Other than the Currie Rock Jock what do y'all recommend?
The RJ does not need to be disconnected, which is nice.
Teraflex makes some sort or street/trail system that had a manual disconnect - I don't know too much about this one.
Because of issues I've had in not to enthusiastic about the factory e-disconnect.
Thoughts/suggestions?
If you are going to upgrade axles, add ARB air lockers etc anyways, paying for the factory stuff which will fail does make much sense.
Great comment though.

I have an anti-rock in the front and a stock sway bar in the rear and I have zero complaints.
I am not keeping this Rubicon.
Guess i should have assumed that because of a faulty sway bar, youd get rid of the whole damn jeep lol
Aside from widdling a swaybar out of wood, every option has pretty well be covered. Im saying this thread could have been 1 page long if everyone knew what was actually going onYou're operating under the assumption of that begin the reason I'm getting rid of the Jeep. You haven't asked any questions or consider that Chrysler could be purchasing the Jeep back and that I would be starting over which is why I am asking what other options and experiences have people had with different products.

The question is and was, what are swaybar options for non Rubicon JK's. This is not a question filled with complicated rocket maths.
I do have a Rubicon. A 2014 JKUR. Which is completely irrelevant since the line of questioning is not and has not been about JK Rubicons.
I have continually stated I am considering a non Rubicon JK and a few people are stUck on the fact that I have a Rubicon. That alone doesn't make sense.
I asked about a few options, then asked what else is out there that will perform well. Apparently that makes people upset because they didn't pay attention to the words in the thread.

When the thread first started people asked you why you want to get rid of the sway bar. You said that you have had nothing but problems and are considering a non Rubicon model. I'm pretty sure, 99.9% of us thought you were still talking about sway bars and not a whole different jeep! This could have been clarified by you if you said what the problems were. Instead you said too long to list but many many issues so everyone kept going on about sway bars....
I think this has been said before multiple times on this forum before but not in this thread - unless you have the cash to build your whole rig all at once it makes sense just to buy the Rubicon. The parts you take off such as axles, sway bar, transfer case will have more value than sport take offs.
So can I buy your rubicon motor? I'll trade you a factory one until you figure out which aftermarket one you want to buy. Let me know.
I said many times I am considering a non Rubicon model.
If you pay for a Rubicon and change out all the Rubicon bits, you still paid for a lot that you tossed. Plus tax and interest.
If I have decided that I am going to use a Dynatrack axle for example, I can save a bunch of cash by not purchasing the Jeep that had a Dana44 and an e-locker that I'm going to toss.
So other than the Currie and Teraflex, what else is really available that will perform well?
From what I've read, the Currie is designed to be run with the front and rear RJ swaybars. I understand this is softer than factory but that won't kill me. I've driven Jeeps around just fine with no swaybar connected in the front and not found myself dead.
The Teraflex had the manual little hub lookin' doohickey to disconnect. I haven't talked to anyone who's used this product though.
One thing I don't like about the factory Rubicon e-disconnect is the 18 mph limit and that it always attempts to link back up after the ignition has been shut off - annoying. I also don't think I'll be purchasing the factory e-disconnect for whatever I get if I decide to get a non Rubicon model.
Most of my drive time is spent on dirt, mud, and rutted roads, sometimes with rail crossings, so I want something that I can disconnect and not think about or like the Currie, just not worry about.
I don't have a picture on hand of the roads, fields, and mountains but this should give you a little bit of an idea. You're out there and you're driving at more than 18 mph on these roads.

Do your choices come down to Currie or Teraflex? Eddie mentioned something else but I was under the impression if was for Rubicon models.
