Synergy has been out for a long time and are proven reliable. Alloy USA are actually Rugged Ridge and they just came out so no one has owned them long enough to test them. However, as others have stated, they look virtually identical to the synergy ones so......

Also, synergy just dropped their prices by $50 so thinking that there may be some truth to them being identical to the alloys.

They are both the same price from northridge so I guess I will go with one that has the longest track record.

Tried finding any mention, but are the synergy's adjustable? Looks like the only option I have is Moog for adjustable ball joints.

Nope, the synergy ones are not adjustable. The Moogs are your best bet.

I got to ask, why do would we want adjustable ball joints?

I just bought the MOOG brand at the local parts store, 370.00 bucks for all 4
