I second your buddies experience. I have the TF version. Install wasn't too bad. Drilling is tedious, if only to ensure that you line everything up correctly. I tow a 4500lb (dry weight, so probably 5100ish loaded) 24' TT and could tell no difference between the stock and TF swaybar, in terms of stability, when towing. I have adjustable shocks and sumo springs, too. So for being a box on 37 in tires, I think it is pretty stable.The best valid reason to go with the rear anti-rock is if you are bending end links while doing trails. I was bending end links at 3 badge of Honor trails - Big Bear - John Bull Trail, Holcomb Creek Trail; and the Rubicon Trail. Everytime I did one of these trails, I bent at least one rear end link. Big Bear is not far from me, so, we do those trails periodically. I was constantly fixing my rear bent end links. The Anti-rock fixed all that - I have the standard stiffness bar with Falcon adjustable shocks, and I am happy with this setup. Do you have adjustable rear shocks ? With the anti-rock with the new stiffer bar and adjustable rear shocks, you should be able to dial in the rear stiffness you need.
Note: I have a buddy who tows with his Gladiator and has the Teraflex version of the Antirock for the rear. It is a copy with a heavier duty rod that is cheaper, but, requires you to drill a hole in the frame. He has adjustable Falcon shocks in the rear and he is happy with this setup.
But, overall, I doubt the Antirock even with the stiffer bar will be as stiff as the Hellwig on the stiffest settings.
Off-Road, I can tell a difference and really like having it back there. I installed the TF extended travel system at the same time, which is just rear UCA relocation brackets and some other spacers and odds and ends that correct geometry to allow the suspension to cycle better with longer travel shocks. Haven't gotten longer travel shocks to take full advantage, but I plan to eventually.
