Well put together write up. It's on my short list of things to buy.
That's where good shocks come into play. With my compression adjusters and the SwayLOC set between both extremes, the Jeep is dramatically a different vehicle.

Well, it is the same eye opening epiphany as what you just experienced with the install of the SL.No doubt a set of tuned shocks can really help the on-highway performance of an Antirock, perhaps even a set of appropriately valved off-the-shelf shocks. I can only imagine the improvement with a SwayLOC and good shocks.
If you were trying to do so to make the AR work I'd sorta agree. If you were trying to do so to take your rig to the best performing level you can, then not so much.However, it seems to me that spending $100 per corner for upgraded production shocks or $400 per corner for tuned shocks in an attempt to make an Antirock perform almost as well as a SwayLOC on the highway is an expensive way to rationalize/justify/make the best of a purchase decision vs. spending $250 more than the cost of an Antirock to get the SwayLOC in the first place.
Oh, I don't know about all of that, someone had to figure out how to switch between two rates.@psrivats may be the smartest one in the room. He went straight from factory to the SwayLOC with no Antirock in between.

I feel it's a better idea to let the antiswaybars do what they are supposed to instead of banking too much on shocks to take up more of roll control, esp on the hwy.
For those who aren't aware, Blaine designed the Swayloc.Oh, I don't know about all of that, someone had to figure out how to switch between two rates.
Ask next why Blaine is no longer a fan of it in its present design state.Jesus, now I need a SwayLoc
Why are you no longer a fan of it in its present state @mrblaine?Ask next why Blaine is no longer a fan of it in its present design state.
We could very easily go down the road of comparing shock tunes.

This is how I feel as well. I actually prefer the Antirock on-road over the factory sway bar. Maybe I am nuts?I like my Antirock on the road more than a stock. The ride is nicer with the Antirock. I still have the stock rear swaybar and a slightly higher trackbar helps reduce roll too.

Different solutions to overlapping problems. Both of which compliment each other.
