Same diameter as the stock bar but they are chromoly and have one ton ends. I know a couple people running them that do similar trails to what you and I do and havent heard any complaints. From what I understand you dont have to turn the rod to adjust the toe in and out which is a plus.

Removed the jack awhile ago. Clunks are definitely in the front.

Synergy's drag link is the same way; Much easier to adjust. I'm going to keep the crap shack Ruff Stuff I have and wait until it bends like your old one!!! Ruff stuff lost my biz.

Hope you can figure it out. Tomorrow I'll be deep in changing out the oil, filter and removing the oil pan. Got a leak from when I put the EVO oil pan skid on...... Took the fast way which was not drain the oil... Well that was a bad idea. So I decided to drop the oil pan, buy a rubber/ steel gasket and replace the bolts with studs. I'll post up pictures what I'm talking about. Plan on doing the same setup with the trans pan.

From the factory it comes a silicon gasket seal. So a good couple months ago I bough a rubber/ steel core seal. Dropped the EVO skid plate then the oil pan. Scrapped off the silicon and then broke out the gasket.............Wrong F'ing size. They gave me the seal for the top of the oil pan not the oil pan it's self....... Now the Jeep will site in the garage until this coming week!!!!!!

That sucks. What's the advantage of using studs vs bolts?

Think I fixed the clunk. Loosened all the control arm bolts and track bars, shook the crap out of the Jeep and retorqued everything. No steering or reverse clunk. I forgot I bought a 9/16 bolt kit a while ago so I swapped those in. Axle side control arm bolts had a mm or two of play with stock bolts. Only clunk now is when I hold the drag link and have someone turn the steering wheel side to side, I can feel a clunk. Brand new Synergy drag link so I dunno. Maybe pitman arm?
