Turning off main road to side road is like a boat with waves hitting the sides?

[Idlethunder]

So, every time I’m driving down a main street and slow down to turn onto a side road, there’s a little bit of elevation to account for possible rainwater runoff. Once committing into the turn, the front tires will hit the side street and the vehicle gladiator will sway left and right uncontrollably like a cork in the ocean? is there some aftermarket sway bars, new, shocks, etc.? I have not lifted the vehicle or done anything to the suspension.

I'm not sure what the Overland came with but my Rubicon did the same thing when I had the OEM Fox shocks. After changing over to firmer Eibach pro truck shocks it was much better.

Yes and no. The second one is way more adjustable and includes drop links which aren’t really necessary unless you have a lift and need to replace the drop links.
There may be other differences but I don’t have any experience with the RockJock setup.

So seen the one you recommended, and not to up to speed on suspension. Does both of these do about the same and only difference is looks and price?

Hellwig is stiffer than stock, the Antirock pictured is softer than stock.

There's no reason for that particular Antirock on a street rig. It's for better off road performance.

There is a "heavy" rear Antirock that is stiffer than the stock sway bar.

Awesome, thanks

Yes , the front was all that was needed with a TJ any way as it was designed to work with the OE rear sway bar even though Currie made one for the rear but was not a direct bolt in replacement and most never used the rear for a DD . The front alone is a lot softer and removes the part that throws ya back and forth in the seat on and off road. Off road it helps more than sway bar disconnect's as the side that droops has no weight on it for traction any way but with an anti rock the tire that droops also transfers down force to the other side that is compressed which aides in giving it more traction if you run lockers . My main reason for using it initially was to get rid of the stiff side to side motion . It will rock left and right but not the annoying hard rocking I thought you were talking about . As far as what Wheelin98 said , I have used the TJ mainly on the street for the last 20 years with anti rock for just the reasons I said , I hated making a turn and getting throw back and forth in the seat abruptly which it did eliminate so in my case their is a good reason to run it plus it made off-roading more pleasurable. It all depends on what type of rocking you are trying to stop . A high center of gravity is hard to make a comfortable road racer out of but its all about compromise


I may of misunderstood exactly what you were feeling as mine was not really a sway in the situation you described. Mine was as if it was already to stiff of a suspension and more of a violent rocking that was annoying that I was trying to eliminate. antirock let the axles move without rocking the body which I was after

Its physics. High center of gravity, stiff suspension. Jeep JTs are great off road vehicles but everything comes at a price.

I think bad shocks can also cause or exacerbate what you are feeling. Better compression and rebound damping will help mitigate that floatiness.

lol. Forgot how light trucks are in the rear. It was raining a bit today and pulled out and back end fished twice. ?‍? like the Gladiator though it’s the best of both Jeep worlds
