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.

 

Currie Johnny Joint Upper Control Arms

The Currie Johnny joint upper control arms are meant for use on the Jeep Unlimited and TJ with a model year falling between 1997 and 2006.  These control arms are totally adjustable which means that you will be able to adjust the angle of the pinion once a lift kit has been installed.  These Johnny joint upper control arms have been made from tubing measuring 1 inch by .156 wall.  They do come to you complete with the Johnny joint on either end of the control arms.

These are great for anyone who wants a set of adjustable arms in case you are planning a lift in the future. 

What is the purpose of having Johnny Joints in the Rear?

The control arms are in control of the rear and front axle movement while the trac bar is in control of the lateral movement of the axles.  Sway bars have the control of any upward sort of movement.  That said, how can the Johnny joint be beneficial?

When you are going over terrain that is rough, the suspension flexes even though the axles do not go straight up and straight back down.  It might be that one side is up while the other is still lower.  The control arms in your Jeep won’t be perpendicular when it comes to the mounts.  In order for the suspension to be able to flex, they will need to have a bit of give.  This is why your factory installed control are have been fashioned in the way that they have.  There is a channel located in the arms that has to have a bit of flex to it in order for it to be able to follow the suspension that was installed by the factory.

If you decide to add some beefy control arms to your rig and you do not give it some sort of way to move as it should then you could actually damage or even rip the control arm mounts off totally.  For this reason, most of the control arms found on the market today are sold either with a Johnny joint or some other type of flexible mount.

The Johnny joints on the Currie Johnny joint upper control arms are simply the best.  Johnny joints made by other manufacturers are known to squeak, rattle and even to come apart.

You will need to visualize what the suspension does in order to articulate as well as what it does when you hit the gas and even when you stand up on your brakes.  This will allow you to know why you need them. 

Again, when it comes to dealing with Johnny joints, Currie is the only name you need to know.

 

 

Currie Johnny Joint Heavy Duty Adjustable Front Trac Bar

 

The trac bar in a Jeep is what moves your axles laterally.  This is an assembly that is adjustable to make your ride and your steering smoother.  The trac bar assembly consists of a rod, bushings and bearings.  Each of these components can wear with use.  There are certain things that will let you know if your trac bar starts to fail.

Pulling to the Side

One sign that your trac bar is beginning to wear if when your Jeep begins to pull on one side.  This is indicative of either the bearings, bushings or trac bar is wearing faster on one side.  If not taken care of, this can lead to suspension components, the axle assembly, the brakes, tire and other components being damaged.

Difficulty Turning

When your Jeep is difficult to turn, this is a good indicator that your trac bar needs to be replaced.  This happens when the trac bar that is located in the front of your Jeep is getting worn out and as a result is making problems with the steering column.

Hesitation in Steering

This is another sign of a worn and aging trac bar.  In this instance, the Jeep will turn in both directions but you will need to turn your steering wheel farther than normal to do it.  You may have heard the term “play” in your steering – this is what that is.

Shimmy in Your Tires

If our tires are starting to wobble, shudder or shimmy then you might have a worn out trac bar that needs to be replaced.  This particular symptom occurs when the bearings or bushings that are located in the assembly of the trac bar get worn out.  The bushings for the tie rod or for the trac bar just have too much play or space from your steering assembly.  While this might not be too noticeable at lower speeds, once you speed up the tires can start dancing to their own rhythm.

Currie Johnny Joint Heavy Duty Adjustable Front Trac Bar

This trac bar is new and improved.  It is meant for the Jeep MJ/LJ/XJ and TJ.  It features a rod end that is offset.  This puts the entire bar further forward and as a result it gives you more clearance between the trac bar and the differential.  It has a construction that is chrome moly and measures one and a quarter inch by .250 wall.  There is a gusset that goes from the Johnny Joint to the bar that is welded.  There is also an adjuster end that has a steel insert sleeve and a bushing.  These bolt into your factory installed housing bracket.  The entire thing has been given a powder coat in black.

