Seems like a lot of ingenuity went into the thing. I think it's a nice system. Those of you who think it's too expensive, too expensive for what? Did you think moddin your Jeep was gonna be done at a five and dime store? All things are relative in the Jeep world. I'd say comparatively speaking, it's a good deal for what it offers. It won't be on my list because I'm only at 2.5" and not in it's lift range, but I'm sure it works well for those who fall within it's range.

You are lazy. As I said earlier just keep the things simple. I am not a big fan of air hoses going all over the place.
Teraflex dual rate is an excellent design and very simple. All you have to do is turn the knob from street to trail or trail to street. Still simple and no chanes of failure at all.
What happens if you flex it or have mud all over under the chasis looking for air leak?

Going back to thread yes i do have arb lockers with high flow pump but i want to keep things simple so decided will go Teraflex way or Currie front & Rear lets see.

Because of the popularity of the Street/Trail and Dual rate Teraflex sway bars we have taken a new look at the entire sway bar product line and tooled up to make them even better and at the same time reduce the price. In a nut shell we have invested in tooling to forge the arms so we can reduce the bulk and increase the strength. Teraflex will have these out around SEMA. Along with the Dual rate we will have a new "Trail bar", not to be confused with "granola bar". Trail bar is our trade name for this new off road sway bar which is the same concept as the Currie anti rock. We will have Trail bars for the front or rear of the JK and TJ Wranglers. The Dual rate bars will only be available for the front applications for now.
The Street setting on the Dual rate bar is more firm than the factory sway bar even with the added length (leverage) of the new forged arms. The difference in the lift height is addressed with sway bar links only so any lift height or no lift at all can be accommodated. With a Teraflex Dual Rate in the front and a Trail bar in the rear your jeep will feel much more secure/hooked up on the black top with less body roll in cornering. Off road with the Dual Rate in Trail mode and the rear Trail bar you will feel an increased sense of control over simple sway bar disconnects, especially on side hills but you will also have the advantage of a tuned trail bar that allows the articulation needed to keep the tires in contact.
Teraflex will have some more information and pictures for you soon.

Difference? Just read the product descriptions. The TF set up actually locks, unlike the Currie kit. However, I know a few folk that run the TF S/T on thier TJ's and it can be a SOB to unlock if you are not on a perfectly level surface. The ORFab kit is similiar to what Full Traction/Pure Jeep brought out for the TJ a while back. Having the ability to unlock your sway bar from inside the cab is nice, but $450-$800 for 2 minutes of work are some serious labor charges

Yes the lower setup can be upgraded to allow for larger kits. It's just a matter of replacing the swaybar links.
Correct, better off road stability. With the TeraFlex Swaybars, you have the option to lock or unlock the front.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this system also helps provide more stability in off camber situations, when unlocked... where as the disco's allow far more lean.
Since we're on the topic of this system maybe someone can answer a question I have
This system comes in 2 different applications: one for 1-3" lifts and one for 4-6" lifts, where as the ORO Swayloc and the Currie Antirock only have one application that works with all size lifts.
1. What makes the Tera Flex system different in this reguard?
2. Is it possible to use the 4-6" application with a 3" lift, to allow the ability
upgrading my lift without having to purchase a new Tera Flex Sway bar?
