Currie Reviews Antirock Front Sway Bar System


The Antirock sway bar that is brought to you by the minds at Currie will give you a performance that is balanced for both the rear and the front suspension even while you are driving in the most extreme conditions out on the trails or even while you are on the highway.  When you equip your Jeep with this particular sway bar, the traction that you normally have will be enhanced.  This is due to the fact that the sway bar works to distribute and then to balance the weight of your rig over each of the tires on your Jeep.  Curries Antirock sway bar has been made to be used as a direct replacement for the cheaper, flimsier sway bar that was originally installed when you bought your Jeep.

The Antirock sway bar that is made by Currie has been formed from 4130 SAE Steel that has been given a heat treatment so that the strength that it has will be unmatched.  If you have never heard of 4130 SAE steel, it is the same kind of steel that is most often seen in many of the most popular professional competitions for off road driving.  When you purchase the Currie designed Antirock sway bar, you will get it as part of a kit that is complete with each of the parts that will be necessary for you to install the bar safely and properly.  This kit comes with complete and highly detailed installation instructions along with all of the necessary hardware (this includes the bushings) for installation.  The installation of this bar is one that is quite simple.  All you need to do is put the sway bar into position through the cross member (in the front) and then just attach it to your factory installed mounting points that you will find right on the axle housing.  

One of the great things about the Antirock sway bar that is brought to you by the minds at Currie is that when you decide to leave civilization behind for a while and take to the trails, you will not need to disconnect it.  When this component has been installed properly, you will notice that the Jeep will have a more pronounced body roll as opposed to what it had with the original sway bar.  Taking this into account, you should be advised that the street performance of your Jeep will be altered although the bar can still be used for street applications.

All of the Jeep parts and components that are made by Currie come to you with an item specific warranty.  Check the packaging materials for the warranty information and read it thoroughly so that you understand exactly what is covered and for how long.

Antirock Automatic Sway Bar Kit by Currie


The Antirock Sway Bar that Currie makes gives you a performance of your rear and front suspension that is balanced for even the most extreme off road driving conditions.  It allows you to have traction that is increased and this is delivered by the bar distributing and balancing the weight over all of your tires.  This antirock sway bar is meant to be a replacement for your stock sway bar.

This bar is constructed from heat treated SAE 4130 steel so that it has unmatched strength.  This is the same type of steel that you will find in use in professional off road competitions.  This bar comes as a kit that includes all of the components that you will need to safely and properly install the bar.  Contents include complete and highly detailed installation instructions, all of the necessary hardware and the bushings along with the bar itself.  It is also incredibly easy to install.  Simply position the bar through the cross member in the front and then attach is to your stock mounts that you will find on the housing for the axle. 

One great thing about this bar is that you will not need to disconnect it when you hit the trails. 

Once you have this bar installed you will notice that your Jeep will have more of a body roll to it than what you experienced with your OE bar.  While this bar can be used in street applications, you will not have the same performance as you would on the street with your OE bar.

Antirock Sway Bar Kit for the Rear LJ/TJ Bolt On

This is a kit that contains everything necessary to install the rear antirock sway bar on your Jeep LJ or TJ.  Everything in the kit is easy to install simply by bolting the components on.  The only thing that isn’t bolted on in this kit is the set of housing tabs.  These tabs are not bolt on but must actually be welded in order to attach them to the housing.  In this kit, you will find the 45” sway bar along with extremely detailed installation instructions, all of the necessary hardware to install the kit safely and properly, the housing tabs that need to be welded on, sway bar links that are adjustable and heim jointed, sway bar bushings, frame brackets that have been given a powder coat in semi-gloss black and are bolt on as well as the sway bar itself.  Proper installation of this kit does require a bit of minor welding on the housing tabs as well as a bit of trimming that must be completed at the inner rear wheel wells in order to allow for complete sway bar arm travel.
