hey guys, im in the process of replacing most steering/suspension components on my 98 4.0 5spd 4in lift with 33s DAILY DRIVER.. Saturday i removed my factory front sway bar and replaced it with Currie's Antirock front sway bar. i love it.

My main question is...

I am now looking to replace my REAR sway bar. Now i know Currie makes a rear antirock sway bar but it is pretty steep price wise. I have been looking at these rear sway bars: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008A433ES?keywords=wrangler%20tj%20rear%20sway%20bar&qid=1448902204&ref_=sr_1_3&sr=8-3
AND

What do you guys think? I've read somewhere this isnt the best idea with anti rock up front. Should i go with one of these? Back to factory? or save up for the rear anti rock?

Sorry for the long post.. again this is my daily driver and i want to things right!

I personally believe that for those of us with rear factory antiswaybars, they work fine with a front Antirock. That's why I never bothered to replace my rear factory antiswaybar with an Antirock, my TJ's suspension works well with that combination What's important is that the rear antiswaybar's links are the right height so its angle is correct. That means if your suspension lift is 3" taller, the links have to be 3" taller. I replaced the rear factory antiswaybar links with 1/2x20 threaded allrod and inexpensive LH/RH threaded heim joints.

I installed the rear Antirock and it works great for me, so I have a hard time deciding whether it's truly worth the money or not. It mostly assists on roadway stability. I've heard from some other folks who agree totally with Jerry B that it works fine with the stock rear sway bar + front Antirock. I just decided to give the rear Antirock a go too.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that the rear antirock had the same "rate" as a stock rear sway bar. It's really more for people who have modified their rear axle enough and can no longer use the stock one in its stock configuration.

Like Jerry said, just make sure it is positioned correctly. Another way to go about it is to make sure the arms sit level at the mid point of suspension (most likely shock) travel.
