i got those installed with the offset towards the outside, but now that i'm thinking about it, i should have asked to put that offset towards the inside, the damn instructions didn't say anything about the offset orientation, and my shop is not exactly an offroad shop, so they just followed my instructions :(
Should i go back and ask to switch them ?

Get a wrench. The Adjustable JJshould be on the axle side.

 

This is incorrect per synergy instructions. And yes the bend should be inwards not outwards, it helps with tire clearance when turning.

 

I love how every manufacturer is different.

 

Where exactly in the instructions does it say that? I'd love to see it, cause this setup looks wrong based on almost every other manufacturer's arms.

I'd still flip them around with the JJ on axle side and bend inward. Arms are arms are arms. There's nothing revolutionary happening with this set so I'd suggest to run it the same way almost all of them are designed to be run.

 

I agree. Tucking the adjustable arm up makes it real hard to adjust. Just saying.

 

Switch them around or your tires will rub them. Ask me how I know lol

 

It says it in step 4 of the install directions. Feel free to google and read for yourself.

 

And that's exactly how i indicated my shop to go ahead and install them, however there is nothing about orientation of the LCA bent portion, if it wasn't because of the light rub mark i have in both of them, i would've never realized the offset should be pointing inwards, damn it, and it's rubbing lightly with 33's

"4. Install the new control arms with the bushing at the axle end and the flex joint at the frame end. Position the arm with the pinch bolt and the grease zerk in the flex joint on the top of the control arm. Reuse the factory mounting bolts. We recommend installing the axle end control arm bolts from the inside so there is minimal rock damage to the exposed thread on the end of the bolt"

Makes sense, you have the new Duro joints right? Putting the JJ at the top with the adjuster protects it and the grease zerk. Vibration reduction is there no matter what side the JJ is on.
