X2. Really tightened up the front end along with the Synergy tie rod.

You could probably even find some more information in the 'other' synergy drag link in stock position thread a bit further down here on this first page. :wink:

I don't remember the dates I started buying synergy components, but I think I ran the drag link in stock position for about a year and a half while getting around to adding the tie rod and trackbar, then finally adding the bracket and flipping.

For install reference, depending on length of your shocks, you won't want to flip for a high steer. With the long shocks I run, I'm stuck with a high steer bracket and synergy drag adapter sleeve not being used because my track bar would hit the frame. Could avoid this with longer bump stops, but I wanted to keep the longer travel.

If I buy this drag link let me know if you'd be willing to sell your brackets. I may be interested.

Did you get your drag link installed? I dont mean to hi-jack your thread. Im in the process of installing this, but have no experience. I have both sides in and am trying to tighten the jam nut but the drag link bend seems to swing down and hit the tie rod. Am i missing something. Thanks in advance.

A third hand will really help. Have someone hold tool of your choice on the joint, you hold the drag link with your right hand and tighten jam nut with left. I used a C clamp to hold the joint straight while I tightened up the jam nut. Maybe give that a shot.

I am not quite sure what you mean by joint. I do have a C clamp. Im still at work but wondering now. Is there a jam nut on each side? The one that I was trying to tighten was the one by the pitman arm. I am horrible at this:doh:! I might have to go find a joint to smoke after this!
