I feel ya on that. I really want one, but that may be a bit too much for me.


But back to the suspension kit. How complete is this one, compared to other kits on the market?

I agree. I'll get the rear antirock kit when the prices are more in line with the TJ stuff. I understand it's a new product and there will be a premium on it for a while, but I'm a patient guy and can wait until it's $299 or less to buy it.

BTW the Currie suspension kit looks like an awesome setup!

4 reasons why the rear JK Antirock is 459.00 and not 299.00 (TJ front Antirock)

2-Rear Mounting Brackets (laser cut, welding, coating), dont need them on TJ goes through hole on frame.

1- 50" long Antirock bar (have you priced 4340 lately!!!!), TJ bar is only 36" long.

2- Rear Braided SS DOT approved brake lines (must be relocated inside the frame), not needed on TJ.

2- 22" long arms vs. 16" for the TJ



Something else to keep in mind.......

In the last 5 years the price of steel has gone through the roof, more than double!!!!

Looks like a real complete kit, probably the most complete on the market right now..........Im still waiting to see more long arm systems though. Are there any in Currie's future???

Like I said. I am sure they are worth it. I just seems like everything cost so much more now with gas and metal going up. It just means I have to wait a little while longer to get them. At first (on my LJ with a 6" LA and 35" tires) I wasn't sold on the Antiroc until I wheeled Telico diconnected in the front, I was new to that kind of wheeling and it scared the shit out of me. I thought I was going to flop over on every rock. I met a guy there that said it would be money well spent. Next trip I had one up front and felt like a pro. Much more control then before. So I'm not knockin ya, Just venting how it seems like everything costs so much more now.

Post Antirock

David,

When is the antirock going to be up on the web site?

Could you could you e-mail me a copy of the installation instructions to me or provide a link?

Is a rear Antiroc really beneficial? I've never flexed my JK with the rear sway bar disco'd, but it seems like I read that you only gain about 1" travel in the rear while diconnected, the most gain is in the front.

Or do I have the wrong info?
