• Why we moved away from...
We overview and install SYNERGYs HEAVY DUTY (HD) 1 ton steering upgrade in our Jeep JL Sport! These are a great alternative to STEERSMARTS and cheaper. Both are great systems, but not everyone wants or needs 1.5 ton.
Tie Rod - $400
Drag Link - $300
Relocation bracket - $75

Awesome as always and I very much appreciate showing that it is not as difficult to install as long as you take your time and are not afraid. Great to see Missy wrenching as well. Keep up the great channel and I'm sure sponsor or company push out is in your future Thank you
Thank you! We do our best to make installs detailed and entertaining.
Lol Misty does great and is always willing to learn about her jeep, she just is not as comfortable around the camera yet lol.
As far as sponsorship goes... 🙏🙏 guess it’s a road we cross if it ever comes... we just know we are having fun and that’s what is important to us!
People tend to forget... we all started somewhere 🤙🤙
Thanks again for your support to the channel! 🙏🙏
Had me watching this video real closely as you know I'm looking for that one ton steering for my XJ. And nice to know I'm not the only one out there that still uses hand tools 🤙
😆 ❤️🙏 hell yes! Glad to hear someone appreciate the hand tools!
So far mistys been very happy with the set up... I asked a lot of people about synergy steering kits and was mostly great reviews!
🙏🙏 thanks for watching brother!!
You guys are so funny, me and the Mrs laughed our asses off Thanks for the video learned a ton
Haha thank you! Glad to hear u guys got a kick out of it! 😉
Thanks for watching! 🙏🙏
Cool install video #JLLIFE !!!
Thanks for watching Dave! So far we have been enjoying it! We will get it some rock time soon 🤙🤙
Very informative thanks for the laughs also.
Awesom! Glad to hear u enjoyed it Greg! We do our best to keep y’all laughing and learning... 😂🤙🤙
Thank you for ur continued support!
Hilarious video guys..! And Missys great…!
Ordered this today
You will be pleased...
nothing bad to say about it! Just make sure ur adjuster sleeve is out about .5 an inch... give ur clamps something to bite onto 🙌
Looking good in Drag! Lol. Nice upgrade. I need to do something like this on our JL. I REALLY like how clean and solid the stabilizer relocation looks. How you like the Fox 2.0? I have it on mine and like it. Keep up the good work. This was a very well step by step video. 👍🏻
Thanks brother... this is definitely a great alternative to steersmarts... a lot of great features to it. I bet when u tear urs out... ur TREs are gonna be toast hahaha
I agree the stabilizer bracket looks good and clean.. misty says she really enjoys it... feels great....!i actually ordered the same one!
Btw I fixed my DW lol
Thanks for watching brother. I always appreciate ur support for the channel! 🙏🙏
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD Yay, no more DW! Congrats!
Ya'll are hilarious and I wish you lived closer!! Great install and insight. What bumper is on the front of heathen and how did you wire up the fog lights?
Haha thanks! We have a video on it I just hadn’t put it together yet hahaha
The fog lights we just cut into the factory wires and butt-connected them to the right line... was a super easy thing to do...
It’s a red rock 4x4... one of them JK bumpers we ordered from extreme terrain.
Thanks for watching brother! Chicago right? Lol
I thought I seen you before, didn't recognize you dancing for SIA too! A Mo of many talents!! Great install vid, feel like it could be daunting reading the instructions before seeing you break it down so simple like this
Hahahaha we can achieve great things if we set our minds to it! 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching! Glad to hear u enjoyed it... 🤙🤙
You prolly dont care but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I love any help you can give me
@Milo Reginald Instablaster =)
@Jaxtyn Maddox thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Jaxtyn Maddox It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you really help me out!
Nice and upgrade are allway good to do
So far she really enjoying the tight TREs! We will torture test them for sure!!
Thanks
For watching!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD that is the way to go ,i do the same have fun and be safe.
