What does dual rate mean?

The TeraFlex Forged Dual Rate S/T Swaybar System is the most advanced manual swaybar disconnect systems available. With its easy engagement knob you can go from street to trail in seconds - literally! The Dual Rate S/T Swaybar System gives you the best of both worlds. Engaged in the ‘street’ position, the bar delivers a safer more stable highway drive. Disconnected in the ‘trail’ position, it allows your vehicle to articulate and your tires to bite despite the terrain with balanced suspension travel. The Dual Rate features two torsion bars, one for heavy duty highway handling and one tuned for off-road articulation. The "Trail" setting offers some resistance but just enough to limit excessive body roll when maneuvering off camber and side hill situations. It also helps to maintain and keep the vehicle’s center of gravity constant by keeping the vehicle weight distributed evenly. The torsion bars are made from high grade 4130 alloy steel. The new FORGED arms add to the strength while reducing the overall weight.
There is virtually no limit in articulation when running the Dual Rate S/T. Engaging and Disengaging are as simple as the twist of a knob. Fits all JK Wrangler models including the Rubicon and Unlimited.

Really wish I could afford this setup instead of waiting to get my inferior e-disco setup

How difficult of an install is this if you are removing the factory rubicon electronic disco?

It's pretty easy to remove the rubicon edisco. However you will have a light on the dash. Sounds like you can use a ProCal to remove the edisco option, I just don't know of anyone that has. I'm going to try to seolve this one this weekend on mine.

That's a crying shame. I've been looking at these for my trip to Moab in a few weeks. But back to the owner of the threads question. Does anybody have experience with the single rate version. And what can TeraFlex tell us about the forged single rate version that has not yet come out?
