I called synergy today from what I understand it comes with the hardware for the brackets and the frame side bolts but not the axle side. Double checked the instructions and I see 12 bolts, two brackets with 5 holes each. Let me know how the install goes!

Pretty major install doing a long arm. No sense in not swapping out the factory 14mm bolts for 9/16" grade 8 in the process.
Fwiw, with a lot of study & prep and three guys working, a buddy installed a Synergy long arm in under 8 hours. They had a meeting beforehand to go though the instructions and assign tasks. The night before they got the rig on a hoist, removed the wheels, tank & control arms & laid out all the parts out by assembly. Next morning they started early, used a cheapo Harbor Frieght plasma cutter to lop off the stock brackets and each guy took a corner to grind, prep & paint the frame. (Not sure who got to do a second one.) They said in typical Synergy fashion the kit went together perfectly, and they were on the road late that afternoon for a shakedown.

Wow sounds like some organized guys. If they did it in 8 hours that'll probably equal 8 days for this guy.
