Rear swaybar antirock(heavy) or teraflex

[MadMax86]

What had to happen, happened. The swaybar link brackets are shearing off the frame. I'm looking for input on either swaybar relocation kits. From what info I was able to find, the standard antirock and the teraflex give a similar ride to the factory swaybar. Does anyone have the heavier 1 1/8 inch antirock? Is it worth twice the price of the teraflex? I've got a canopy and heavy rear bumper with tire carrier plus all the camping gear. Looking at pro's and cons, antirock is Bolt on while teraflex needs holes drilled in the frame. Also will the rokblokz mudflaps still fit with either swaybar?

I have the Teraflex system, and yeah drilling into the frame was a pain. The rest of the install was pretty straightforward. I've got a taller, heavier Alu-Cab Canopy Camper system and I'm happy with the roll resistance of the Teraflex set up. I can't compare to the Anti-Rock system or the option of different diameters. If Teraflex made their connecting arms with multiple holes, and allowed attaching the links to various holes to change the anti-roll rate, I'd like it more. Pretty common to do that in other rear sway systems.

Though its worth noting, I did the sway bar and a 3" lift at the same time. I drove it for a while without a track bar relocation bracket - so the track bar was fairly tilted, down at the axle and up at the frame. I added the relocation kit, got the track bar level by raising up the axle side, and rear sway was noticeably reduced. If you have a lift I'd consider the relocation to be an essential part of it, though it seems that it's rarely included in kits. Just FYI

Could always go with the metalcloak brackets to help support the broken ones(breaking) I ended up going Hellwig. No complaints so far.

Antirock..you need a heavy sway bar in back and one thats mounted better and will flex good.

I thought about it, but it seems more of a bandaid. It won't prevent bent swaybar links

Thanks for the info. I'm gonna put the AEV 3" high capacity lift next year, which includes the track bar relocation

Sounds legit. I kinda wonder how many people get a heavier rear bar when really they just needed the relocation bracket
