I've got 3.5" RK springs and flipping the draglink was a worthwhile upgrade for me. I have 0 bumpsteer and its smooth at 80mph on the highway.

I had to trim the pinch seam back a bit in the rear. I'm of the same thinking for the rear and steering components and will just upgrade them as they need it.

I've got the poly draglink. Very stout and I'd buy again if I needed one.

Synergy is good. It's the one I use. I like that they use castle nuts. Nice for the added security.

Will 37's destroy the factory ball joints?? I think mine are slightly bad and may be because of the 315's or when I had the C's installed. Will Synergy's be enough of an upgrade for 35's or 37's??

You can always check and see if they're bad. Synergy is more then fine for 35/37s. Thats what I went with.

Only symptom I have is there is play in steering wheel when I am sitting at a complete stop. Not sure if that is normal.
