My understanding is that you have to have 3" of lift or you'll hit the drag link on the frame. So while yours may have resulted in enough lift, if your coils ever sag or get weighed down, it might become a problem. Not for everyday use but for offroad use. I think another solution is to add more bumpstop to the passenger side to prevent this as well.

Ah yes sorry... Multiple things being discussed here and I thought someone asked if a flipped DL can be installed with 2.5" of lift.

How much lift are you running? I only have 2.5 TF coil

I know people are throwing a lot of options at you, and it has been said before on other threads, but I'm very happy with my setup from Fusion 4x4. No flop and very beefy.

I ran the Synergy hi-steer correction kit for 2yrs on a TF 2.5in lift, as long as you use the TF 3in bump stops you won't hit the frame(I never did anyway) and I'm loaded down in front with heavy bumper and winch.
I off-road at least twice a month either pre-running trails for club events or bringing the club out.

2.5" rk lift actual up front ~2.75" not enough for the flipped.

Its basically a copy of the old Currie drag link. I ran one and really did not like the big tube clamps or how floppy it becomes as the TRE's wear. At least the Yeti is about $200 cheaper then the current Currie drag link which uses jamb nuts instead of the clamps for cleaner install.

I have the TF 2.5 spring lift, with added trackbar and adjustable lower front control arms.
for what its worth, I just replaced my DL in January with the TF unflipped HD DragLink + TieRod ( mine was done in by large rocks, I added a Fox SS because the stock was beat up too). Steering seems great now.

I don't see this ever flopping but I could be wrong. I know the tube clamps were not an issue on anything I'll do but I ain't running KOH either. For guys like me running 35" doing easier trails like moab, Rubicon and dusy it should hold up well. I know it will support a loaded jkur without bending.
