Default Getting ready to ovehaul front end - what am i missing?

My front end is getting wiggly on my ’14 JKUR. Got some bad TRE's so I figured it's time to go to town. Planning on doing rubicon trail this July so I figured I'd start beefing things up.
I plan on removing the axle in the next month or so and putting it up on my welding bench for ease of access.


Here's the parts I've acquired thus far:
Synergy tie rod
synergy drag (flip)
Synergy TRE tapered adapter
Synergy tie rod clamp for dampener (or very soon hydro assist)
Artec truss
Artec raised trackbar bracket (weld on)
Artec lower arm skids
EVO sleeves

I forgot to order ball joints so I'll need to order them next week

I currently have gussetts installed, solid diff cover and the MC trackbar.
Just running stock shafts for now - they seem to be holding up. I did already tack the caps on the joints.

What if anything am I missing? I want to make sure I have everything before pulling the axle.

I just did all of the synergy steering upgrades myself. I noticed you said you have a MC trackbar. Do you know if that will work with the flip?

I had the teraflex trackbar before. After I got everything put together it was easy to see there was not very much room. I ended up ordering the synergy track bar also. I just wanted to give you a heads up to check on it.

Hmmm... That is a good point. I guess I could always throw the stock one back on if it doesn't fit.

You'll be fine. I went last year with stock D30 (no gussets / no sleeves) and stock D44 (rear limited slip only). Only guy out of 16 rigs with no lockers.

Beefed up Synergy tie rod, Protek skids, D30 Rancho diff skid, aluminum Superlift D44 diff skid cover, & Raceline Beadlocks aired down to 10 psi helped to get me through. All of this on a 2.5" lift and 35's.

That's what I did until the synergy one came in. Good luck.

I would have possibly bought the MC bar from you.
