Or if you want you could buy lower shock relocation brackets that move the lower mount up and use the 2" rated shocks. You'll gain ground clearance in the rear that way too

Hello I don't know if it was previously mentioned. Sorry if so. I currently am running your tie rod and drag link and it's with a rough country 6inch lift. I know the tie rod can be flipped but I'm not sure what all I'd need to do to flip your drag link. What drilling and what tres I'd need to get if any. Any and all help would be great.

Thats the old style DL. All you need to do is buy a adapter from Synergy, drill and flip it. Looks pretty rusty i would replace the joint which is iirc a stock joint 52060049-AE

Ok thank you very much. It is quite rusty. Being in my and Maine it's quite common. I'm in the process of painting everything now. But appreciate the advice. I'll see if I need a new tre. So just the synergy sleeve. Thank you. Also these parts are hefty and tough as hell👌👍👍 I'm sure you hear it all the time.

Swap Lift Kit?
I have a 3.5 Mid Arm Flex kit with Bilstein Shocks and front/rear track bars on my 2012 JK. I'm in the market for a 2016 JKU. How much of that will swap over to the new JKU? I'm pretty sure I'd have to replace the springs, but would everything else work okay?

Everything will. Well the rear TB bracket back then was weld on so you will need a new bracket. How much height you looking for ? You may be able to swap the coils.

Like Ken said, everything that's not welded on. Your 3.5" coils on a JK will give you about 2.5" on a JKU. The JKU springs are stiffer on a JK than a JKU, so keep that in mind if you swap everything. You can probably find a set of JK springs on CL. I have a set that's been up there for a while. :( Not a high demand for them.
