Do you have swaybar disconnects on the rear axle?

[DuvelSteve]

Hi all,
I am interested to install a SwayLoc or AntiRock at some point, but I currently use sway bar disconnects on the the front axle.
Do you have swaybar disconnects on the rear axle? How about AntiRock users, did you install an AntiRock on the rear?
Do you disconnect both sides of the sway bar? Is this for interference issues when articulating? That question is more of an academic that I think about while crawling around in the dirt to reconnect both sides.

I run the Antirock in the front and stock sway bar in the rear. I have never disconnected the rear.

The only folks I know running antirocks in the rear are on Ori's. Anyone that offroad a TJ should just ditch the rear sway bars

Those of us with ARs, SLs, factory rears, etc (and know what we are doing) leave them connected at all times. Pay no attention to joe.

Yes

Still no.

Yes

Big no.

Can say no all ya want. No one around here really runs it on offroad rigs even with antirock fronts. Sure you get a little body roll but it's an offroad rig, not a track car. Just drive it as such.

Feel free to explain your point instead of just saying no and stating where I'm from....

Stock rear swaybar is completely fine and you dont need to/want to disconnect it for wheeling out here. Maybe gravity is different in Connecticut but out here you want it connected.

Build for your terrain and for your usage. There comes a point where sway bars on both ends become a significant benefit where stability and control matter. Until then, you don't know what you don't know.

Must be! Everyone round here will tell ya to ditch it. Then again, much different wheeling out in southern california. But even on one shock doing the rubicon trail wasnt that bad.

you did the rubicon with only 1 shock? What happened to the other 3? Did your green springs fall out?

Sorry, just one rear shock. Slightly bouncy but never too off balance

And why would the connecticut crew tell us to ditch the sway bars?

That just tells us more about what the Rubicon Trail really is.

 

[mrblaine]

Yes

No, that would be as dumb as the recommendation to do so.

 

[joe98tj]

It's just not needed for the kinda wheeling you're doing around here With a coil spring setup. The more flex seems to beneficial. Hard stuff you can get away without it. Like I said before though, the folks geared for wild are running antirocks in the rear.
