i am always curious about all these threads about all the threads on all these steering mods...
I've got 37's with a 4" lift and I've never had any steering issues so far

In the case of the comments and picture from earlier today, the drag link was flipped to the top of the knuckle (as opposed to being lowered by your drop pitman), but the trackbar stayed right where it was (as opposed to being relocated by your bracket). So the bars in the pic started parallel to each other, and now, as we can see, they are not. (as opposed to yours that were both relocated and remained parallel to each other).
Just stole this pic from the Trackbar thread (thanks Trauma). See if you can tell the difference between it and the two D_engel quoted earlier...

Well after ready all these wonderful posts, from such helpful people (sarcasm if you did't notice) and sending Synergy some e-mails along with a photo of my current setup, I can say that. I have learned a good amount of info. I also have ordered the Synergy track-bar relocation bracket to address the issue.

Yes it is the same bolt, it is installed correctly. FOX includes a new track-bar bolt with the ATS stabilizer that utilizes the same bolt. If you do a search on YouTube they actually have a video done by FOX and Offroad Warehouse that shows the install.

Overall, first impressions on the drive home, very positive, I gained an additional 1.5 inches of lift, the ride on the road is mush smoother, and I would say the steering is a bit stiffer and more responsive.
I have however noticed that I now have just a bit of bump-steer that I never had before.

Start by taking a look at which components came with your 4" BDS lift. Are there any components that just might correct the steering angles? A raised trackbar bracket and drop pitman, perhaps?

Does it really make a big difference in the strength along that axis?
