Ok so im still new at wheeling but my question is there anyway to make my rear end more comfortable while wheeling I disconnect my front swaybar and the front feels like a Cadillac but the rear sucks. I do not have aftermarket rear control arms. Will those help? And I was thinking currie anti rocks? Thanks for the help.

Lol, sounds normal. Antirock isn’t going to help the way it feels and neither will different control arms. Honestly though the front is always going to ride smoother compared to the rear because it’s heavier, if that makes sense. Not sure what kind of lift your running but if you have running something with stiffer springs then obviously that’s going to play a part in it as well.

I don't recommend it but if you want proof that your rear sway bar IS NOT causing your ride discomfort, temporarily remove it.

A VAST majority of ride comfort comes from your coils. More than likely, the soft portion of your dual rate coils is running solid and that's leaving you riding on the firm side. This is a common problem with dual, triple and variable rate coils.

Rear "comfort" is a tough thing to chase. I swapped coils twice, played with my shock setting a bunch, and ended up adding an additional spacer. The weight you carry, the spring stiffness, and the shocks all have to be tuned to work together.

I think I've finally gotten mine figured out, but every rig is going to be different. Good luck! 🍻
