@Frankie945 thank you, saved me the headache of returning the setup.

You’ll need at least zero offset. Mine rubbed at full lock with 35s and stock Sasquatch wheels. I ended up putting 1.2wheel spacers on and added 37s with zero rubbing.
Here’s a pic before adding the wheel spacers. I couldn’t hold the wheel full lock while I took the pic but will give you an idea how close it was.(at full lock it does rub)

And on a side note. I did hear Rock Jock has the rear antirock done and it’s going through its testing. Don’t quote me but from what I’ve heard you need to buy the AFE exhaust to relocate the oem muffler to make room for it.

Sorry, just to be sure -- these don't clear the Sasquatch tires?? Seems like a pretty big oversight. Am I missing something?

Nothing to with the tires... The wheels need a zero offset. Factory SAS wheels are +35mm(?) offset. Most/many aftermarket wheels run lower offset.

Ah okay, so Sas package + RockJock's = no rubbing? Thank you. As a WT owner I'm really pressed on a solution and the RockJocks seem to be the most optimal from cost & benefit standpoint.

According to the earlier post you quoted, you need at least a zero offset rim (aftermarket) or appropriate spacers on the stock wheels.

Looks like we get a sneak peak at the rear antirock that isn’t released yet. While on their site yesterday I noticed the AFE high clearance exhaust you will need for it is now listed.

Update:

I've had an intermittent low speed clunk from my driver's front corner. I assumed it was the sway bar end link, and it was.

I re-read the instructions, and they talked about potentially making one end link slightly longer than the other to avoid pre-load, instead of both of them the same length like I had set them.

I removed the sway bar end links to the LCA, set one end link as short as it can go, installed that link to the LCA, then played around slightly lengthening the other side.

This completely got rid of my clunk noise and the front end feels better.

I must have had a slight amount of preload.

Sounds like droney garbage.

But very cool about the new rear sway.

I've got the OEM rear sway on my two door and will be sticking to it.

I feel like this Rock Jock rear would introduce too much sway for my liking, since my Bronco sees a lot of street miles, but awesome for the big time wheelers here.

Rear Antirock now on their website. Looks interesting check out the installation directions.

I'm a novice so please don't judge but...

If removing or disconnecting a Front sway bar is better for off-roading, why is it better for off-roading to have a Rear sway bar?

It’s not always better to remove a front sway bar. Yes it adds more travel in your front suspension but then you loose stability and traction aids especially in off camber situations. Having a tuned torsion bar (antirock) keeps the tires on the ground and in return you get traction and more stability.

Having a rear antirock just adds more stability and traction yet still gives you the same amount of flex without any limiting. Oem sway bars will limit your suspension travel.

Ah, very interesting. I've heard about the stability concerns with disconnected sway bar but I always thought those applied only to on-road street driving. Interesting to hear that the RockJock can provide alleviate that concern off-road.

Antirock swaybar’s are well known in the Jeep world and have been for awhile. They are proven to be beneficial off road. All the good builds have them for a reason.

How much of a spacer will you need if you do not upgrade to 37s and remain stock sas with the 35s?

I think you would be safe with 1” it just barely touches it. On mine it only barely touched when I turned to one side full lock. You can get them after you installed the antirock. Everyone likes a different look but I think 0 offset wheels look the best on the bronco, gives the perfect amount of poke. To get zero offset with the oem Sasquatch wheel I think you need 1.25 or 1.5” spacers. Been awhile I can’t exactly remember.
