Adjustable track bar w/ drag link flip
Do you need both or will just one suffice? I have an adjustable track bar but no drag link flip. The drag link and track bar are parallel to each other but not parallel to the axle. I have about 4 inches of lift.

^Yep, what he said. Do you have a dropped frame side bracket or drop pitman arm with your set up? If so you can leave it but a drag link flip is a better way to go and will put less pressure on the sector shaft. It will also help with handling both on and off road

Synergy Bracket
Flipped my drag link when I put new knuckles on... Figured I would do the relocation bracket myself. Almost didn't get home. Bumps, bridges, dips... I felt it all. Even had traction control come on once. Thought there was something wrong with the work that was done. Called Currie and they told me to put the relocation bracket on immediately... even says it in the instructions (long gone, since had the Currie for year+). I immediately ordered a synergy track bar relocation bracket. Sure enough... that was it. Man... they aren't kidding about the geometry! I have a JKS adjustable... but it wasn't a axle centering issue, it was that I need to move the track bar off the axle and quite a bit. FYI. I have a 4" lift too.
The synergy is an excellent bracket. It's got a slim profile, which was critical since my Reid knuckles moved the tie rod up. Everything is super close (tightly packed) now. And I attached my Fox ATS to another hole in the Synergy bracket and it sits right on top of the raised tie rod... nothing scrapes/hits.
Hope this helps. For me, that bracket was a must-have before I even drove the Jeep home.

The drop pitman arm is a bandaid over a gunshot.....bad idea. It puts undue stress on the sector shaft. Properly setup steering geometry in the front is a MUCH better way to go.
