It is $1100 for the rod kit, which includes both the tie rod and drag link. These are larger diameter than the Synergy rods. I think most folks won't go wrong with either. I have Currie because that was only option when I bent my OEM drag link six years ago. BTW: 15" rims will not fit with their tie rod, and my 16s barely do. Wheel balance weights are scraped off if not placed just so.

I had Currie on my jku for a year. Ripped 4 boots on theends and could never get the large nut to stay tight also it had some unnecessary movement which created clunking in the steering. Went back to Northridge 4x4 here in Denver and they couldn't figure it out so I called currie. They told me to put a drop pitman arm on my jk as the only solution. I said no and took the pos off. Been running synergy now for a few months and couldn't be happier. Not sure what is up with Currie but in my opinion there is a flaw in their latest design.

I ripped boots on my Currie rods, too. Replaced with a redesigned one that was metal and rubber, but it rattled a bit and was annoying. Now have a redesigned rubber boot and we'll see how that works.

Yea I think currie is priced a little high on a few things. However I think their rockjock axles are priced pretty good.

I have a synergy tie rod with brand new ends I may sale here soon.

throw a couple more light bars on the down force from them will balance out the bend in your tie rod.

No. That's not what I wrote. Please read again what I wrote. I don't blame anyone for opting for the Synergy--today I would. But please don't misrepresent what I wrote.

That's exactly what I did... Two weeks after bending I bought my 50" LMAO worked like a charm! I'm thinking about drifting it next!