Picapiedra 4x4 you to friend! Thanks for watching! Hope you got some laughs out of it!
good install guys! cant wait to torture test its in moab! btw that hair look good on you mo hahahahaha
Hey brother! Thanks for watching! I’m excited as well!
Lol good enough for a tip? 😉
You look great in drag...😬😂 Nice job on the install.
Hahahah do it for the tubes 😎
Hahahah thanks for watching brother... appreciate ur support for sure!
Awesome guys! I've actually been eyeballing that same set up for Napalm. The only that concerns me is, Mo looked WAY too comfortable putting lipstick on. Not being judgemental, just sayin....😏😏😏
Great video, guys! Keep it up!👊👊
Brother... let’s get weird! 😎 keeps our channel unique ahhaahah
Definitely a great set up.. easy to install... cheaper upfront cost... cheaper maintenance... the question is how will the TRE hold up compared to my steersmarts lol...
I had a good laugh, good job gettin her dun!!!
Hope u got ur light bar without issue?
JL LIFE OFFROAD I’m sorry, I thought I DM’ed you. Yes, I did get the light bar. Hopefully I’ll have some time to get it installed soon.
Maybe u messaged misty lol... 🤷♂️ but glad to hear u got it!
Looks great I have the Steer Smarts full kit, drag, track and Tie rod, King Steering Stab, the whole Jeep changed to a solid animal up front, lol. Looks like you installed the steering stab backwards compared to mine and all other I have seen, I know it’s suppose to be equal pressure both ways, but odd seeing it mounted that way
Mark Darnell Videos thanks for watching... u know the reason I put the stabilizer this way... it seemed less likely to rub when flexing...
Curious do u see potential problems mounted this way? Or it just seems odd to you? Lol
JL LIFE OFFROAD it is just unusual to mount it that way is all. As long as it’s equal pressure and doesn’t hit anything should be fine
Eddie, I got the Dynatrac 2 inch lift on my 21 JL 2 door rubicon. It netted me 2.6 inches all around.
I also added 1/2 spacer in front because I put a winch up front and I have the oem metal bumpers.
We currently live in Alabama and spent 28 years in Phoenix and definitely miss crawling 😔
Our plan is when we retire in 6 years we plan on visiting family in Phoenix for 2-3 months at a time so we are building the JL now.
So my question is with the new Dynatrac lift, the steering seems fine even at 80 mph with bfg at 33’s.
I’d like to add the Synergy tie rod and drag link system. We are going to do some wheeling in Alabama and North Carolina over the next 6 years, but mainly this is my wife’s daily.
What will this system do to the steering?
I’ve had a HD tie rod before
But not as a set.
Thx john
Great video guys , where the popping noise you’re hearing only in 4wd? I’m hearing some and i can’t figure out where from lol , i was like 70% positive it’s coming from the ends.
No it was every bump or ‘major’ movement from the suspension... it was the stock TRE.. haven’t heard em since moving to synergy on hers! 🙌
Thanks for watching brother!
Great video, did you get a reimbursement for the steering stabilizer?
No, they refused to
Great upgrade! The ends are small enough and cheap enough to keep with you when you wheel too. Hey, was that Doris Day?
Hahahaha in drag! Hahahaha can’t wait to see how these hold up to steersmarts!
Thanks for watching 🤙🤙
Annnnd not sure who Doris day is... so not sure if ur insulting me lol
She was a whole lot prettier than you lol
Well Thts just hurtful lol
Did i get you in the feels? Must be a liberal. 🤣🤣🤣
Another great video. At some point I'd love to hear your opinion regarding Steer Smart vs. Synergy.
We plan too for sure. Wanted to give the synergy some time before we do it thou. 🤙😂
Thanks for watching. Glad You enjoyed!
JL LIFE OFFROAD this upgrade is coming soon for us. Trying to decide if I should spend the extra. :) Tired of re-aligning every time I get cocky.
