I have a 2001 xj with 4.5" lift. I already have an RE adj track bar. But I want a better than stock mount with out it being a drop mount. I was looking into the synergy style. To be honest, I like it. I need more thoughts before I buy.

Haha ya I was literally just looking at that. Does it matter it if a drop bracket with an adj tack? I mean I know there is alot of geometry in steering and suspension

Not sure. I bought rock krawler's bomb proof track bar and mount. It was a drop mount and it worked good for me.

It would depend on YOUR steering geometry, though.

If a drop won't be good, u could drill a hole above the one already on it.

What kind of joint is on your track bar? I'm pretty sure it ll work on your track bar. But if it uses tie rod style then it won't work

I am late to this post but... The track-bar bracket I have from Rock Krawler (double shear, bombproof) places the bar in the same location as stock. The bracket is longer overall but that is due to it using a heim instead of a TRE.
Iron Rock has 2 versions from what I interpret from their website. One of them adds drop.
If the bracket does 'drop' the bar than other steering components will need to change too.
