Rear Sway Bar Questions

Jeeeep's dial has a white section in the middle that is standard. Looks like first pic is 5/8" and second pic is 3/4".
 
Yeah so I guess it is closer to 3/4". Still not 5/8" though.

I love that shot, especially now that I have pretty much the same thing, but with the Currie AntiRock sway bar. I see where the mounts are for the stock sway bar at the bottom of the EVO lever cage. So now I wonder why ORE recommends the Currie Antirock in place of the stock one. Could it just be fitment issues? As I learn more about the rig, I wonder if my XD60 will have the same hang up and not reach it's true flex potential as it would with the stock sway bar, the limiting straps notwithstanding.

Drew had mentioned the Anti Rock rear sway bar when I picked my Jeep up, that if I have any problems running a stock sway bar I could upgrade later. I believe he said the only reason to get it would be a small gain in ground clearance. I passed on it because the stock sway bar is already fairly high up and I'm not worried about it. I don't see it being an issue.

Here's a shot of just how much your factory rear sway bar will supposedly "restrict" your flex.

Please note that my limiting strap is taught.

I should also note that aftermarket sway bar systems like the Currie Antirock WILL LIMIT your flex. At SEMA last year, I drove Moby up a tall stand so that it could be put on display in front of the Dynatrac semi without any problems. I was then asked to ramp an identically setup JK only with an Antirock - it almost flopped due to the limited flex and so they decided to leave it on the ground.

Idk Eddie really looks like your 7/8 thick swaybar is really holding you back from getting your limiting strap even tighter
 
Now Im going to have to dig up a tape

Best picture I have with droop. Sorry I'm not using a mc trailer to test.

Since you didn't use the trailer, your point is not valid. [emoji16]

Yeah, this is getting way out of hand. I've included a picture of the proper measuring tools. Don't ask me to explain how to use them, I don't have time for that shit.

Thank you for this, I've had these tools for a while now and apparently I was using them wrong when working on brakes. Glad to know. [emoji106]

HOLY F*&K How I Do Love Me Some F*&CKING Intrawebs!!!

Lol.

Has anyone tried putting used engine oil on the bar for additional flex?

I did, it helped. It slipped around so much side to side and lubed the bushings that it got into a brake line and bent it all up. So I took the sway bar off and sold it for scrap metal. I like to live dangerously.

Ok sorry for the thread revival, but do you know your spring rate here at full droop?
 
Other than Currie anti rock what would be the best way to get the rear to articulate more with out disconnecting.

Leave the stock one one. Nothing else needed. Problem solved and you just saved money. I also merged your thread here to an existing one. Hopefully you can find all of your answers here.
