Awesome! I was looking at the manual system from EVO but I'm gonna do this instead. Can't wait.

Can't you just get the anti rock and be done with it?

This had been around for years and I like this better. I had the manual on my tj.

A low rate sway bar is better than no sway bar like the antirock.  This one switches from road to trail and back.

So your saying an AntiRock is better than a disconnected swaybar?  I thought I saw a test where they did that and showed the antirock caused a loss of flex?

Unfortunately, I didn't do a comparison when I switched over, but I will tell you that I felt significantly more stable with the AR at Golden than I did without. Also, I couldn't notice less flex than before.

That is the theory...AR is better than a completely disconnected swaybar.  As Doug posted, there are other options out there.  I think the Teraflex one is pretty nifty, too.

Currie has a video that describes it, their development process, and some other stuff, too.

Yes a light sway is better than no sway.  Controlled movement, smooth but can reduce flex for extreme flex rigs.

No issues here with AR and flex.

True, but if the anti rock limited flex wouldn't it still impact a rig with struts?

UH...maybe when properly setup :)  Mine would be questionable on the road right now.
