Default Synergy tie rod

I've heard a lot of good things about the synergy tie rod. Opinions are there any other that are better? Any had problems with them? Pretty much what's the best tie rod for the best price?

I haven't found one that can beat the ruff stuff tie rod. That's what I wound up buying and have zero complaints. Very beefy and very cheap

Just did this. If you have 15" rims you'll need to move the rim out. I have 4.50" backspacing and needed a 1/4 inch spacer so tie rod ends didn't hit the rime. other then that.. it's a beast!!

Ruff Stuff bend pretty easy.

The stock 17" rims need a spacer, too, correct?

I just got my Synergy a few weeks ago. Northridge talked me into it. It's relatively cheap, strong, can be adjusted while on the Jeep, and it is the stock diameter so you don't have to buy a different stabilizer bracket!

Had a friend bend his Synergy( not sure how he did that), and Synergy sent him a new bar.
