Outboard shocks and Antirock

Depends....
My anti-rock is forward of my axle since I'd stretched my rear axle 5"... But Blaine has posted more than one picture of a outboard and anti-rock..
Here's mine. But as I said I've seen it done with the anti-rock in the rear with outboard shocks too.
No. But they go where they fit without interfering with other things. If you can do an outboard, you can figure out where the axle mounts go.
Yes and I already have the anti-rock installed in the rear position per install instructions.
I'm not familiar with the install instructions.
A good reason to mount the AR in front of the rear axle is so that you won't have to fit the arms over both the coils and the shocks. It also helps to install the AR after the outboard once the coils and shocks are in place. Another reason to go in front is because the fuel tank limits where you can put it, especially if it has been raised up.
With the first generation AR, it wasn't uncommon to have to reshape the arms for clearance even with it mounted forward of the axle.
When I installed the AR I hadn't really thought about outboarding. Now that I'm looking at it there doesn't seem to be enough clearance for the AR to coexist back there.
Sometimes it is worth starting from scratch in order to get the best results.
I had to tweak my arms a little bit to clear everything once I was cycling my suspension.
I think you'll end up moving it to the front of the axle. But I think I've seen posts with it behind the axle too.... But my memory isn't always 100%...
In a stock wheelbase TJ, I prefer behind the axle. If the axle has been moved back, then go up front.
Yes , but it can be a game of millimeters !!

On my LJ, Antirock is mounted in front of the axle.
It seems like over time the fractional movements of that sway bar could rub through the filler neck and vent tube, no?
