not to bad. i got them put on in oct 2018 and im at 10/32. got 40,200 on the truck and i think i was at 5k when they were installed. so 35k on them right now. im going to switch to procomp a/t since they have a 70k (i think) warranty and most m/t dont. however procomp m/t have a 50k warranty..

in other news, i called the dealer about the drag link and having them align the steering wheel since its been off ever since i got the lift put on. they said they werent allowed to grind the weld off and reweld it. that a replacement drag link was needed. on back order for 4-6 weeks, 707 bucks, and warranty recall doesnt cover replacing it. ill get a thuren from got exhaust for about 350 and then have it fixed.

I would just grind the welds off myself, loosen the nuts, adjust the wheel center, then tighten them back up and leave the welds off.

Although getting a new drag link is a better option lol

I dont think thuren offers a 4th gen drag link. If they do that's new to me and I gotta get it [emoji1787]
Synergys offering is decent that's what I currently have

to me

Thank you for your recent order. We don't currently have any of the Synergy Steering Kits SYN-8725-01 or the Fox Stabilizers FOX-985-24-170 you ordered in stock right now. According to our supplier, we're looking at about 9-11 weeks to receive more Synergy Steering Kits. Unfortunately we do not have a good ETA for the Fox Stabilizer.

If you're okay with the delay, there's no need to follow up, and we'll send you tracking as soon as possible. If the delay won't work for you, just reply here and let me know that we need to get a refund going.

A lot of our suppliers (as well as everyone else) are experiencing serious delays due to Covid and we appreciate your patience.

Thanks, talk to you soon.

lucky me i am patient

 

[olyelr]

Well damn!!! But that is just how it goes these days....sucks.

 

[olyelr]

I would reach out to Thuren to see if he has anything in stock.

only thing i can use is the drag link and trac bar. my alignment is good. its just the steering wheel being off that is annoying. i can wait. i was ok waiting 3 months for my light pods, and the light bar is still june for an eta. which was initally a 6 month wait. thank you army for teaching me to hurry up and wait.
