Default Steering Stabilizer Flip

I can't remember which flip bracket brand I have (I think it may be Rancho) but it does not allow the Teraflex steering stabilizer to fit properly. I think I have been ruining the bushing on my steering stabilizers because of this. I have a brand new Teraflex 9550 and wish to purchase a compatible flip bracket. Northridge has a kit that has the JKS bracket along with the 9550 so I know that bracket is compatible. I have Synergy Tie rod and Drag Link and I have heard this actually positions the stabilizer even higher which may be nice for me since the plastic shield of the stabilizer rubs my drag link and tie rod slightly.

Any recommendations on flip brackets and what works well with my existing brand new stabilizer? It all started this weekend when my tie rod collar broke and I had to get a new one. Made me start looking at and questioning the bracket and the angle it held my stabilizer at. Thanks for the recommendations. Currently I am driving without the stabilizer and I like the feel of it but would like to put it all back proper for my long 12 hour drives.

Usually, the issue with aftermarket SS is the clamp side on the TR. You are saying the TF doesn't fit well in the actual bracket by the TB mount? I used a Synergy bracket years ago with a TF 9550 and don't recall any issue.

Yea where the bracket bolts through the track bar, it looks like it was designed for a smaller size steering stabilizer. I've been grinding down the collar that comes with the Teraflex for years and jamming it in there lol
