Front "Great-Value" Antirock?

[Rubeyu]

$6.00 more and it might make somebody feel better about putting that POS on their Jeep.

I just bought the new style Anti rock from Rock Jock for my JK very nice improvements over the previous style.
Even the packaging it came in was first class.

what would be the weakest point in a chinesium antirock sway bar kit?? would it be the torsion bar? the hardness of the treads??? the links???

I've seen a few discussions about them from the cheap folks on FB. They report fairly rapid failures of the torsion bar.

 

[mrblaine]

It's been discussed before and it's a cheap chicom knockoff.

They used to be on Amazon and fleebay.

Wasn't there a version of that one that even had the Antirock stickers on the black arms?

I believe so, it's been a couple of years since I saw any listed on Amazon.

I think one seller had the orange arms and another had the black.

this might have been discussed but.... do anyone know this kind of kit for the front Antirock-kind of system? its 200 bucks (like 1/3 of Currie one) but not sure if this is only a chinese knock off or if Currie didn't patent the design or if the Maxpeedingrods is a legit store to buy stuff from....

You don't typically strike me as being daft so what about this just doesn't absolutely scream scam or cheap knock-off? BTW- can someone smarter than me explain why there is a tracker back to those two special folks?

Dang I just went and looked there are several Chicom knockoffs.

This is the one that used to have the AntiRock stickers, I think.

I think that is the same one and it still has the arms mounted backwards.

Is that because they are tracking sales so they collect commissions or that same crap they tried to pull on me where their installs droves sales much higher?

And it has the RockJock part number.

They just are such frauds, yet they keep popping up randomly. But for that specific link style, they're doing affiliate links for commissions.

I'll take one for the team and try it out and post a review. I've spent that much on plenty of crap before...

 

[John Cooper]

It seems ebay has made them stop mentioning Antirock or the rockjock part number.

Like most anything nowadays, it could be the patent expired and a direct copy.
That said even if both are from china (or not) and even if both are from the same foundry, factory. The QA and metallurgy could be vastly different. Through and induction hardened torque bar? These type questions.
But the best question if you’re a gambler, whats the return policy…

Yeah, but the problem is you aren't taking one for the team, you're supporting bullshit even with a single sale.

I clicked on one of their videos that came up on YouTube as a "similar video" that was something like TJ upgrades. I don't think I made it even 2 minutes. And that might be a stretch.

They still get the credit for the click and if you buy (usually these have a window the affiliate-ness affects for any purchases on the affiliated site, not just for the specific product).

I think the bullshit is charging 600 for a torsion bar and some hardware...

Then go ahead and make your own.


Edit: I’m completely serious. I’d love to see someone try to replicate an antirock/how much it would cost them. I imagine arms/hardware is the easy part. Getting the right torsion bar to spec, not so much.
