Take note of the special instructions with some of them to ensure they'll work with aftermarket axles down the road (synergy fits with RCV's)

Synergy is probably the best bang for you buck in our opinion.

PM us for a quote.

Would dynatrac be overkill on a lightish jku?

Dyna's are rebuildable, so you'll get the longest service life out of them (hypothetically). Overkill is all relative- stock tires tear up stock bj's fairly quickly so you've got to decide what's appropriate for your needs.

Hypothetically the best and probably overkill- my two cents.

I am running napa gold ball joints in my JKU. A huge improvement over stock and best part, lifetime warranty. Wear one out, bring it back for another! Love it. They are all steel construction, no plastic garbage, and greaseable. I can't see needing anything else with the warranty. Next up is all my tie rod ends etc.

For my needs, driving style, tire size I went with Synergy about 15,000KM ago. No issues, great product, and bang for the buck as others noted.

For me as things go on my Jeep, I'm re-building better / stronger then OEM, but not over the top. I match my use and Jeep build to the parts I select.
