Replace Drag Link w/ aftermarket
Alright today I received my 35's, went to have them mounted and balance also get an alignment after putting my lift on! In the process of getting the alignment I was told that my drag link is pretty much shot and need a new one. My question is what is a good brand to run? Also I was looking at synergys drag link but the one I found was the high steer can someone chime in with feedback?!
Thanks!! Much appreciated

You do not have to flip it, it works perfectly fine in the stock location. Later, if you add a taller lift, you can then drill the knuckle, add the adapter and trackbar braket, and flip it.

'Drag link flip' and 'high steer' seem to be used interchangeably, they mean the same thing. You move the axle end of the draglink to the top of the knuckle, and you raise the axle end of the trackbar with a taller bracket.
You will also see the flip/high steer mfg's recommending that you add somewhere around 3" taller bumpstops to keep the trackbar from contacting the frame. For this, you generally want a 3" or taller lift. But, it varies. Some people will notch the frame and use less bumpstop. Some use the kit with shorter lifts. Just depends...
If you don't have a lift that is tall enough, you won't have a need for a flip in the first place, so it is a non-issue. Remove the stock bar and bolt the new one up.
The Synergy draglink works fine with the factory trackbar as long as you run the draglink in the stock location. You may find clearance issues using the factory trackbar with the synergy flip. (they actually redesigned their original trackbar so it could be used with their flip kit.)
