Seems to be a common issue....was it ever resolved?
No issue with my sway bar link and front coils on my RK 3.5 suspension.

If you are going to roll around in the sand, you are over building with RK stuff...not that there is a problem with that, your money. If you plan to really wheel it, you can't do better than RK IMO and it is worth the wait.

Are any of you using a Drag link flip package to eliminate or correct death wobble with this kit?

I am running a high steer (flip kit) but I have the Synergy one. I am running the Synergy tie rod and drag link with an EVO track bar bracket and Reid Knuckles . My steering is phenomenal compared to running stock components. Absolutely no bump steer at all and effortless steering. prior to this setup my steering was very loose (becasue of a wobbled out draglink mount on stock knuckle)...but never had death wobble

And to clarify, the high steer kit does not solve death wobble necessarily. depends on what is causing the DW. A lift kit on its own will not cause DW. It has to be something not torqued properly (usually a track bar) or some other issue like ball joints or draglink bolt being loose. A flip kit will simply bring your steering geometry back to stock (or close to) settings to give you a tigher more responsive wheel.


If you stick with the 3.5" lift then a flip kit is a good idea as it makes daily driving better. I still think you should go smaller on your lift based on your driving.....



EDIT*** I only did the synergy setup over RK because I like the tie rod ends with the synergy kit better. But the RK flip kit is very nice and equally solid.

I run the RK drag link flip and Pro tie rod. It is a very nice steering upgrade, nice and tight. I run the Moog TRE's that many have had issue with...so far they have been fine.

Helps with bump steer, not DW

I wonder if RK will sell me just the parts I need out of their JK Ultimate Steering Package? I'll already have the double adjustable track bar with their kit I ordered. JK Ultimate Steering Package

Call them, they should be able to sell you what ever parts you need.

I had the track bar as well. Bought the tie rod and drag link separately

To the best of my knowledge, all orders from February are well in transit or have been delivered. We did get a little behind with our move. Prior to that we were running 3 to 5 business days which is where we like to be.

Northridge did get a stocking order last week so please give them a shout. They are good people with great customer service.

mpkelley20 - Great posts! Your knowledge is right on point! That is great to see...

If anyone has any questions regarding our products, feel free to give us a shout. We love to talk Jeep! Good luck with your builds.

RK

Called earlier to order front and rear bump stops and the high steer package minus the front track bar. Lady that answered the phone tried to take the order and got confused, told me she would have a tech call me back....that was 4 hours ago.

Wait for RK. 10 days is not long. If they told you a month+, then may consider something else. I'd still say to wait though.

Took mine 2 weeks to arrive. Well worth the wait.

Definitely do the driveshaft and drag link flip with a 3.5".

Definitely waiting, they said they were going to ship by the 29th.

I still need to order the drag link flip, hopefully they call tomorrow or another vendor chime in....