Currie E-Z Tire Deflator

There is a tradition of airing your tires down at the start of a trail.  This tradition is nearly as old as the sport of off roading itself.  Why would you air your tires down though?  When you let the air out of your tires, the tires will be better able to grip the terrain and have a larger area of tread to grip it with.  This leads to enhancements in the quality of the ride as well as with traction.  

The E-Z tire deflator that is made by Currie functions exactly the same as the one from ARB and in fact, the entire deflator is similar.  In order to use this deflator, you must thread it onto the valve stem completely.  This is to make sure that you can remove the core while not causing any sort of damage to it.

As with everything in life, this E-Z tire deflator by Currie has its pros and cons.  The pros include that it is a reasonably priced tool.  You can get one for around $40.  It is also fast and it features a gauge that has been integrated to it so that you can keep an eye on the pressure.  This deflator can run various pressures depending on the terrain and your needs and it is easy to move it from your Jeep to another vehicle. 

The cons of the Currie E-Z tire deflator include that it can only deflate a single tire at once.  It also has some interference problems with bead lock rings and you have to make sure that the Jeep is not moving in order to use it.

All said, this E-Z tire deflator that is made by Currie does give you the ideal balance between ease of use, price and speed.

You will be able to quickly air down large tires to pressures that are very low while you still have the ability to keep your eye on the pressure constantly with the gauge.  It also comes with a storage pouch.

A tie rod is a component in the steering mechanism of your Jeep.  It looks like a thin rod and it is used for a tie while also being able to carry only tensile loads.  The tie rod has both an outer end and an inner end.  If you take a look at the spokes that you will find on the wheel of a bicycle, they are tie rods. 

Tie rods send the force that comes from the center steering link or from the rack gear all the way to the steering knuckle.  The outer end of the tie rod is connected to an adjusting sleeve.  This allows for the tie rod to have an adjustable length.  This adjustment is what is used to set the angle of the alignment of the Jeep.

There are a variety of ways that tie rods can be connected at the ends.  That said, the strength of whatever connection type you choose needs to at the very least be equal to the strength of the tie rod itself.  The ends of the tie rods are able to be threaded and once they are threaded you will be able to pass them through shackles or drilled holes.  You can then retain them by screwing nuts on them at the ends. 

With the currectlync heavy duty tie rod system that is made by Currie, you will have enough strength to go anywhere.

Currie Antirock Sway Bar Kit

 

Currie makes an antirock sway bar that gives you a balanced performance for both your front and your rear suspension during even the most extreme driving conditions on or off the trails.  With this sway bar, you will experience traction that is enhanced.  This enhancement is delivered because of the sway bar first distributing and then balancing the weight of the load over all four – or more – of your tires.  This particular antirock sway bar that Currie makes is crafted to be a direct replacement part for your sway bar that was installed by the factory.

This sway bar that Currie makes has been crafted from SAE 4130 steel that has been heat treated in order to give it a strength that is unparalleled.  This type of steel happens to be the very same type that you see being used in the more popular off road professional competitions.  This sway bar comes to you in a kit that contains each of the components that you will find necessary for a proper and safe installation of the antirock sway bar.  Contents of the kit include instructions that are very highly detailed and complete as well as all of the hardware that is necessary – including the bushings – for installation and of course the sway bar itself.  This is an installation that is amazingly simple too.  Just position the sway bar through your cross member that is located in the front and then simply attach the sway bar to your stock mounting points that are located right on the housing of our axle.

Another amazingly useful thing about this particular sway bar is the fact that it does not need to be disconnected when you decide to hit the trails.  When this sway bar made by Currie is installed properly, you might notice that your rig has more of a pronounced body roll that that which it had with the factory installed sway bar.  That said, while you can use this sway bar in highway applications, your street performance will be altered.
