Default Drag link flip kit !

Poking to upgrade my drag link along with a track bar relocation bracket to correct my roll centre. I'm having a hard time with bump steer and the jeep wanting to wonder all over the road . I recently added a teraflex track bar in the front, I'm located in Canada and the drag link kits are looking pricey compared to what I expected to pay. Anyone running a great kit to recommend to me ? Also looking on tie rod replacement options before getting a proper steering alignment done .

I'm sure that I'm in the minority here, but how about starting by filling us in on what you currently have, and the current alignment specs, before indiscriminately throwing money at it?

But yeah, I have Synergy too...

Filling out your profile does help with these type of questions.
I would agree with others if you are running 3.5"+ of lift then synergy is a good direction to go.

I have the synergy and while there's nothing wrong with it, you do have to drill the knuckle to use it. This is not difficult but it's time consuming and can be frustrating. Because my drilling wasn't great I had to fiddle with a couple different knuckle adapters synergy sent me before my flip was perect.

I see there are some new flips that you don't have to drill. Depending on your skill set and tools that might be a better way to go. Not sure which ones are no drill I think steer smarts or yeti?

Might just be my case, but I have a TF monster front track bar. When i did the high steer with synergy I had to keep my bump stops a little longer in front because the large hump of the track bar on the axle side getting crazy close to the pitman arm while flexing and turning passenger.

I'm looking at other options so I can get all my usable travel up front. I'm sure I could get another 1"-2" of up travel, but maybe that's just me. I like the track bar but don't want it limiting, or worse, contacting other parts.
