Synergy Lift Info?

[Nate]

So has anyone heard anything from Synergy MFG as of late on anything JT lift related? I remember TJ Mitchell had a video discussing the development of the one on his JT and then nothing.

So I know this was a dead thread but was looking at their website and noticed that Synergy only has a 2" complete lift for the JT.

I really enjoy the fact that they keep the factory rake for folks like myself who need the rake for the leveling of towing but very much would like to see a complete 3-4" kit available fairly soon.

I suppose another concern is whether or not the kit would vary between the eco and 3.6?!

Synergy does NOT have a complete lift for the JT.

If you read the info for the lift kit on their website it is ONLY for a JL.

You can do a complete front end, but they have not developed the rear end and they will tell you their lift will NOT work on the JT rear.

Not having called them and only surfing their website, I see you're correct about the complete lift, however when you click on the springs it shows 3 separate JT's comparing all 3 spring heights up against a set of garage bay doors.

They have it prototyped, and you can buy rear springs, just not the entire kit.

The rear control arms are the holdup. That is the only part they don't list for the JT.

I've been very interested to hear about Synergy's kit. One of our people at work is a mech-e from Cal Poly, and the Poly Goats LOVE Synergy and their quality of work and engineering. Poly Performance is their sister 4x4 store, that's where I've been lurking for the released system.

Yup, I've been waiting all year for them to release their 2" complete lift.
Already have a start with their tie-rod bar, front track bar, and drag link bar.

Seems most basic kits don't even include rear control arms.

I'm thinking about giving them a call to see what the current situation is.

That shock length sounds really long. Did you swap in new rear brake lines and put in front bump stop spacers? The Jeep looks great!

 

[aztec1382]

I thought so as well
However synergy recommended that length.
rear brake lines not needed
Used their front bump stop kit

and will be adding a rear track bar
And rear bump stops
When they eventually release them

Looks really nice. I think I'll have to go an inch bigger and 37's though. However, I prefer the exact lift and tire combo you're rocking. I'll be needing the extra ground clearance for local creek crossing and moderate trail riding.

Carefully test out your rear articulation. My testing shows that longer brake lines are needed with rear shocks which are longer than 28” when extended. Also check for stock driveshaft clearance at the automatic transmission pan and crossmember with front shocks over 28.5” Are you using 3” of front bump stop spacer?

Great picture
Will definitely upgrade the rear brake lines.
Currently running 2 pucks in the front

the jeep is more of a fire road vehicle for me.

i take out the x3 for trails
