Correct castor after a lift, help with keeping your steering feel more like stock. Many ppl with do a dropped pitman arm which is a very bad idea.

Doesn't do anything for castor. After a lift it places your trac bar and drag link parralel so they operate in the same arc and you don't end up with bumpsteer. Uusally not needed unless lift is great than 3.5 inches. You also need to be aware that if you flip the drag ling you either need to raise the trac bar at the axle or drop it at the frame. I am going with synergy, some vendors just repackage a chrysler right hand drive drag link. Synergy makes a beefier rebuildable, greasable drag link.

I just helped a friend install the Synergy draglink flip and track bar relocation bracket on his Jeep yesterday. The Synergy componets are beefy. The install wasn't hard, the most difficult part was gettting the stock draglink to release from the pitman arm. One issue we did run into was his BDS swaybar disconnects wouldn't work with the track bar relocation bracket, there was not enough room between the stock tab and the bracket to get them on and off and they were to long to mount on the upper hole on the bracket. We ended up putting a set of stock links on for now.

So all there is to a flip kit is a replacement drag link, and a track bar bracket?

If you're already having work done that's going to move the track bar, (Artec trusses for instance) then all you're looking for is the replacement drag link?
