Need advice on my suspension

Yes, you will.
Your disconnects were connected to the factory sway bar.
The anti-rock is designed to be softer so it can flex without disconnecting.


Again, exactly as it was designed.

I get that, I was expecting increased body roll from the antirock based off what I read from the forum. What I am unsure about is whether the "whipping around" sensation when I take turns is body roll or something else. I will inspect the metalcloak joints and if they turn out to be alright I'll deal with the roll.

IIRC from my Brit Roadster days, increasing front sway bar force increases under steer. Understeer is tendency for front end to resist turning and continue straight ahead to a point. Most cars are designed to have some under steer because it’s easier for the typical driver to handle. Less or no front understeer causes the driver to feel the rear end sliding out on turns. Doesn’t cause oversteer just makes it more obvious.

An Anti-Rock has less sway bar effect so you’ll feel like the rear end has more of a tendency to swing out. I’ve always preferred less under steer to be able to swing the rear end out in more fun driving. Reducing front sway bar force allows more body lean when cornering.

I’ve got a SwayLoc which gives the benefit of a stiff and minimal sway bar. Really haven’t noticed oversteer but then oversteer is built into my driving style. Find driving in the lesser setting like Anti-Rock ok. Body lean isn’t much of an issue but side winds are more apparent. With the SwayLok in the stiff position, Jeep handles like stock.

Thank you, very informative post. I think I'll also experiment with a stiffer setting on the antirock, currently it's in the middle position.

It's okay to try a stiffer setting, but it should still allow you to use all of your available travel.
That's the whole point of having an anti-rock.
