Talking Synergy Sway Bar Mounts on an XJ?

Will these Synergy Swaybar mounts work on an XJ?

I can't imagine the swaybar bracket being any different than what I see on my XJ.

If not, what other better options do i have beside those huge black relocate brackets?

Thanks for the feedback. I am aware of what the purpose of the parts are for, that is not the issue. I was wondering if the Synergy ones I listed (for Wrangler rear) would work on a XJ swaybar.

I did not find any brackets made by Rough Country.
Can you provide a link please?

To answer my own question, I think the Wrangler Rear Swaybar relocate brackets by Synergy are the same for the XJ.

I found this kit on the site:
http://www.synergymfg.com/Synergy-XJ...t-p-30926.html

Which lists part #8086-02 Aluminum Sway Bar Relocation Block, which is the same part number as the Wrangler kit.

So I think ... mystery solved. Will order and try.

I don't think those would have worked, they only lower the swaybar mount location and do nothing about moving the ends away from the bigger springs.

Thanks for following up though, it's good to know of more options.

I've got the Synergy ones due on Friday.

I'll post pics when done.

Got the Synergy Relocation brackets in today. Even though they are labeled for JK rear swaybar, they work perfectly on th XJ.

Pics as promised:

The brackets


Not as much drop as the other brackets I've seen. I prefer less drop. Can see how they move the swaybar backover an inch.


No more disco's hitting the spring anymore! You can see the previous battle scars on the spring.

I like them better than the 3" drop down and forward brackets everyone else makes.

Agreed. The least amount of hardware with edges hang down from places the better.

I made some relocation brackets for my XJ 'cause my sway bar was hitting my track bar bracket.

Yup, that's the way to do it. does your relocation bracket utilize both original bolt holes? I can only see one. The other is underneath the bushing?

Yes it is counter sunk in between the other bolt holes. Had to do it tired of the clanking noise.
