Being forgetful I invariably forget to disconnect the front sway bar, so decided to try a Currie Antirock. I know quite a few people are already running these, but thought I'd share my thoughts.
It was an easy install and took about an hour. It did not look like it would foul the front body mount bracket, but it would be close, so I clearanced the bracket a little.
The ideal geometry for a sway bar is parallel to the ground, or with a little negative angle (ie: higher at the rear). I went a little higher at about 8.5°, but that will give me slightly longer links for better droop and link clearance.
On the highway you can feel the difference compared to the factory sway bar, but you soon get used it and the vehicle still feels sure footed.
When flexing it works as advertised and allows you to flex well without having to disconnect.
The big improvement comes in the middle area, when on a rough trail or light obstacles. You don't get that boat like front end bounce that you do when disconnected. It makes driving along trails much more comfortable and the vehicle feels much more sure footed.
