The instructions tell you......
Anyway, the hole at the very end of the arm (towards the rear of the Jeep), is the softest setting, and the hole closest to the center of the arm is the stiffest setting.

I don't think he's being the pissy one.

The instructions included with the Anti-rock explain which way to move the adjustment for stiffness/softness settings. Further, they also explain that each adjustment increment affects articulation by ~1/2". Move the adjustment point to the outer most hole and you gain 2" greater articulation than the inner most hole at the cost of greater body roll. Move it to the inside hole and it's just the opposite, greater roll resistance at the cost of articulation.

I didn't think Fred (StealthTJ) was being the least bit "pissy". But the reason Currie didn't include which way to go to tighten or loosen the stiffness might have been because to most people, it is probably obvious. The longer the lever (the further out on the arm the links are connected), the more leverage it has.

what would have been wrong with him just saying the answer, what was the point in saying, the instructions tell you... and jerry u usually arent a jerk like you were right there, u are the person i look to for answers a lot, and i thought that was how you tighten it, but wanted to make sure, so i asked.

I think what happens is people post on this forum to get a quick 'n easy answer rather than having to do much work on their own. This is why you see a lot of posts on the same subjects over and over again: tire size fitment, BB issues, bumpers, etc.

Often these answers can be had by taking some initiative such as searching the forum first, or in your case, possibly calling Currie directly and asking a tech. While I wouldn't want to discourage people from asking questions, sometimes things that seems very straightforward can be annoying. Nonetheless, people make an effort to provide answers.

It's one of the reasons I usually post questions as a last resort if I'm not finding the particular information through the searches, instructions, or company techs. For instance, I had a question during my winch installation on a funny little ground wire and where specifically it was supposed to be attached and I just couldn't comprehend the electrical diagrams that were the instructions. Rathern than bringing it up on the forum I just called up Warn the next morning. Had my answer in less than 5 min.

It just got to me as well when you snapped at Stealth Tj, who's made some great contributions here on the forums, after he answered your question with perhaps a touch of sarccasm. And now you're going after Jerry of all people? Poor form, sir. Poor form indeed.

I don't find anything offending in this forum except you accusing other poeple of being smart or pissy