Hhahahahahaha r u still on stock
Steering?
Lmao I like tht... tired of realigning every time u get cocky 😂😂
JL LIFE OFFROAD brand new warranty replaced stock steering at the moment. No more wiggle in the joints - but it still needs improvement for sure.
Yea... I mean run the stock while u can... but the TRE ain’t tht great... haha since u said u like to get cocky... 😂 I’m assuming u wheel like us... they don’t last long at all... and u can’t replace the ends on the stock bars as they are crimped in... 😂 we will try to get out a good comparison video soon for u! 🙏
I've been very happy with my Synergy components. And when you have to replace the ends, $30 is very reasonable. In saying that, I need to order a few for back up purposes. ;-) Oh, and you're a dork. LOL!
Definitely like the idea of $30 over $180... guess the big question is how long do the TREs last for both our systems
Lol u know u love it 😎🙏
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD Guess you'll find out. ;-)
Your driver side tie rod cotter pin is not bent, may be missing by now.
Good skills, where did you learn that? Greetings from The Netherlands. 👍🇳🇱❤️🇺🇸✌️
Lol glad to hear u enjoyed the video!
Growing up my dad and I used to wrench on vehicles often.
Thanks for watching !
So what do you think about the synergy tie rod and drag link? Do you prefer steersmarts?
Both are good systems... both have advantages and disadvantages.... 😬😬😬 live in a corrosive area?
Parts are on the truck today, this is my project today. The Fox SS on other vids are installed either facing the diff, or the axle: does it matter which way they face?😯
Thick side of stab to diff to avoid rubbing
Also make sure the adjuster sleeve is about .5 of. n inch out from the draglink and tie rod. Will help keep things tight!
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD Thanks for quick response! 🤘😎🤘
Absolutely!
Just bought 2019 jeep wrangler sports unlimited 4 door and already steering wheels problem. Bring it to dealer they said need to replace rack and pinion. Did you have problem like this?
steering problems yes, but replacing the ring and pinion to fix it???? The steering box has problems,, I think they are finally fixing it now. But who knows, dealers are never easy to deal with
and im sorry for the 7 moth delay, I typically respond to every constructive comment in a day. Some how this one eluded me. Im sorry
Will that end clamp fit with falcon steering stabilizer?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t, but can not guarantee
Does yours loosen up and move up and down, mine does after a light trail
U talking about the stabilizer?
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD yes. I keep tightening it but then ot becomes loose
I recommend some blue thread lock on it
What size are those castle nuts? Thx
22! And Merry Christmas!
Curious what size lift she’s running?
3.5 rock krawler xfactor
Safety glasses man
Haha but I wasn’t cutting anything lol
Steersmart or synergy?
Steersmarts
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD have you done a comparison video?
Done one about what I don’t like about synergy… haven’t gotten around to detailing the steersmarts yet
Since you upload this video... almost a year... how is synergy products working for you? Do you have Instagram account? Thanks
My only complaint with this kit.... the paint/ powder coating chipped off while tightening the clamps... I mean.... just hit it with some primer and it will be fine... the parts are strong and no complaints from tht
Instagram is BromanceJL
Also have a linkin description 🙌🙌
does her jeep have dana 44 in the front i thought you said she had dana 30
It’s a 30 front and 35 rear equivalent... dana renamed these axels and went away from the traditional Dana 30/35/44 names... still no offers why thou
@@JLLIFEOFFROAD every one on the internet says how weak dana 30 axels are she is doing alot of hard obstacles but she is a good driver that helps
Yea... a dana 30/35 can get a lot done... it’s all how u wheel it.. and or course not getting crazy big with tire size
Hahaha!!!
It’s hot when I see a woman wrench stuff haha
Soooo what ur saying.... I should wear tht wig for EVERY video??? 😂😂
JL LIFE OFFROAD I was talking about your wife haha
