track bar/ sector shaft brace

[Roky]

I have the JL version of the Fox TS, which comes affixed with the factory style mount to the axle. The JK version of the Fox TS has the correct mount for the Synergy relocation kit. When I ordered mine, Northridge didn't tell it wouldn't work for my projected setup. I bought the regular Fox SS and putting it on today. Didn't want to spend the extra money for another TS.

Copy that... after talking to synergy earlier, I ordered the jk version. It comes with t.b. bolt and clamp, so now I’ll have a relo kit for sell....

Haha! Roky, I did the exact same thing. However.... Synergy reached out to me. You still need to use their reallocation TB bolt. I swapped out for the Fox bolt and it hits the drag link at full lock. Just barely, but its left a little chip in the paint on the drag link so its definitely touching. I'm going to swap back out for the synergy one.

Copy that.... good info... I have yeti drag link, so I’ll definitely put eyes on that spot and see if I need to do the same.....thanks

Perfect. Just wanted to give a heads up. I turned lock to lock and nothing was touching but under driving conditions, I think it gets a little more flex. Huge shout out to Synergy for reaching out to me after a random forum post to explain the reason for their button head bolt. I wouldn't have known unless I crawled under and looked.

Anyone using their rear TB brace? Is that even necessary for the sake of enhancing steering, I can see it will strengthen the load from big tires.

I installed the front TB brace today and gotta say I’m almost shocked out of how much a difference it made. Probably my favorite mod right now.

Just the brace, or TB also?

I installed the track bar a couple weeks ago.

I did both the brace and the track bar, noticeable difference in deed. Not overwhelming but definitely noticeable. When I go down the road, I don't seem to be having to work as much at keeping it in the lane, even when the road is uneven.

Did you have a wobble at hwy speed before the brace?

I just cut off the end of the Fox one that protruded past the nylock nut and no contact. Prefer that nut to the synergy Allen cap button screw.

No. Just got better control of the wheel as I drove down the street.

I didn’t ha DW either, I just had a big dead spot in the steering I was trying to get rid of and this worked great.

I installed the Synergy Sector Shaft Brace today. I bought the monster Milwaukee impact wrench for this project and it still wasn’t enough, it wouldn’t budge the pitman arm nut on the highest setting with a fresh battery. I tried to use a breaker bar and got so much deformation I was afraid of breaking the mounting bolts!

Bottom line, even if you have a big breaker bar or monster impact wrench, have a propane torch available in case heat is absolutely required.
