enough suspension articulation for off-road use. But having no swaybar when off-road has its drawbacks, too. The S/T Swaybar System provides an easy system for switching between a stiff torsion bar for safe highway driving, and a softer torsion bar for better off-road performance without sacrificing the stability offered by a swaybar. Best off all, this product is also available in versions for Jeep TJs and YJs."

Never used it or seen it used...but something to consider maybe.

I plan on running the Currie Antirock also. Like Charlieboy said TJ's have there drawbacks when not running one. The currie lets you chose your stiffness by the holes in the arms. that way you can find a happy medium, between street and trail. IMO if you want the Skyjacker one, just save the money and take the stock one off when you go wheelin, then put it back on when you get home. only takes a few minutes. unless your winch is in the way. I dont have a winch yet, so i dont know.

I agree with the asian. Sway bars are only useful off road if you have significantly different spring rates and either your front or rear suspension is working too much.

Yeah, that is definitely a drawback (would be a dealbreaker for me:D). Just putting it out there for the OP to consider. My girl runs a TJ and we just use $2 tine pins for swaybar disconnects. Lot cheaper than most solutions. I personally would not pay for the Skyjacker one since it does nothing more than my $2 tine pins (or more expensive sway bar disconnects). It just does it slightly faster...
