Looking into getting Currie AntiRock sways. Questions:
1) what's the preferred brackets aluminum or steel?? And why?
2) are they worth the $$$$?

I went with the steel ... I wanted the aluminum but my shop said go with the steel so I did I think it was a bit cheaper..... For me not having to connect and disconnect all the time was worth the price

Can't really go wrong either way. I went with aluminum front and rear so i didn't have to worry about rust (New England) and I love the contrast since my Jeep is all black. They work amazing-

The aluminum versus steel is personal preference. The on road differences give the Jeep more body roll on road, but a more stable feeling offroad. I believe they are supposed to work best when paired front and rear, but at that cost one would almost consider going with the Teraflex adjustable sway bar that you can turn the dial for street or off road use.

I chose aluminium for the looks, only a little bit more expensive, was worth it for me

Thx for input. Looks like the aluminum is cheaper.... Which is why i questioned it. Usually it's more expensive than steel versions. Thx again

Would anyone recommend going to these and eliminate the factory electronic sway bar disconnect on their Rubicon? Does it work better?

I wouldn't. My Jeeps are DDs so I need all the on-road stability I can get. The Rubicon e-disconnect sway is perfect for my needs.

This is exactly what I did. But it was because my e-disconnect failed after it got a little wet. When it failed it sent my jeep into limp mode. The dealership replaced it under warranty but it wasn't worth it to me to have it fail again just because it gets wet. No way you can keep the system dry where it is located. There are tons of threads out there of other people having the same issue. So, I sold the e-disco and went with the antirock and I'm very happy. It's nice to not have to disconnect anything when I off-road or even push a button.

As for on road stability, this is my daily driver. It does take some getting used to but I've had it like this for 2 years and I never even think about it anymore.

Me personally, I would not recommend these setups. The rear swaybar on the JKs are pretty small from the factory. I don't think you will notice much of a difference, if any, in the rear of a JK going from stock to Currie. For the front, just disconnect when you go offroad. It takes all of 2 minutes to disconnect and maybe 5 minutes tops to reconnect; even less with a Rubi. On the road you will have much more body roll with Currie swaybars, and for me that is not good. If you don't mind the body roll, then go for it and you won't have to get out of your Jeep and get dirty
