What exactly are they? I know that they replace the stock sway bars but can you disconnect them offroad? It says on there site you dont but can you and when would you? And how much worse are they on road, body roll and such?

Thanks

Try searching on this. They replace the stock swaybar. You don't have to disconnect with the Anti-rock. That is the benefit of having one.

You don't disconnect them offroad. Basically they are a "softer" anti roll bar than the stock one, so you get more articulation than with a stock roll bar but still maintain stability in off camber situations.

its awesome thats what u need to know, there is an awesome write up on it as mentioned above, better ride and the handling is slightly different

What about using one on the rear?

There wouldn't be substantial gains. The loss of stability wouldn't be worth it.

So they keep the body level offroad but have more body roll on road.

It says they have 5 different settings would you switch between them for offroad and street driving?

It says in the article that the differece with the Antirock really start to become noticable with them front and rear?

Here is the quote.

I got my anti-rock a couple months ago and I love it! Another great thing about the antirock that I havent seen mentioned yet is that completely disconnecting the stock swaybar is with a good suspension system will give you non-usable flex where your flexed tire has no sprung weight on it giving it no traction... well the anti-rock will eliminate this un-usable flex.

Also I dunno if it was talked about or not but there is a torsion bar that connects the two arms which twists and the farther out you have the links set the more leverage on the bar which gives you less resistance which = more flex. I dont know if that helps you at all though.

get one...well worth it.

An alternative is the ORO SwayLoc. It has an inner and outer torsion bar, and you disconnect the outer by flipping a lever (unless you get the air operated version). The SwayLoc has similar characteristics to the AntiRock when offroad, but provides for a much tighter ride when on road and connected.

I installed one about three weeks ago and the on-road handling is noticeably better than with the stock antisway bar. I have only done some moderate offroading with it, but was quite pleased. I'll be hitting the rocks in Clayton, OK this w/e and will be able to tell you more next week.

the antirock gives lateral stability to your rig. if you currently disco your swaybar, then chances are you have felt the front of your jeep pitch and roll from side to side in off camber situations and going over rocks, with the antirock it'll allow you to still have the great articulation as with the discos, but adds the benefit of lateral stability. I don't have the antirock (yet) and you can see in this pic how my jeep is being pushed to the passanger side with the antirock I think it would have been a more stable climb

Got it. Love it. Wouldn't trade it for the world. I bought it because someone told me that since I was replacing the suspension to go ahead and knock that out as well. Really glad I did.

I love my Antirock! I've got in on the loosest setting and drive it everyday and don't have any problems. Just remember it isn't a sport car and you will be fine. As for body roll, there is a bit more of it than with the stock sway bar but nothing that will make you feel uncomfortable.

[Road_Warrior85]

Here is my take on the whole rear end situation....

Everybody seems to say, OH NO! dont put it on the rear, you get too much body roll.

Well, when you disconect the front end, or install antirock, it allows the front end to flex more... But the rear is still attached. So the rear end is still being held down and trying its hardest to keep the front end down too.

Which steals a lot of your flex.

I have seen people wheel with disconected swaybars front and rear and I would never do that. Way too much lean on small slopes.

Here is what I did..... I put antirock on front and rear. Softest setting possible up front for most flex, and stiffest setting in the rear for least flex. I can adjust as needed, and its still much better than stock or totally disconected.

You don't, you pick one and stick with it. Most set their Antirocks at the second-to-last hole (second to most flexible setting) and stick with it. Since my TJ is rarely driven on the street now, I moved mine from that setting to the rear-most hole (most flexible). I really don't notice that much difference on the street though. Drive it like a Jeep and not a sports car and it's fine.
