The Currie Antirock is just fine to run on a daily driver. It doesn't affect the handling of the vehicle at all in all honesty.
Anyone who runs an Antirock will agree with me on that. It's barely even noticeable, especially on the middle setting.
What should my next upgrade be?

I wouldnt mind doing the 1" body and motor lifts and get rid of the transfer case drop kit but prob wont do the flat transfer case cross member.
I might add though, if you want a nice price on a pair of new JKS disconnects, @CodaMan is selling some here: FS: JKS Quicker Disconnects (JKS 2000)
A standard length SYE works fine, it's what I installed into my previous TJ whose lift height varied from 4 to 5.5". A benefit to staying with a standard SYE is the same speedometer gear assembly is used to keep your speedometer calibrated. You have to install an electronic speedometer calibrator after installing a super-short SYE which eliminates the speedometer gear. For Joe-Average TJ owner running a typical suspension lift I really don't see the benefit to running a super-short SYE.
P.S. Where I would see the benefit to or need for a super-short SYE is with a combination of a belly-up and a substantial suspension lift. Just not not with the average 3-4" suspension lift.
just my luck, those disconnects are for 0 to 2" and I have a full 4" of lift.

I wish I knew. Just like gearing and axles. It’s just a necessity with these Jeeps if you want to wheel them and set them up properly. But I do know that for the pricing increase for double adjustables it’s probably worth it since it’s not too much more. I look at Jeeping like I do golfing or something similar that makes me happy to do and build. It’s a hobby and an addiction so when I do get those 8 control arms and adj track bars I’ll be grinning with excitement from ear to ear even if it did cost me a hefty coin. What else ya gonna spend your hard earned money on? You only live once right?

I’d do SYE and DC first. You already have rear upper adjustable CA’s, so you can adjust your pinion angle already. Then I’d go the homemade quick disco route for $6 at your local hardware store to see how you like them, if they’ll serve your purpose. The rest can wait till you are ready to go to 35’s. I’d think hard about that 8.8 and if you decide against it, go ahead and do the adjustable rear trackbar. Then I’d do the rest of the adjustable control arms, the axle/gearing and the 35’s
I'v also been hearing that people with leaf springs are running trails with out sway bars OR track bars. Is that true?? and is that something that a coil sprung jeep can do??
TJ needs a trackbar. A YJ can get away without a trackbar because the leaf springs keep the axle centered based on the fact that the leaf spring is bolted to the axle and then to the frame at each end, keeping lateral movement to a minimum. But anyone could run a TJ without a swaybar, I wouldn't suggest it. But it is possible.
ok , never mind, ive just read more about it. cant do without the track bar. sorry for the question.
My first list :
1. ford 8.8 install that I already have. ( its just way less expensive than buying a D 44 for me.
2. SYE and drive shaft ( get rid of that transfer case drop kit)
3. Rear adjustable track bar
4. quick discos or currie antirock sway bar.
5. would love to go to 35" tires some day
6. more adjustable control arms. JJ
So this is my new direction according to yalls vote.

The 4 and 2 can flip flop. —->>> SYE/drive shaft.
quick disconnects.
more control arms
I have one Savvy upper rear control arm set double adjustable for pinion adjustment.
Rear adjustable track bar
the 8.8
35s
Most are not for the 8.8 swap.

That is correct in my opinion...You just can't do a rear track bar until you decide on the 8.8. Also, not sure if you have a BL or not, but it would help some if you are on 4" total lift to have a small BL. That opens the option of a MML. Looks good though! Go for it and keep us up to speed.
it does but , thats covered in the the process. actually already have the yoke adapter .
