I have a RK and hate the jam nuts. I would spend a few dollars more and get the Tera Flex. Love my RK triple rate springs not so nuts about the track bar.

I agree. I find the RK jam nuts a major PITA. The Synergy stuff is nice because it can be adjusted on the Jeep. I currently have the TF and it's been solid for a couple years. The hardware for the clamp is shitty and needs to be replaced with grade 8 so you can actually get it right enough.

OP- Sorry I went a bit off topic. Between the two you mention I'd pass on the RC. The last RK TB I installed for a friend had two failures with the spherical joint causing death wobble within the first six months.

I think with the whole context of the post I believe he is recommending teraflex or synergy. I'll add in metalcloak

I've ran both RC and RK. No comparison between the two. rough country was rusty in less than a month but adjusted easily, RK is very beefy and high quality. Very hard to adjust though.

I got mine adjusted in about 10 minutes when I first put it on about a year ago, and haven't touched it since except when I had a loose jam nut tightened that up about a month after I put it on and haven't touched it since then
