Steering Stabilizer Relocation, MC vs Synergy

[morricus]

I'm looking to relocate my steering stabilizer, not sure which of these two kits to get. I have 3.75 inch lift, 37 inch tires and ZERO steering issues. But I think its a matter of time before I crush my stabilizer out on the trail. Is there a particular advantage to either the MC or Synergy kit? I like the Synergy kit a bit more, but that is based only on the fact I thought it looked clever, not any experience. Or is there another option I'm missing? Thanks

I have the track bar bolt from synergy and it works well with my retrofitted JL nexus 2.2. both are great companies though I don't think you can go wrong.

Thanks man, I figured there wasn't a huge difference between the two, just wanted to make sure. I think I'll buy the Synergy, I dig the design.

I like the Metalcloak and SteerSmarts ones because they are double-shear mounting on the one side. But the other is single in all kits so probably not a big deal.

I have the Metal Cloak relocation kit. Too much work involved. If I had to do it over I would choose the Steer Smarts solution. Good luck in your decision.

We have run Steer Smarts brackets in all of our JL's so far, no issues.

What lower coil isolator is that it looks different

From what I can see, and I could clearly be wrong, Steer Smarts only has the axle side bracket. They don't have a little kit that includes everything I need.

They are synergy pads, they're made for the flat bottom coils .

They have a tie rod clamp, it can be seen in the attached photo.

Ah, gottcha. Total cost of both is about $165 vs $80 or so for the Synergy and the MC. Do you feel the Steer Smarts is worth double the price? Asking honestly, I'll pay more if there is a legimate reason, but don't like spending money if I don't have to. Thanks for the info, this is helpful.

I have not used Synergy's brackets and can not speak to their quality. The Steer Smarts ones are very nice though.

I agree, single shear just seems like phoning it in but clearly it works, and it IS just a stabilizer, not a critical component

I love MC but don’t care for their relocation kit. I think the tie rod attachment could be much better. The steer smart one is excellent. Top notch and in true steer smart fashion extremely overbuilt which we love!

Curious, I just bought the Falcon stabilizer, do I need both the relo bracket and the tie rod clamp? Does the tie rod clamp work with the stock one? Noticed SS mentioned aftermarket fit in their description.
