Default best/most user friendly high steer kit?

Ok fellas,

Been researching alot on the high steer kits w/track bar bracket.

From experience, is there one that out shines the rest?

I really love all things Synergy/Poly so I'm leaning that way. However I noticed they offer a TRE adapter in a 13/16 and 7/8 depending on drilled hole size.

Is there a reason why you'd drill a bigger hole?

I'd rather drill it out than spend $100+ on a tapered reamer I'll use once.

Thanks guys

Use the adapter and go 13/16 no real reason to go 7/8 unless you mess up

Stay muddy my friends

I went with a jeep jk right hand drive draglink and rough country raised trackbar bracket. Did the synergy 13/16 sleeve. Love this set up and have been helping a bunch of friends install it on theirs.

Soon to be changed a bit on my rig with an artec truss and trackbar mount, and finally putting my reid racing knuckles in that are high steer rdy. But the current setup works flawlessly.

Thanks....out of curiosity, why a RH drive DL?

Oh and those Reid's are on my Xmas list!

If you try to flip the stock one the bend will be the wrong way, the RHD Mopar draglinks bend the opposite way of ours. So they work as high steer draglinks for us. And vice versa, I'm sure crafty Aussie owners are getting LHD draglinks for their high steer kits.

I'd stick with the synergy. Best value for the money. Everything is beefier. Plus you like synergy.

I never understood the RHD flip (offroad evolution). If you are paying for a new steering setup, why would you choose a stock draglink, with stock ends?

And some interesting reading from a few days ago.
