Hey all. I have a 07 jku with a 3" Mopar stage 3 lift w fixed arms and fox dual reservoirs.I added 2" coil spacers front and rear to make a total 5".this was all done years ago and I was thinking about removing the coil spacers for better stability and control since the mops kit was designed for 3" of lift.
Do I need to remove all the shocks or can I just compress springs with a tool and slide them out?

 

While taking the picture I noticed my synergy front track bar Bracket split in 2 😳
Is this common ? I've been getting death wobble recently so I ordered some teraflex hd ball joints and along with that they will align the jeep again but I'm thinking this maybe part of the issue also.
Can I just have someone weld it , seems like that would be easier then pulling it and reinstalling ?

 

Well, considering this is the most important component on the front end of the jeep, may as well just JB weld it.

In all seriousness, do not drive that thing and replace it as you should. It is what holds your axle under the jeep horizontally. This does not call for a patchwork repair. To your original question, you will likely need to unbolt the lower shock bolt and the TB in order to get enough droop to get them out.

 

You're right, I just uploaded the pics in my comment so you can see what I'm talking about. It just seemed to be an easy weld spot but i can just order a new

 

Ok, I'm an idiot....I missed the "bracket" part of the comment above. I had been thinking how the hell a TB splits in two. Looks like Synergy's bracket there? That is pretty surprising to see that split. Curious how old that is? You probably would be ok to just weld that now seeing what you're talking about, but I question why it snapped in the first place and still think I'd pay for a new bracket just for peace of mind since you're not talking that much money.

That should go a long ways in resolving the wobble issue as well. It takes so little play in the TB to cause a wobble, and just a little movement in the bracket would be enough to do that.
