Hey guys,

I see alot questions if the synergy sector shaft brace and track bar mount reinforcing bracket work with certain track bars.

Well I just installed these with my JKS track bar and it fits and works perfectly.

No contact even at full stuff.

4.5" lift w/a DL flip

Hope this helps anyone questioning this particular set up

It would be nice if we could get a list in this thread of which bars work or don't work with it. Maybe everyone will report in with their results.

Well that's weird cause last year I installed the braces and my JKS trackbar hit the pitman arm nut. I had to order a synergy trackbar.

Different bumpstop heights. Different axle placement. Different lift heights. Who knows what the actual causes might be. As you noted, just because something did or did not work for one person, doesn't mean it will or won't for another. Too many variables for threads like this to really help.

As mentioned...bump stop height seems to be the determining factor all other things equal.

If someone has stock height bump stops - like my buddy who couldn't figure out why he was ripping off fender flares with stock stops and a 4" lift...will always run into issues when changing parts out or even with stock parts and a flexy suspension.

Somethings gonna hit without proper bump stops.

Axle swaps bring a whole other variable into it also.

My point was to show that with the proper bump stops that came with my lift you can run these with no problems. I guess I assumed everyone runs the correct sized bump stops to fit their lift/tire size

Then maybe you should post up your bump stops height so people could judge if the JKS will work for them. I am running 3" bump stops up front and a synergy drag link flip and the JKS trackbar doesn't work with the sector shaft brace.

It depends which generation of track bar you have from JKS. My buddy runs the sector shaft brace with the new generation JKS track bar and everything works fine. I had the older generation track bar and it didn't fit. We were running similar lift heights and the same bumpstops. The bend in the track bar to clear the diffs is what has changed over the years and that's where people have issues.

Maybe you should ask nicely. ...always someone who finds something wrong with an attempt at someone just being helpful.

And how does it "not work" for you exactly...maybe you should post up why it doesn't work so people could judge if it won't work?
