Im currently in the process of doing some front end maintenance after the last wheeling season. I'm currently running a Rock Krawler 2.5" stock mod lift with Billstein 5100. I've got the RK adjustable front track bar and I've upgraded my tie rod to the Ruffstuff one. Running 17" rims with 4.5" of backspacing.

I'm now looking to upgrade my drag link and wanted some opinions on what to get. I do not want to break the bank and would prefer to stay under 200$ and also not have to drill anything out. I just need something a little better than stock but nothing outrageous. Something greasable would be nice too.

Thanks for any help!

 

I'm running the same suspension set-up myself with a Synergy tie rod. Like it because it has 1-ton tie rod ends that are greasable. Maybe not exactly in your $200 budget, but I'd recommend the Synergy drag link myself. That's what I run and it's much beefier than the stock pretzel stick and not overly expensive. I've been happy with it so far. That'd be my recommendation unless you want something from Rock Krawler, Currie, JKS, etc.

I would look at the Synergy upgrade. It's a direct bolt-on and can be run in the stock location or flipped on top if you go larger in the future. It uses the same TRE on both sides so carrying a spare will fit either side. We have plenty of these in stock, give me a call at 866-601-5340 to get one ordered.

Synergy Suspension Jeep JK High Steer Drag Link (PPM-8001)

 

I believe Synergy is what I am going to go with on my setup. From what I have I seen and researched on it, is seems to be great product with a lot of good reviews.

Was between Evo or Synergy of Drag Link Flip Kit. Plan on going bolt on coilovers with my lift.

Flip Kit, tie rod, trackbar and steering stabilizer are on my list of stuff to pickup. So I think I will go with Synergy for the steering components.

 

+4 for synergy

 

That is for a draglink flip. (Adding a raised trackbar bracket and moving the draglink to the top of the knuckle). Not something most people consider with only 2.5".

and x5 or whatever on synergy, since that is what I am running.

 

Me and my buddies run synergy steering and their stuff has been great until we snapped a brand new drag link where Golden Spike & Rusty Nail meet.

Made for a super long day. 2 jeeps drove to the house to drop the girlfriends off and we pulled my drag link then ran the trail for a 2nd time so we could get the third jeep off the trail.

Nothing is bullet proof

 

Lol Jim had a chuckle he saw my stock one holding up and told me about the one you guys broke .... Guess I should upgrade soon or just get one now as a spare especially with the heavier beadlock wheels and tires etc

 

Go with the TMR 2.5 ton steering. Locally built & massive

 

That's like $700 no? Ben mentioned something from them..... Fairly easy install? You know my set up.
