I've got a 2018 JLU Sport S, 2 inch mopar lift, 34.4 BFG ko2s, 60k miles. I've driven it enough to want to tighten up the steering and improve its handling characteristics on and offroad. I've been looking at the Synergy Sector Shaft Brace Kit, Synergy Front Track Bar and Synergy Rear Track Bar. I already have the steel steering box upgrade, do you think these components would tighten up my steering? Is the rear trackbar necessary? What else could I do to tighten up the steering? I was also planning on upgrading to a fox steering stabilizer.

Thanks,

A rear trackbar bracket might be worthwhile. The steering brace won't tighten anything but it will stop any deflection you were getting before and imo it's worth it. I ran synergy steering on my jk. They used to not use a sealed bearing on their steering brace but I think the do now. I'd make sure they do, if they don't steer smarts does.

I'd get a front trackbar. The Mopar kit really should come with a bracket at least.

If your going for tighter feel in steering you might notice it a bit but the loose steering imo is whatever the box is set at. There is a dead spot in most jls and it just makes it feel kinda sloppy. They missed the mark with this steering imo.

I've got the steel box and all of steer smarts steering and their brace. Running falcon adjustable stabilizer and it's a remarkable difference over stock but if still got a little dead spot.

I put one of the sector shaft/steering brace on my wife's JLUR when I did the lift. Her's had the steering box TSB so adding the brace just added to the improvement. I installed it when I did the MC GC3.5 so the spring and shock were out of the way and it was a simple install. I used the MC trackbars since it came with the lift so I can't comment on if the Synergy ones are an improvement.
