look under "write ups" and then click on "front end alignment". I'm not computer smart or I'd figure out how to paste it or something.

This is a flipped drag link. It is over the steering knuckle instead of below it.

Be careful with Reid's. if you are running a straight drag link (like the RK) you don't have a lot of space due to the raised tie rod to run a relocated steering stabilizer or hydro assist ram, and may have to run a custom bracket off the diver side to clear everything.

Synergy tie rod should work fine with Reid's knuckles though.

Any tie rod/drag link combo will work with the Reid's, it's just a clearance issue. The synergy is bent so it doesn't create an issue. The RK or any made from straight DOM (like mine) isn't. Doesn't mean it won't work, just need to be a little creative.

Interesting. Not sure what would happen with negative angles. (maybe negative isn't the proper term, backwards steep?)

They start roughly parallel and flat. After lifting they are parallel and at steeper angles. Flip to raise them both on the passenger side and get them flat again. Remove the lift and now they are steep again, but the opposite way. Same behavior as not having the high steer/flip?
