I am lifted about 2.5 inches and have an adjustable rear track bar. But on the freeway a G out bump makes the rear go funky. A alignment shop said I need a track bar re location bracket to solve it. What one are people using with best results. How is the Synergy one?

With only 2.5" of lift you really wouldn't need a trackbar relocation bracket if you have an adjustable trackbar. Are you sure everything is centered? I would measure from frame to outer edge of tire on each side and make the adjustments to be equal on both sides.

I have measured and centered front and rear with synergy track bars. With full suspension movement at freeway speed there would be considerable side to side rear axle movement. A longer track bar like Thuren makes for the Ram 2500s would be good,

I have a Teraflex rear trackbar bracket. It helped a lot with the funky rear feeling.

I just ordered the Synergy one from Poly Performance by the advice of my alignment guy. He knows Jeep well.

Spent some time with a tape measure and a floor jack. It looks like I have 1 1/2 inch of side to side movement going from full up to full compress . At rest the frame side is almost 4 inches higher than the axle side is. The track bar bracket will level the track bar and stop that I hope. A longer adjustable track bar would be the ticket.

The rear track bar relocation bracket along with the front geo correction brackets. Now the fun begins and my back already hurts. It looks like the track bar will contact the exhaust pipe on full compression . I have a 2 inch bump stop spacer installed as instructed. Anyone install one of these OK.

Wait till you find you can do the same with your drag link and track bar with the Rock Jock high steer kit Then you have all of the geometry corrected instead of only part of it . It only requires 2.5" lift .

I did a 2.5" AEV spacer lift with AEV geometry correction brackets and that did NOT require any additional parts/bars. It aligned perfectly and drives perfect.

It DON"T even require Geo brackets to align it BUT it drives better when you do and even better when you add the rear track bar bracket and then again even better when you correct the drag link and front track bar . You don't have to have any of them to align it , but it sure drives great when all the geometry is corrected not just part of it, then you know how good it can be .

Note that I have a front and rear Synergy adjustable track bars along with Mopar 2 inch front LCAs. So my alignment is spot on. I am adding the front geo brackets and rear track bar bracket for ride and control at speed . Cheaper and easier than long arms. I fell down the rabbit hole a long time ago.

OK got the thing on. Says I need a 3 inch bump stop spacer nd I only have 2 . I flexed it out some and it contacts the bump stop OK. A hard hit might be different, Anyone have a thought? The rear does seem a little firmer so now I really feel every bump.
To anyone installing these plan for a few hours. If it makes the rear correct it will be worth it. It really doesn't feel like the track bar moves easier now even though the bar is flat. .

A freeway drive at 75-80mph shows that that bracket made a big difference. No more waggle on g-out rollers on the freeway. Streight and solid.
