SwayLOC vs AntiRock

So which is better?

what is better for the Jeep Wrangler TJ, the Currie Anti-Rock or the Sway-loc?



Both the Currie Anti-Rock and the Sway-Loc are popular upgrades for the Jeep Wrangler TJ's sway bar system, but they serve different purposes and offer distinct advantages. The better option depends on your specific needs and driving preferences.
  1. Currie Anti-Rock: The Currie Anti-Rock sway bar is a replacement for the stock sway bar on the Jeep Wrangler TJ. It features a torsion-style sway bar that provides improved off-road performance by allowing increased axle articulation while maintaining stability and control. The Anti-Rock sway bar provides a balanced amount of resistance to body roll, enhancing off-road traction without sacrificing on-road handling. It is particularly beneficial for those who prioritize off-road capabilities and want to tackle challenging terrains.
  2. Sway-Loc: The Sway-Loc is an electronically controlled sway bar disconnect system. It allows you to disconnect or engage the sway bar from the driver's seat with the push of a button. This feature is useful for quickly transitioning between on-road and off-road driving conditions. When disconnected, the sway bar allows for increased suspension travel and better axle articulation, enhancing off-road performance. When engaged, it provides improved stability and control for on-road driving. The Sway-Loc system is suitable for those who frequently switch between on-road and off-road driving and desire convenience and versatility.
Ultimately, choosing between the Currie Anti-Rock and the Sway-Loc depends on your priorities and driving preferences. If you primarily focus on off-road performance and want a balanced sway bar setup, the Currie Anti-Rock is a great choice. If you require the ability to disconnect and reconnect the sway bar quickly and easily, particularly for on-the-fly adjustments, then the Sway-Loc system might be more suitable. Consider your specific needs and consult with experts or fellow Jeep enthusiasts for personalized recommendations based on your driving style and requirements.

The sway-loc is not electronically operated




I apologize for the incorrect information. You are right, the Sway-Loc is not electronically operated.
The Sway-Loc is a manually operated sway bar disconnect system. It features a dual-function lever that allows you to easily engage or disengage the sway bar from the driver's seat. When engaged, the sway bar provides stability and control for on-road driving. When disengaged, it allows for increased suspension travel and improved off-road performance by allowing better axle articulation. The Sway-Loc system offers convenience and versatility for transitioning between different driving conditions.
Comparing the Currie Anti-Rock and the Sway-Loc, the key difference lies in their operation. The Anti-Rock provides a balanced torsion-style sway bar for improved off-road performance while maintaining stability. The Sway-Loc offers the ability to manually disconnect and engage the sway bar, providing convenience for transitioning between on-road and off-road driving.
Consider your specific needs, preferences, and driving conditions to determine which option better suits your requirements.

You you copying this information from some other source? Using AI?

Not only is the Sway-Loc not electronically operated, one cannot engage or disengage the manual Sway-Loc from the driver's seat.

The credibility of one's analysis depends upon the accuracy of one's facts.

Just sayin'.

Just sayin' if you can't figure out that was AI then you need AI to interpret for you. You can clearly see where I told it to regenerate saying that the swayloc was NOT electronically activated.

That was the whole point of the post, regarding AI in previous posts 👍

I believe there is a cab mounted air switch option.

The real mistake is that it doesn't disengage.
It switches between two different rate bars.

I have an anti-rock and am strongly considering the Sway-loc based on this thread. Would it be safe to say if the anti-rock clears the bumper the Sway-loc will also? I know I will have to remove the number for installation but it looks like once installed it takes up the same real estate as the anti-rock.

They do both utilize the front frame crossmember, but I think the Swayloc is a little more bulky. I believe @Wildman was planning a Swayloc on his build but decided on the Antirock because of clearance issues.

Edit: I have the manual Swayloc and really love it for on and offroad.

Depends entirely on the bumper. The SwayLoc is larger than the Antirock is.

Post pictures of your bumper from the side and it will help in seeing if it you have the room.
I have a Motobuilt bumper and the way the wings of the bumper come up over the sides of the frame makes it very hard for the SwayLoc to fit.

EDIT: Just to be CLEAR this is only one style of bumper made by Motobilt.

The inner bar on the passenger side is what can cause a problem.

Here is a picture of the passenger side as it is. Looks like there is room to me but would like to hear from you guys that have a SwayLoc.

Looks like you have room for a SwayLoc and a couple cans of soup in there. If not, cut stuff.
 

No problem.

Just for a little more information/reference for anyone looking at this. The Motobilt bumper has 2.75" of clearance above the frame.

The inner bar has a part that sticks about 3" above the frame which would have been into the bumper where the grille hoop comes down.

The top clearance appears to happen when the top of the bumper comes out flush to top of the frame and goes back to about the front original sway bar bolt. I have a Poison Spyder bumper and had to cut some clearance in the top.

The sway lock does have a electric switch with air actuator for on the fly disconnect and reconnects as an option.
