What is the measurement from the sector shaft down to the bottom of the reinforcement? For both JKS and Synergy?

From what we have seen our track bar will not clear on the majority of lower lift heights.

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.

Hope this helps anyone questioning this particular set up

Also forgot to note I have about 4.5" lift so I'm sure that helps with clearances

It did NOT work with a RK for me. So I went ahead and got synergy. Nice bolt on piece.

I need to ask, because I'm running with only a 2" lift and my Synergy Track Bar still has slight movement after the 4323-01 (frame end) bushing up grade. Buddy and I was "lookin" at his JKS to mine and it looked like I had plenty of clearance? Running rocks it might be a different story I fear.

PS: I know we are supposed to have a 3" lift, but why

The trackbar bracket raises the axle side of the trackbar by 3", and the axle end of the draglink is flipped to the top of the knuckle. In order to keep stuff from smashing into the frame when the passenger tire is stuffed, you need to add taller bumpstops (or notch the frame). To give space between the new taller stops, you need taller coils. The whole domino thing...

The stock trackbar, and some other aftermarket options, have clearance issues due to where and how they bend. Synergy actually had to redesign their own trackbar to work with the brace, which upset some people who already had the previous version.

The note stuck to the listing for the brace on synergy's website:

The 8069 Synergy Jeep JK Front Track Bar & Sector Shaft Brace Kit is ONLY compatible with the 8075 Synergy Jeep JK Adjustable Front Track Bar. Synergy does not guarantee compatibility with any other track bar including the factory OEM trackbar.

Same reason others wont work. The Synergy bar dips down near the pitman nut to clear it.
