I have never had any problems with their equipment. With that said, this will get a few responses stating the same about FT.

As far as the instructions, I have not had a chance to write them up. I can tell you that it is a fairly easy install re-using factory hardware and factory holes. The rear Antirock requires relocation of brake lines and drilling of two holes is necessary.

I hope this system is a good as their TJ system. I was so impressed with the system I had on my TJ that I ordered the Currie JK system with the Waler Evans shocks and front & rear AntiRocks today!

A couple questions for the guys at Currie....
1. Will the long travel kit (s) allow 35" tires comfortably? I know it says 33"s will fit, but 35x12.5 on a 4.25-4.75" backspaced wheel? Doable? Or no?
2. How many of the parts included in the long travel kits usable if one were to upgrade from that to the off-road system?
If its cost-effective to start with the long travel kit and later upgrade to the full offroad kit, and I can still fit 35"s, this might be an option for me....thanks!

Great thanks! The opening to my garage door is 82" high. The highest point of my softop is 73" high so I've got 9" to work with, Sounds like it shouldn't be a problem....
An actual measurement would be great though just so I know.

The Antirock does not work with the automatic disconnect. As far as why the Antirock instead of the stock swaybar, the following is from the Currie site:
"The Currie Antirock® Sway Bar provides balanced performance of front and rear suspension for rugged off-road conditions. It gives the driver increased traction by balancing and distributing the weight over all four tires. The Antirock® Off-Road sway bar is designed to replace the stock Jeep sway bar.
The Currie Antirock® Sway Bar does not need to be disconnected for off-road use.
Jeeps will have more body roll than stock. This Sway Bar may be used on the street, however it will not provide the same performance as the stock setup."
