Love my deavers. No problems with body roll anywhere, though I do want an antirock to keep the front end under control at higher speeds offroad.

you ever played around with the sway-loc dual rate bar? I'm starting to like it over the antirock. almost to the point of buying one for the rear.

No, can't say that I have.

I've got some wheeling buddies that run the AntiRocks and they love 'em on and off road.

I don't see the need. The jeep does everything I ask it too. I wouldn't go coils, I'd go straight to coilovers.

When asking about shock lengths, keep in mind that some of us that have replied here do not have our shocks mounted in the stock location.

true, mine are mounted through the rear floorboard at a 25-30 degree angle, and my axle side mounts are at the centerline of the axle tube

What advantages is there to mounting inside? How do you guys seal the cargo area around the shocks?
