I have seen shafts break on bigger tires (not fun)...
For me, I'm crazy picky about my JK's handling. Looking to see if improvements can be made.

I have the JKS kit, but my Jeep is lifted on Rock Krawler 2.5" springs. It does require welding to be installed.

Default Evaluating three choices

Did a bunch of searching and looking for feedback on how people feel three brackets fair in the real world of 3" of lift and 35's. The first is the Synergy Suspension Jeep JK Front Track Bar & Sector Shaft Brace Kit. Installation seems straight forward. Adds a track bar support bracket. Doesn't require welding but seems like it could be welded for more support. The second is the Rock Solid 07+ Jeep JK Steering Shaft Brace. The third is the JKS Front Trackbar + Sector Shaft Reinforcement Kit. Any input on how you like any of these, how they have performed, etc?

I have JKS and am happy with it. I really don't think one really performs better than the other. In my opinion they all do the same. Just a brand preference.

I just installed the RSP brace. I'll let you know how it goes after wheeling tomorrow.

I really like the Synergy system. It looks to have the best design that also stiffens the track bar bracket. It looks like it will cause clearance issues with adjustable track bars though. Anyone experience this?

I absolutely love the Synergy system I installed on my Jeep. It noticeably tightened up the steering and got rid of the wander it had since new.

It will work with the track bar brace only. If you want the steering bridge coupled with the track bar brace; you will néed the Synergy trac bar.
