I went through this same question a few months back. I ended up going with the Synergy front "upgrade". Basically, the brackets and the long arms. I'm in the process of installing right now so I can't give much opinion other than this is BEEF. The brackets fit snugly over the frame so you'll have to run your stiffeners right up to them and then use plates to weld the "bridge".
From my research I'd recommend Synergy, Clayton, Serious. Both Clayton and Serious have an aftermarket crossmember that WILL work with stiffeners. I didn't need the crossmember as I already have a non-factory and I wanted a 4-link instead of radius arms. Honestly, I don't think you can go wrong w/ any of these.

I may be slightly biased, but you can't beat a true 3 link off road. I build them, I wheel them, and I've shipped dozens of these kits all over the country. If you have any questions about the long arm 3 link kit please call me at the shop, 423-424-9662.

B Lee I was looking at your 3 link and was impressed, the only reason I didn't buy it was because you use Heim joints and I don't want Heim joints for my DD. If you offered a kit with JJ or bushings I would've bought your kit.

haha I should be home next month but I haven't bought the TNT longarms yet...I'm waiting to see if any sales come up before I buy them, I'll probably end up ordering the arms towards the end of Nov. I wanted to wait until black Friday but if I do that I won't get the arms in time to install them before I have to head back out the door.
