I don't do a lot of Heavy Wheeling, but I do have a Mopar 2" lift and 37 Nitto tires. I'm just wondering if the benefit of adding an upgraded synergy track bar, draglink, and tie rod would be beneficial enough for me to justify the cost, or should I just stick with stock components since I don't hardcore wheel.

Thanks for any/all thoughts!

The JL/JT have much beefier steering components than the old JK. You might want an adjustable track bar if your axle isn’t centered after the lift. The stock track bar is fixed length and mine was about an inch off side to side. Other than that, a better steering stabilizer is nice. Those are the two steering upgrades I’ve done and it drives great. From there you can decide if the other components are worth it, but I personally don’t think they are necessary for what you are describing.

Yeah, I bought the adjustable terraflex, but if I was to do it over, I’d just get one of the fixed resistance ones. Don’t really see me changing the setting, but didn’t know at the time.
Yeah, I called Fox, and talked to the guy who designs their shocks and steering stabilizers. We talked on the phone for a while. He was a pretty cool guy, and you can tell he actually offroads and really knows Jeeps. He told me the TS 2.0 (like I linked above) is the exact same as the $500 ATS 2.0, but without the adjustability. And when they did the testing, most people preferred the ATS between #11 and #13, so they set the TS 2.0 at the same dampening as the #12 setting on the ATS. So, he said, if you don't plan on messing with it much to find the sweet-spot, buy the non-adjustable TS 2.0, and you'll be happy. So I did, and he was 100% correct. :like:
