I Don't Want to Overstate how Effective the Steer Smarts Brace was, but....

[JTGuy]

I have the '22 steel box. The Synergy brace bolted right up with a sealed bearing.

When did they integrate the steel steering?

According to the Google overlord, "some 2020 models built on or after August 14, 2020 got the steel box, and all 2021 models."

Yes, it looks like my 24 has steel (according to the googlay overlord).

Interesting, now I need to find my build date to check if I have the steel box! Thank you Google Overlord

The magnets still stick to my '22 bed.

It made a world of difference after my install, tracks straight and absolutely no wander after!
That and the RC HD track bar. But I still have the Cavfab 2.5 ton tie rods to install. Hmmmm,
another time.

I've been very pleased with my Steer Smarts brace as well. When I was tracking down play in the steering system after a dealer screw up, I noticed how much the steering box twisted the frame. The brace has it rock solid now.

I've since added the Steer Smarts front track bar, drag link and have the tire rod on the way.

For a closer look at the differences between Synergy and Steer Smarts track bar bracket, check out the video we did with @Tech Tim:



FYI: The Synergy bracket in the video is the older one, the newer bracket is a little different.

I bought the newer Synergy one from you all, love it and made my steering awesome

Yup, definitely a driveway job. If I'm not mistaken the Synergy and Steer Smarts install pretty much the same exact way

Agreed driveway job.

I recently added the $180 Amazon SteerSmarts knock off. I have a 2.5" springs with EVO track bars and TerraFlex IR lower control arms. The brace sure did help the wander play! approx. 6 months ago I had an alignment with the castor set at 5.5deg. I picked up a digital angle gauge and backed out the lower control arm 1 full turn which brought the caster to 6.5deg. Now with the brace and added caster its amazing how much better this drives, especially highway speeds.
