Currie Anti rock

[06 H3]

I have been searching around at the currie anti rock system for the rear. Seems cool, No surprise there isnt one designed for the hummers but a universal kit with some modification could do the trick. What do you guys think of them? I know not many here run them but I like that fact that it limits bodyroll and doesnt limit travel, well thats the theory anyways haha. Recon you run them? I think this will help me flex out the deavers while not having to worry about body roll from the tire up top...

I run them front and rear. Had them on my TJ too. It's a very good setup. In the H3 I notice it when I throttle into a corner. I feel the truck is going to lean over but thanks to the anti rocks it doesn't. I'm actually going to test a stiffer setting when I get access to a ramp. I'll put it as stiff as possible where it won't affect travel on the ramp.

I use their heavy duty Links on my front anti-sway bar, good stuff had to cut them a bit.

What is the advantage of this thin bar over our hefty bars we have now? Adjustment other than the length of the links by position in the bracket?
In the case of the H3 and adjusting torsions and changing shocks and travel length at least in my case with the addition of BP tie rods and 315 tires there is a narrow area of adjustment on the stock ones that allows everything to clear. So I cannot just set them at level at static stance, they are cocked up a bit but still control the H3 on road very well. However I have not found that to affect handling in a negative way. I hate body roll but want the suspension to be flexible enough not to handle like a go-cart and give some movement on off camber trails along a drop that would be bad. Most noted detrimental affect and increase of body roll I experienced was adding the rear shackles with stock spring packs. I think a heavier top spring might fix some of that back there, not lower "overload" leaves.
I tried removing the OEM anti-sway bars just to try it and no doubt they make a HUGE difference.
Another thing I could see doing that, is lifting the frame/body using a suspension "lift kit" and not having the proper rear springs or stiff enough torsions to control the higher CG.
I'm not sure about raising the body alone 1", how that would increase this concern. Maybe less of a difference of mass?
Share some thoughts on this while I watch that video again. I'm trying to learn some of the added features of this.
In my past a larger stiffer anti-sway bar was the best but that was for fast flat cornering on mostly smooth surfaces even though unlevel in places not rock crawling.
We also at that time went as far as adjusting the drivers side links to compensate for drivers weight for repeated cornering.
ps
They could use a mike on the talking head rather than the on camera mike in the hollow room. sorry, old thorn in the side from career.

Thanks recon.

Hunner I will reread it in the AM when I can think straight lol

Hunner, sorry I forgot about this thread. Im leaving the front alone. Im talking about the rear. While its cheaper to take the sway bar off I will get body roll esp. with the tire up top. Curries don't limit flex but can stop body roll. They have an interesting setup. It seems to drop with the suspension but still limits body roll. Its kinda tough to explain. Maybe I can find a working model on the antirock system. When these deavers come in I wanna use the flex they provide, not limit them!

That also opens up another can of worms seeing most jeepers don't disconnect the rear for whatever reason. Im gonna have to research that.

In my experience you have to have both connected or both disconnected. If you leave one on, the vehicle tends to sway from side to side instead of flex.

interesting. 99% of the jeep guys I wheel with disco the front and leave the rear...

Hunner this may help in terms of explanation the whole goal is to limit body roll and not limit flex.

I saw that earlier. I think I'm ok lol

That video drags on a bit haha but it does explain how it works

Doesn't mean they are right. I've tried both setups and can guarantee you it makes a huge difference. Most people do it either because road handling is more important to them, or they just haven't tried it the other way to see its better. Before the anti rocks on my TJ, I ran disconnects up front with fix sway in rear. Jeep was all over the place. Removed rear, and that solved it. When I got the front anti rock, same story. Jeep was all over the place with no rear sway bar. Put it on, and Jeep went back to being stable again. Did lose some travel over no sway bars, but gained on road stability. Suspension travel was much greater than with both stock sway bars. It was a great compromise. That why I now run double anti rocks on H3. Connected I get over 1000 on the ramps, and on the road it handles well.

Im not saying they are right, id trust you before I trust them. You have experience wheeling all over the world. would antirocking the rear and not the front cause problems?
