Default Synergy or Currie Track bar Bracket?

I'm working on adding a track bar relocation bracket to my front end to help with the steering. Trying to decide between Currie's bracket or Synergy's bracket.

I already have the Currect Lync, Synergy ball joints, and a 3" Evo enforcer lift. I'm not running a spare or winch, so guessing in on the high side of a 3" lift.

Which bracket should I choose? I like the Currie, but there isn't much info on it.

If you raise the track bar at the axle will you flip the drag link?

You will want to flip the drag link if you raise the track bar. They should run parallel to each other. If they're not, you have two connections to the axle traveling on different arcs.

I have synergy drag flip and relocation bracket and love the way my jeep handles now. Very high quality.

Yes, I'm flipping the drag link. Is there any reason not to do the Currie bracket when compared to Synergy?

The Synergy appears to relocate the sway bar links...and I already installed longer sway bar links. Unfortunately I threw away the originals. Judging by the pic on the Synergy website, they use the mounting hole of the original sway bar link to mount the bracket. This would be a problem.

I have Synergy tie rods on both my Jeep and my wife's. She also has a synergy D-Link with the flip kit and track bar.

I liked them at install but if you get winter salted roads they are pure hell to adjust after one winter. I had to use a torch the last time on my wife's and just as I was about to give up it finally broke free. Lots of anti-seize makes it better, but even that seems to only be a temporary fix.


I have no experience with the Currie, but is looks like pure beef and I am considering it to replace my Synergy.

With synergy, You don't have to relocate the sway bar links if you don't want to. I did, choose to just shorten my adj ones that came with the RK lift.

Personally, I like the Artec bracket.
