You're already running enough bump to run a drag link flip, shouldn't affect anything.

I have this lift and have the synergy flip but haven't installed it. If you get a little bump steer - you should certainly think about it

The ride is actually quite a bit stiffer than i expected on and off road. Did some slight crawling and it performed will but really dislikes bumps at any kind of speed. I think it might just be me being used to IFS trucks with tons of power like my last Grand Cherokee

Mine was a little stiff at first as well. After about 500-800 miles mine really smoothed out. I have about 6k on it and It rides really nice now.

I mean it's a 2 door manual tranny so I doubt you could get much lighter

That's good to know. I put on about 2-4k a month so it should get some mileage on it pretty quickly
