I would recommend the JKS Draglink Flip. I just installed it this weekend. I had the Synergy on my old Jeep, I didn't like the way it flops around. What I did like about the JKS is comes with the 7/8 step bit and it cuts like going through butter. Also the insert is knurled and fits tightly.Been doing some research today on drag link flip kits. I have seen threads on the evo, synergy, and jks kits. What are you guys running or recommend?
Edit: I see threads on the install, looking for recommendations, if there is a recent thread out there please link it!
Honestly I don't think you can go wrong with any of the 3. In my opinion tho I would look at the evo first over the other two. Very solid setup and super easy to install and gets the job done.
Seems like lots of guys have trouble or questions with the Evo one. I did JKS and had no issues. And it's nice they include the step bit in the kit as mentioned.

Mounts basically the same as the other ones.Thank you everyone. For those running the jks kit; where does the bracket included mount to?

The only "issue" with the stock draglink that EVO uses arises if you are running large (37+) inch tires and not using hydro assist. It will bend, and constantly be changing your steering wheel position when wheeling from the amount of force applied by the tires. In reality, in order to need a draglink flip, you should have enough lift to be running that large of a tire anyway - and you should also be running hydro for those tires; which will remove the load off the draglink negating the need for anything stronger.I have the Synergy but I have the Prorock 44. Didn't even think about that being problem but the axle tubes are bigger. I'm a decent fabricator so I ground the arches bigger until they were a tight fit, it is now a weld in system. So it does matter which axle you have so you can match it properly. The only issue I see with the EVO is that is still a stock albeit a reversed draglink. However, if stock has worked before I don't see why it wouldn't again. The actual bracket seems plenty strong. I think if I was on 3-4 inches or so and no bigger than 35's I'd go EVO. Not to say it can't handle more, I'd probably just unduly worry and I tend to overbuild for my purposes.

In my opinion, chromo draglinks etc are more of a gimmick. If you aren't running hydro, do you really want the draglink ripping off your steering box instead of bending?
