Adding rear extended rear LCA and trackbar bracket change handling?

[kapk22]

Just wondering if there would be a noticeable difference in ride quality and/or handling if one were to add the extended rear lower control arm and rear trackbar extension bracket to a JLUR with the Mopar 2” lift. Keeping in mind, I netted almost 4.5” of lift after installing and running 37 now.

The more arms and linkages that get replaced, the more solid the vehicle will feel due to the stronger construction. Plus, adjustability is nice for centering axles both side to side and fore and aft.

I added both rear track bar brackets to mine. The relocation on the axle side and the reinforcement on the frame side. They made a big improvement by minimizing tail wag over bumps and a more solid and planted feel. It had enough of an affect, that I immediately noticed that I didn't need to make as large and as many micro corrections at the steering wheel.

Very good info. Thank you.

I was just noticing that going over bumps yesterday, thinking “I may need to drop the pressure down a bit more”

I will look at the second bracket too.

Drop the pressure? What's your tire pressure set to?

If you still have the Mopar Front LCA I would swap those out to adjustable front control arms, and if you get adjustable front, and rear track bars you can center your axles.

I think they are around 32. I have to check.

I replaced the front Lcas with adjustable RCs as well as the front track bar, also adjustable rc.

35 and 36 psi

35 and 36 psi

That's high. Are your 37x12.5's on factory wheels or wider?

37x13.50 (14.13” wide) r20 on fuel 20x9 wheels

And this is the bracket I have, not installed yet.

Does anyone other than synergy make the bracket for the axle side?

You might be better off in the 30 psi neighborhood. A chalk test would help fine tune it to your specific vehicle weight. If that shorter sidewall tire is D-rated, or especially E, I've read of guys running as low as 26-28 psi.

Is that an axle side or frame side bracket?

And yeah, Synergy is not the only source of axle side relocation brackets. They're just the only one that I'm aware of that doesn't extend further inboard on the axle tube.

Yes, the super lift shows installing it frame side. Since you have the axle side, I am going to find one before I go through the hassle of the initial install.

There are definitely more cost efficient ones than synergy. I only went with it because I was going with the Metalcloak rear diff skid and didn't want 2 different ubolts fighting over the same real estate on the axle tube.

This is a pretty good option for the axel side, it’s the exact same thing as the teraflex bracket but costs less. I am running it on mine.
