Just ordered up both Synergy trackbars off Poly Performance! Excited to mitigate some steering shimmy, have more clearance, and of course extra strength. I have a lot of Synergy stuff on my list, such as front quick discos, rear sway bar links, drag link, and their tie rod as well.

Honestly, for their price point they are great. Still liking them for now. They feel close to stock and gave me more travel which is really all I wanted since I previously ran the stocks with extensions.
At the time I was tight on my budget and got the entry level JKS kit which had springs, rear track bar relocation bracket, and their quick discos. So far I've only liked the performance of the springs, the disconnects have seized and corroded almost to where they shouldn't be used in just a little over a year's time.
I had a bad experience with JKS discos and took them off. I have used other JKS parts that have been great.
I've considered the Rancho 5000x's. Both Fox and Eibach shocks could do a better job of absorbing sharp impacts on my 2dr JK but otherwise handle great on and off road. Metalcloak Rocksports rode like a Cadillac but also handled like one
Current OME's are pretty good but I think I prefer the Rocksports. Then again, I should probably bypass the Ranchos and go with a tuned shock.
Anyways, good luck. I've enjoyed following your build and adventures which are closer to achievable for many of us.

Ride quality is 100% subjective too, but anyhow I'm glad I can provide insight to other 2 door ownersI had a bad experience with JKS discos and took them off. I have used other JKS parts that have been great.

Few updates on the Jeep:
Closer look at the tail lights from my previous build update...
A cool little first aid kit I got for Christmas, doubles as a convenient mount for my Baofeng...
Synergy Rear Trackbar...
Synergy Front Trackbar...
And my Jeep's current issue. A blown drag link TRE bushing at the pitman arm, causing it to have play side to side. Ordered a new end this past weekend, and gonna upgrade to a whole Synergy Drag Link at some point.

The Synergy stuff looks real nice and what I would likely use. Eddie used to use Synergy before he turned to the dark side...
Nicely done!
LOL - what??

I like the finish and they are definitely beefy. Look and feel pretty high quality.
Thank you my friend, really happy with where the Jeep's at right nowNicely done!
Are you indeed evil now Eddie? Lol, don't even know what he means.
I don't know about 'evil' but I have been called an asshole on more than one occasion

Ohhhh I remember nowI don't know about 'evil' but I have been called an asshole on more than one occasion
Well just fyi then, my trackbars think you're an asshole. Probably for leading me through that chop.

Dark side is fancy Evo stuff and Accuair.I like the finish and they are definitely beefy. Look and feel pretty high quality.

Looked at EVO, no more JK trackbars. Synergy was my second option.
