Synergy 8001 - Jeep JK High Steer Drag Link - Manual

SYNERGY MFG. 870 INDUSTRIAL WAY, SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA (805) 242-0397
PPM-8001 JK HIGH STEER DRAGLINK
Version 13
GENERAL NOTES:

This draglink can be used in the stock configuration or in a flipped high steer layout.
These instructions cover both forms of installation.
The following notes are in relation to the high steer drag link flip conversion:

If doing a high steer conversion, the installation of this draglink will require a tapered
reamer of 1.5 in. per ft or the use of a 8001-03-01 TRE adapter sleeve and a 7/8” drill bit.

This draglink should be used in conjunction with the PPM-8055 front track bar relocation
bracket.
 You must use a minimum 3” tall front bump stop extensions to prevent the track bar and
draglink from hitting the bottom of the frame at full bump. PPM-8057-30 (3”) and PPM-
8057-40 (4”) front bump stops are available. 3” tall bumpstop spacers are recommend
for using 35” tires and the 4” tall for 37” tires.
1. With a jack stand supporting the passenger side of the front axle, remove the passenger side
tire and wheel.
2. Remove the factory draglink from the steering knuckle and pitman arm. A couple of sharp
blows with a large hammer to the steering arm and pitman arm will usually pop the taper
loose.
3. Note: steps 5-6 are for high steer drag link flip conversion with 8001-03-01. If bolting
draglink into stock location, proceed to step 9.
4. If using a tapered reamer (no TRE adapter) and a 1/2” drive hand drill, ream the factory
steering knuckle from the top to a diameter of .730”, measured to the large end (top) of the
taper. Check fit the new tie rod end and castle nut to make sure the taper is deep enough to
install the cotter pin.
5. If using an 8001-03-01 TRE flip adapter, drill the factory steering knuckle using a 7/8” drill
bit and install the flip adapter from the top. Be careful when drilling out the hole to not
oblong or enlarge the hole over 1.00”
6. The 7/8
” (.875”) drill bit should equate to about a .900” hole due to hand drilling. If
additional clearance is needed, use a small dremel tool or die grinder to clearance the
hole for the flip adapter to be installed.

Any larger than 1.00” and the flip adapter will not seat correctly in the
knuckle. The target finished hole size is between .900” and .950” See
Pictures 5.1 and 5.2 for reference.

Once the hole is drilled to size, install the flip adapter. DO NOT hammer
the flip adapter into knuckle. The flip adapted should drop into place. If
it does not drop into place, open up the hole in the knuckle slightly.
