Front sway bar - BOSS Walker Link or Rock Jock?

[Ft. Worth Rob]

I had emailed them a year ago and asked about it:

“at full lock left or right with stock wheels it can rub the end of the antirock. In order to avoid it you would need more offset, only with 35” tires do you get the rub. It won’t damage the tire it will just rub paint on the arms.”

0 offset to prevent rubbing for 35s

I have the RJ with 35x11.5 Falken Wildpeak R/T’s on 17x8 +25mm offset wheels and no rub but it is close.

I have the Walker Links, and considered all of the previously mentioned options. Cost was definitely a factor in my choice but I found that my primary use (High Speed Desert) the Walker Links were also the functional better option (its what they are designed for after all). The OEM Sway Bar Disconnect reconnects at 25mph so if I'm running 60-70mph in the sand it isn't going to help at all. RockJocks may have done the trick for me, but I got a GREAT deal on the Walker Links from BOSS, and that made the decision for me. So far I have no complaints, the Walker Links eat up the bumps and really smooth out the ride when I'm out in the desert going faster than I should be, and abusing the Wildtrak. Hopefully the Hoss 2.0 holds up!

Sounds like your solution is good for your use case, but FYI if you self-install the OEM Sway Bar Disconnect, it never reconnects unless you turn it off (wired to AUX switch to disconnect).

I did not know that! Might have changed my decision, but I'm happy where I am for now. Might think about it later when I need to upgrade the suspension. I don't think the Hoss 2.0 is going to hold up very long to my driving style.

Any updates with the Walker links?

I had manual disconnects on my 2021. Going to be installing Walker Links on my 2025 since it was nearly half the cost of RJ during Black Friday. I’ll report back.

I also wasn’t a fan of disconnected 100% of the time - but, I’ve where there’s a lot of windy roads.

Only received them a week or so ago. Haven’t had a chance to install with all this snow in the Northeast. They are really nicely made. That’s for sure.

The OEM E-Disconnect sway bars are available used for $125-250...several of us have acquired them for a great deal. Can be used at any speed in ANY mode!!!..Far better choice than the aftermarket. In my opinion.

I ended up going with the Carli. Is it easier to assemble the sway bar first and then put it on the vehicle or install it on the vehicle piece by piece. I hope that makes sense.

Both rockjock and walker are effetely just “weaker bars”…I went with the badlands disconnect on a switch…best of both worlds imho…

That's true of the rockjock, but the walker links are better described as a link extender, when once extended provides the same anti-sway (since the thickness of the anti-sway bar is the same), the extension however providing more articulation...
