I have the Synergy ball joints. The lowers clear the RCV axles. The harbor freight ball joint adapter kit has the angle install cup for the uppers making it easy to install

I just had Rebel Off Road install the Synergy ball joints while they had my vehicle apart. I only have 3600 miles on mine but lets face it with 37's those stock ones weren't long for this world anyways.

Thank you for the shout out!

We fully expect when asked on JKForum which ball joints are used most often the Dynatrac will always appear numerous times. It may appear then that they are the better option, but don't let numbers fool you. There are two other high quality, heavy duty, proven, and certainly more affordable options available for those who simply can't afford the Dynatrac ball joints.

Synergy Suspension and the new to market Alloy USA.

A search on JKForum may not yield much on each, but that is not because they are not widely used or because they are inferior. Synergy was simply not allowed to be discussed and the Alloy USA are very new to market.

Dynatracs are a great option to be sure, but they do run a premium and may simply be out of reach for some on a tighter mod budget. For those who are looking to spend $200 or less for a complete set, look at the Synergy and Alloy USA options.

Dynatracs. Do em once and done. Their history speaks volumes. Rebuild kits available, last time I heard they havent even sold a rebuild kit yet. A lot of people with 40" and larger tires out there on their bj's, pretty impressive if you ask me.

Just remember if you bend your HF ball joint kit, bring it back and get a new one, easy as that. Pulling the old ones I bent mine and was in and out of there in minutes with a new kit.

From what I have read, the Alloy's are relatively new compared to other brands. I just had uppers/lowers installed when I beefed up the front Dana 44 a month ago in preperation for my lift and 35s. Much better quality than OE and comparable to Synergy IMO. No regrets.

Mine are not sloppy yet but I don't want my tires to wear funny.
