This thing looks awesome but the price is the deal breaker, I like how it's no drilling

It is indeed awesome and he does offer a forum discount. Before you rule it out on price, I would suggest calling and asking for a quote. Never hurts to ask.

You ordered a what? Are you talking about the low misalignment boots? If you are you can't put those on the draglink. You need misalignment in the joint when the suspension articulates

Yea those are not supposed to be used with the Dl

The Yeti links allows side to side misalignment but maybe 1/16 front/back so it stands straight up.
It wont flop at all which is good for joint life and boot wear. Clamps only require 40 ft lbs and adjustment is a easy as it gets.

I was asking him a question about dust boots he installed on his synergy draglink. Maybe they were the low misalignment boots maybe they werent which is why I was asking him by quoting his post. Im asking him in an effort to save him the headache of causing damage to his linkage by those boots limiting his vertical misalignment in his joints. He doesnt have a yeti draglink so im not sure how this information would help him unless he sells his perfectly good synergy draglink at a loss to buy a yeti draglink. Nothing against the yeti as I have no experience with it but its not the only answer to everything regaridng steering

Not planning on flipping since I'm not going with a higher lift so should I be good to go with the more expensive yeti?

No worries. I just wish synergy would get their head out their ass and start using no flop joints with more durable boots
