Anyone have any experience with the front sway bar kit from thoroughbred diesel?

Ridiculous.

If you are willing to spend that kind of money, then get a SwayLoc that works better than factory and also does everything the Antirock does.

Do you have a preference on manual or remote? Also do they fit a 6 inch lift? I’m assuming they do. Thanks

I have an antirock. I don't have to touch anything.

On the Swayloc, I think most here go for the manual option. I guess it depends on if getting out and moving a lever is too much of a hassle or you prefer to hit a switch from the drivers seat.

I don't know what comes with the swayloc but the links from the arms to the axle and the link ends likely have length to accommodate a 6" lift.

I also have an AntiRock but only because the SwayLOC wasn't around when I built my Jeep out the first time. My impression is most go for the manual operation because it's one less thing to break, easy enough, and cheaper. I'd do the same.

I have the manual. The air actuator is of limited interest to me.

The provided links are adjustable for a wide range of lift heights. Custom length links are also not difficult to build.

Love the idea of the remote, but, dislike the complexity of it. Air lines, switches, moving parts etc.

IMO manual is the way to go.
