Currie AntiRock Setup

So, it came today! Anxiously unpacked it and mocked it up and sure enough it fits! I will be getting installed this weekend as well as the new TC sway bar for their mid travel 2” setup. So excited to have some road manners soon!
Having trouble getting the photos up but it is a direct bolt on for my truck!
Good to hear! Wish I was still working, I'd be ordering one already!
The picture upload issues for me was having to resize, especially phone pics. This site doesn't like anything over 1 mega byte. If your a pc user, the "Paint" app does a pretty painless resize. Reducing to 20% usually is still a good size for the page, but 30 to 40 will still upload, depending on the size of the original I think.
 
So I finally got it all installed this weekend. Got the rear Anti-Rock setup on the and got the new Total Chaos sway bar on the front. Ended up installing the 10.5" rods for the link attachment in lieu of the 14" guys (at the Antirock). Going to call Currie today to make sure the setup is looking good for the trail. The front was a pain and still not certain I will be good with the resi's (with regards to the clearance needed for the sway bar to pivot). We did our best at re-welding them to get them as high as they could go. The Total Chaos directions will not work with the resi's and hoses that come with the 2" extended travel kings with CDC resis. Going to try and get out this weekend to test her our.

So for all of you that want to get the AllPro AntiRock setup you are good to to go. You will still need to figure out the right rod length for your setup though.

I've got the same shocks with my +2" kit. You can loosen and rotate the fittings so the reservoirs look like this, might give you more clearance if you want to take the time to re-fabricate a mounting bracket that is.



 
When you rotated the fittings/loosened them did you loose any pressure in the resi's? Or did you have any issues with the shocks that you had to sort after? Reason I ask is because I asked King and TC if I could do exactly what you said and they said no to messing with the fittings...

I didn't hear any pressure loss, I followed this article. I guess the shock has a schrader valve I could probably check the pressure if I had a gauge that went to 150psi. Not sure how much pressure I would loose just by checking it though, its a small volume compared to something like a tire.

Don't check your nitrogen pressure with anything but a no loss chuck like the one at the bottom of my pic. Got this one earlier this year and it made a big difference.

[MENTION=130999]Inv4drZm[/MENTION] is right about the amount of volume and the high pressure. Just putting the regular guage on it will possibly result in over half your pressure being lost and you won't get an accurate reading anyway.

The seals in the res should keep the nitrogen that is stored in the end of the res separated from the oil by design, so if your careful you can manipulate the fittings with out losing very much oil. A thimble full of oil won't hurt the shock operation, but I think it can be done only losing a fraction of that amount if your careful. I just rebuilt my 5th gen shocks last fall, so I'm pretty sure you can do this. I actually lost about that much when I did my first install on the 5th gen years ago, so I contacted King and they said it shouldn't be a problem because there is several ounces of oil in each shock. I used almost a gallon of oil for all four shocks in my rebuild process last fall, so a thimble full is not that much.

Can you make an upright bracket (pictured) that mounts between the frame and the ASB bracket work?

I actually recommend anyone with nitrogen shocks of any brand that have schrader valves to get a set up like this. King has one that is a $100 but I think my set up works great. Once I properly checked my pressures, they were all lower than recommended. The secondaries I don't think were ever pressurized, they were at zero (yikes!). I have a feeling that all these shocks are pressurized when shipped, but not up to specified numbers. I pumped up my buddies Kings on his Taco, which were about 50 to 75 psi low. You should always check and fill pressures at full extension/droop of the shock. He could feel the difference on the way home. I know they felt better on both my trucks when done properly. Watch Ben's rebuild video for reference because he addresses nitrogen pressures at the end.
Anti Rock looks great by the way! Good Luck!!
