Re installing fac sway bar

I have an 06 Rubicon on four inch lift, 35 inch rubber, and a (stupid) SKY JACKER "ROCK-LOC" swaybar. I am getting a ton of body roll at hwy speed and I think that the culprit is this "ROCK-LOC".

So, here is the Q:
This "swaybar" has a lot of side to side movement, is this meant to be? or does mine have busted bearings? the thing jiggles

Instructions says that it is meant to be in the 4x4 position when pavenment driving...4x2 off road. But, WAY too much body roll on 4X4, so I keep it in the 4X2 opt.

Is this just a piece of junk? Does anyone use this rock-loc? I need a studier ride in hwy its hard just to keep it in between the lines! I keep thinking I will get pulled over for suspicion of DD one of these days.

BTW, yes, I have checked alignment, weights, and tire pressures...

Any ideas on what to do now?

thanks
 

a regular sway bar doesn;t move side to side or jiggle.

i keep my factory sway bar on too. there were a number of sizes available for the yj and i have the largest diameter of them. i would hate not having a sway bar, or one that didn;t work well
 
It states that the one hole closer to the axle will give a softer ride. And the one in the front, closer to the front bumper, will give a stiffer ride. Did you try to move the link to the one up front?
 
Yes, I initially had it in the middle hole. It was actually much worse in terms of stability. Once I relocated to the first hole (closer to front bumper) it did give it a stiffer ride but not yet satisfied.

I guess, I will shop around for a factory swaybar. A wide diameter one sounds good.
