I can tell you it is worth it I just ran 75-80mph for round trip of 2400-2500 miles to do the dusy ershim trail and never worried about breaking or bending it. Did the trail on 35"s without spotter and more than once I had a bad line and made hard contact and it never budged got off the trail and 75-80 all the way home steering wheel straight as an arrow one finger steering. I'm sure the others could do the same but I'll never find out because this yeti is on mine for good. I know for lots of guys the dusy ain't a big deal but it is a decent test for a 4 door on 35's with 2.5" lift.

do not remember exactly! I believe I ordered synergy 1 ton black dust boot covers. The longer dust boot covers I think where day star? Just order short and long dust boot cover and put long on top of short and bolt up! Worked for me!

When I upgrade to Reid knuckles will this draglink be an issue? Not sure what the difference is between high steer and flip drag link

Reid knuckle raise the drag link so essentially its a highsteer knuckle. You will need a TB bracket and 3" bump .. Same as flipping over the stock knuckle. SteerSmarts makes a DL for Reid knuckles or Drilled stock knuckles if going that route.

Sounds like I should buy the knuckles and flip drag link at the same time to prevent buying 2 drag links

You would have to replace the joint only.

The synergy works either flipped or not flipped but I stated that already. Nothing else to buy and will work fine with the Reid Knuckles.
