I went with the PR44 with RCV axles, ARB locker and Yukon gears 5.13 (2012 with 37's)

I've been running this setup for two years now and I've pushed it pretty hard and have been very happy with it

I did have to replace the Synergy ball joints with the Dynatrac rebuildable ones

Let us know how long the dynatrac ball joints last, I am curious. A buddy got a PR44 with dynatrac ball joints at the same time I switched my stock ball joints to synergy & he's currently rebuilding his while mine are still good.

 

I'll be watching, the synergies lasted less than two years and it's not a daily driver, maybe a 2-3 times a week

 

My Synergy ball joints lasted a year. My original factory Bj lasted 5 years.

 

Where / how are these Synergy ball joints wearing out?

 

Seems its becoming common.

 

My Synergies lasted 6 months. The same is being seen with most aftermarket ball joints, even the Dynatrac. While there is not enough data to be conclusive, it appears the OEM joints work the best. As I have noted many times, the limitation is the size of the ball joint. There really isn't much you can do when you are running tires that far exceed the size the ball joint was designed for.

 

8 months strong on 35s with no problems so far. Hopefully I'll be a success story for the synergy ball joints

 

Where are all the DT failures ? Ive see 1 maybe 2 .

 

Doesn't seem true. I ran the Dynatracs for 40k miles in my original Rubi housing with 37s and no issues. The housings under a friend's built XJ now, also with 37s they're still doing fine. A few premature Synergy failures noted.
