Was curious since with the swayloc one might be able to run on a looser setting due to the firmer bar for on road.

Looking for thoughts and opinions on the Antirock

I strongly suspect that the Swayloc in soft is a close match to the current RockJock Antirock settings. Meaning, one can't go softer than the second hole on the old Currie AR.

I have a first gen AR. I really can't tell a difference between any of the holes so I keep it in the middle. (there's a joke in there somewhere but I'm too tired to point it out)
I told me that lol.
I almost lost control of my Jeep the other day on an entrance ramp to I-10. It was wet and the rear broke loose somewhere around 30-40 mph. When I tried to countersteer and correct the slide, the excess body roll from the antirock made it extremely difficult to recover. I'll agree that the antirock is fine for 98% of daily driving.
The thing is, it's fine, until it isn't. A little extra body roll while daily driving never bothered me, but having poor handling in the moment when it is needed the most is scary. I'll be switching out my antirock for a swayloc soon, since my TJ is my daily driver.
My bet is the Antirock had absolutely nothing to do with what happened there.
Modified rigs don’t behave like their stock counterparts.
Been DD'ing with a front antirock on the loosest setting and no rear sway bar for at least 30,000 miles at this point. I lean it over damn near 45* every time I drive it and usually pull a tire or two off the ground in corners. Damn right it's not safe, and I don't recommend anyone follow my lead, but you can't be scared of it, and it's just as easy to learn it's limits as any other setup.
I can also take on ramps at 45-55ish without spinning out into a big ball of flames, so yeah sounds like something else is contributing to your issue

Already have a mid arm
My previous statement was loaded with sarcasmAlready have a mid arm
Oh I know. I've also got custom tuned foxes, but I don't tune my shocks to fix body roll
Unless you have a very big flutter, by the basic virtue of a decently tuned shock you are mitigating body roll. But even with an overly stupid flutter, it will still catch the body on a hard turn.
well I'm not smart enough to know that. What are you calling a big and an overly stupid flutter?
I've got a flutter, been making it slightly softer the last few times I've had the 2.5s apart as it's a bit harsh on the street. Not sure I know what you mean by catch the body though, I've felt something like that with the LSC's I tested on the front, didn't like it though
Gotta figure out how to make it fit with a stock width axle, outboarded 2.5x12's and 33's. Then life got busy and here I am a few years later
Eh, it's a daily occurrence lol. Starting to think I don't have any idea how a flutter works or what it does.I would never open myself up like that.
I recently installed an Anti-rock and not liking the trip down the freeways. The excess body roll is a little unnerving... I set mine the the stiffest and still not liking it on road. I like the idea behind the Swayloc might just end up going with it in the end.
Still going to try out the AR on the trails this summer and see how that goes.
