Currie Antirock Swaybar Hole Setting
 

Yes, off road will go out towards the end

I'd love a quick (didnt research it) explanation as to what this does and why... I always thought you were supposed to disconnect the swaybar completely when offroad. what would be the point of having one?

If it is a stock sway bar on a lifted Jeep, then yes. The increased travel is more than the short arms on a stock sway bar can handle. But these have longer arms and can accommodate the extra travel. If you have a soft suspension, this will give you extra stability on the trails and still allow full suspension travel

Hows that impact long arms? This is my first long arm jeep and i've been just running no sway bars at all it feels pretty stable.

the antirock has the torsion in the bar to allow it to twist. It helps distribute the weight evenly which helps offroad performance.

Most lift kits have fairly stiff rear leaf springs and get their stability there. For instance, I do not and mine does sway, but not bad with a full articulation sway bar. But to be fair on that, I rode in a stock ZJ yesterday, and my XJ with my rock springs and shocks rides much better. The long arms will help it articulate and ride better, but do not affect sway.

Old thread. So what would be an optimal setting for mostly rock crawling?

All the way to the end

And level as shown? I'm at 5.5" of lift. Instructions say sway bar links 9 1/4” center to center but is that at stock height or lifted?

You just have to make sure that the ends don't hit anything at full compression and will allow full decompression

Currie recommends the Antirock never rotate downward past a certain level to prevent the arm from flipping forward after max suspension droop. They have instructions at their rockjock4x4 website.

Yeah yeah I was a little confused by the instructions I talked to rockjock yesterday afternoon they cleared it up for me but thanks.

An XJ doesn't flex enough to bother with an antirock at all. Even then, the rear leaves will do a lot to stabilize the Jeep.

A 4 link front and rear needs some stabilization but on an XJ that's a big conversion. On my JK I just left the rear factory swaybar connected.

For a mild XJ the antirock is a complete waste of money. It isn't enough swaybar on road and too much off road so it's the worst of both worlds. Ignore the advertising. Just get some disconnects with the factory swaybar. Connect on road. Disconnect off road.

Funny I was having mixed thoughts too.
