I may need to replace my track bar but I am still at stock height currently. I plan on a 2.5" lift but not quite yet. Will this work for me now and after a lift?

Wow... I just logged in to ask this same question. Crazy.

It says on Synergy's website that their track bar it's for use with lifts 3" & bigger. The thing I'm struggling with is that I really like having reinforced mounting points that's available with it instead of just a thicker bar flopping around in the weak/ wallowed out stock mounts. It's raised on the axel side which is great for pairing it up with their high steer drag link & beefed up tie rod (for down the road).

You could always buy it, take some measurements and shorten the unit as well as turning the threads. From stock to 3" lift was only 3/8" longer.

Haven't worked with this particular track bar but I do not see a reason why it would not work.

-ND4SPD-, you should check into Artec brackets. They are very strong but they do require welding and some fabrication to install them.

Default you can reinforce the stock track bar bracket with

the teraflex gusset plate . keep in mind if its like mine came through with the holes not drilled to correct size . and one hole the bolt seems to slightly hit the track bar they make lol but you could tack weld it with a bead or two

get the tereflexmonster track bar its never gonna bend 245.00 but also fits stock that's same reason I went this way
solid bastard

I was just checking those Artec brackets out earlier as well. Very affordable for the quality in my opinion.

I just installed my Synergy adj track bar tonight and didn't have any problems other than my steering wheel took forever to re-center but I also installed some AEV correction brackets which might have had more to do with it.
