Jeep jk Evo rear bumper fascia + rear Currie AntiRock swaybar

[TormentedCrawler]

Hi all. Has anyone ever ran this combo. Recently purchased the rear bumper fascia and called offroad evolution. They mention it slips over the AntiRock bracket but I don't see how the physically possible.

I have the fascia, I can't imagine how it would slip over as its flush to the frame rail.

If it were me, I would NOT run an Antirock. They squeak like a banshee and they WILL LIMIT your flex.

Here is what my setup looks like:



But it is not flush because I believe that ORE did this to make room for the rear bump stops. Nonetheless, they still rub a little bit on the left side:



I have found that the Curries keep the rig quite level, but believe that this is at the cost of flex.

The squeeking for my setup was mostly due to the sway bar links. A couple of drops of gun oil ("CLP") solved that really well. I have not greased the bushings yet, so still some squeeking left there.

I've been running it for a while already and so far so good. Haven't had any issues with squeak

Nevada. Did you run the Currie bracket on top of the fascia

Give it some time and you'll see, or should I say "hear" what I talking about. That being said, I never said that it didn't work, just that it WILL limit your flex when compared to a stock sway bar.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Yes, I already had the fascia and the d-ring shackles installed when I dropped her off. They appear to have simply slapped the Currie bracket on top.

I guess you could cut the fascia if you wanted.

If I notch the bumper will 2 bolts on each side be sufficient enough.

On the fascia, I don't see why not?

I would hate to cut it though. I'll see if I can mount the brackets to the outside

All u have to do is cut a 1/4 inch off the currie antirock brackets where the torsion bar slipps thru.

so I could gain the extra 1/4" to protrude outwards?
