Looking for thoughts and opinions on the Antirock

No need for either on 31's. If you get to 33's or more then I'd think about AR front. Rear is related to other things like a mid-arm.

It has more to do with fitment after a non factory axle or just the desire for a rear sway bar that works a little better than factory. The rear Antirock existed long before any mid arm kits were around.

I cant wait to put in a non factory axle to go with my rear antirock!
 
I ordered a used rear sway bar off eBay since most the feedback agreed and my TJ didn’t have one when I got it. So much information out there on front sway bars but not as much on rears. I’ll be installing it tomorrow when it arrives but this morning I had YouTube suggest a video that makes a great argument for having one. Figured I’d share it since it’s really straight forward.

Nice video!

Not sure what that means but if you swap in an 8.8, Dana 60, or HP 60, you have to mount the stock swaybar upside down which puts the part that bends under the pumpkin in a higher risk configuration where it gets beat to crap by the rocks. If you try to run it over, then at full droop the bend comes back and tries to eat up any important bits like vent lines, air lines, and electrical to lockers if you can even make it fit.

To the forum member who was asking it meant that he didn’t have a setup that merited a rear AR at this time.

Was that me or Josh?
Don Ashcroft.

Now, Don does have a Kenwood 500W amp, so if it’s mounted outside the tub in a peculiar position, it may merit a rear AR, but personally, I’d just move the amp! 🤣

None of which has anything to do with a mid arm or any arm.
 
Are you bored Josh?
You need to lay off the know it all shit until you quit saying dumb things like a sway bar design is dependent on what kind of arm is being used.

You’re crazy. I know that. 🤣
