What issues did you find with running the RE in the stock position? I am trying to decide what advantages the flip offers?

Thanks,

My Yeti drag link and tie rod will be here Monday. I think second strongest although pretty far from the yeti is metalcloak then synergy. You get what you pay for.

You are going to love it. The quality is 2nd to none and very easy to adjust. You may want to ad some anti-sieze although the threads are e-coated prior to powder. I did anyways but only because i live in the rust belt.

Ps DallasJKU mentioned getting his on Monday as well.

Yea I don't know how I could go wrong. Saw some of your old threads on another forum which was helpful. I have the MC 3.5" and no issues wth bump steer so I opted for the standard set up instead of the flipped DL. Couldn't really find a good reason to flip it although secretly I wanted to be convinced haha

The steering knuckle joint on my stock drag link went out at about the same mileage (22K). Replaced the drag link bar with a Synergy drag link with no regrets. Very solid product which I can service myself. There are many good products out there and ultimately your budget should dictate what you buy. Good Luck

Thanks,
Running it in the stock position didn't allow me to run my steering stabilizer relocation bracket so I took all of that crap off. The steering locks need adjustment so the drag link itself doesn't touch the track bar bracket. It just barely kisses the head of the track bar bolt right now. I'm looking at replacing the mount with the artec mount to see if that changes anything so I don't have to adjust the steering stops......just haven't gotten that far yet. Steering stops are easy, I just don't want to do them.
