RockJock Antirock Rear Swaybar Install

Just installed the universal RockJock Antirock swaybar onto the rear of the rig. This is the 45” crossbar with 18” arms. If you decide to do the same install please measure your own truck as the mounting placement will greatly determine what size you will need. The universal kit includes high-quality parts. The rods that connect the arms to your axle comes at 14”. My fabricator had to cut down the lengths, which is suggested by rockjock to make it work. I will be purchasing 8” rods for my particular needs. Again, this will depend on your measurements and decided placement. Wheel spacers may be needed.

You can mount under the frame as we did, or over the frame with enough bed clearance. WheelEveryWeekend on Instagram does his through the frame, which is super clean and can double as a mounting point if you decide to add longer shocks and do a shock relocation. We opted to mount under because of the previous suspension cage my fabricator had built.

The rig definitely has far less body roll. Also because of the body roll and higher center of gravity, my rear tires will often break loose on turns, I no longer have that problem. The rig is much more planted and squatted when going straight and on turns. It's also still very flexy.

 

Nice rear setup!

 

Thank you! It's getting there. The Kings are actually at Accutune right now getting extended lines and their Adventure tune.

 

What leafs you running? And size shocks?

 

AllPro Expeditions, KING Smoothie 12x2.5

 

How was it stuffing the 12” kings back there? Also what are you running up front?

 

I have 3-inch body lift so the added room up top allowed me to mount the crossbar 3 inches higher than a truck without a body lift. We also lowered the mounting point on the axle to accommodate for the longer king rod/shaft end. I get full compression and droop from the 12" shocks without having to cut into the bed. That being said, if I didn't have a body lift and wanted the mounting point on the axle higher, I would suggest staying with a 10" shock. The rears were also mounted a little more inboard towards the center to help with articulation, which caused a little more body roll, hence the swaybar install. It really depends on what you're trying o do. My goal was to build my rig to be able to go fast and crawl if needed. Jack of all - master of none. As far as fronts, I'm running extended 2.5 King coilovers with 650lb springs and JBA UCA's.

 

Do you know of anyone else running a rear setup like this, leafs with rear rockjock swaybar or similar? Your setup looks really good. I've been considering doing the exact same thing on my 2nd gen. I've got 12s too. Again, this looks clean, great job. Thanks for sharing.

 

There are three others running something similar to this setup. All on Instagram

@wheeleveryweeekend
He's a fabricator bassed out of Alpine, Ca. He's the first one I've seen do it to his 1st gen toyota tacoma. He plasma cuts a hole through the frame, and runs the tube for the antirock through. This is a cleaner way of doing it as you can use the cross bar from the antirock and use it as a shock relocation perch for 10" shocks. He is actually the first I've seen to install one on a toyota.

@Kodastacoma
He had his done by @wheeleverweekend and is set up identically.

Me. @rogieboy (on insta)
I mounted mine under the frame as my shock relocation towers would not allow me to go through the frame.

@utah_yota
He owns an FJ convereted into a truck, sas, and and pretty much custom everything. I believe his was done through frame also.

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

I'm glad I could help. Let me know if you have any other questions.
