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.
My Jeep is my DD, I went with NAPA as they are available in stock at my local store so im never without parts. Same with the shocks.

Got a part# for the NAPA Golds? After 80K miles, I should think about replacing them in the spring.
Dont need nothing spectacular or over the top strong, I've done a lot harder trails on less than I have now.

At first I saw the lifetime warranty on the AutoZone cheapos so I was like well why not? They lasted until I took them out on the trail and it was back to the death wobble every 1/2 mile. They're cheap for a reason, I got my money back but it wasn't worth putting them in and taking them out again. I couldn't see spending almost 600 on the Dynatrac's with all the great reviews on the Synergy's. So I've been running Synergy's for about 8 months now and have been more than pleased. They've been put to the test on the trails and are still going strong. Synergy is my vote.

napa joints are not cheap. They are very heavy duty. look alot like synergy/alloy units. they are made by dana/spicer to napa specs. Napa has a cheaper joint and I looked at both, the cheaper joint I would run from, the NAPA gold versions are just as good as the synergy/alloy setup.

Two different animals there!

I am running the Synergys and am happy with them. I am also running them with RCV axles with no issues. Synergy includes a flush zerk for the lower balljoints if you're running RCVs.
