Not quite. While I was doing something else, I noticed that I could shake the end of an arm within the mount. After I went though greasing and tightening everything, there was a very noticeable decrease in the overall "noise" and sloppiness of the Jeep while driving. I have experienced similar improvements after replacing worn shock and sway bar bushings.
I didn’t even pay that close of attention. I assumed at 2k that was the mid arms but it’s just short arms.
Why would you not just get the old arms with JJ? Advertising? Not adding up.
Does anyone else offer this arm in 6061? Are they only in competition with there own arm?

If you don't want to pay for Savvy, I'll sell you some gently used metalcloak arm and bilstein shocks for $1539
Rock jocks are not double adjustable lowers for a full set at $1,850.
Metalcloak has aluminum double adjustable using their joints for $1,750
Core 4x4 are similar to rock jock with single adjustable with all Johny joints for $1,425
These are the only ones I think of that are competing with savvy.
Okey,
Then they are only bashing themselves.
Rock Jock - D.O.M. steel tubing .188 in. wall
Metal Cloak - "aircraft aluminum"
Core 4x4 - DOM Tubing with .313” wall
Guess I am happy to have picked up the old style Savvy arms.
The core 4x4 arms can be upgraded to double adjustable for $100

IIRC the core arms are really thick. If you have enough droop of the axle, the lowers hit the bracket on the axle side. Not a problem if you don't mind trimming.

There was a period last week when the new ones hit the website that the old ones disappeared. When I first saw them I went to the website and the only control arms for a TJ. Not sure if that was a hiccup or mistake but I would bet the old style will only last until inventory is gone.
Why is the rock slider jutting out into the wheel well in that diagram of the inner fenders?
IDK, but the lowers should be 7075 and the uppers can be 6061.
The sliders fit stock fenders, they need to get trimmed for any aftermarket fender if you want it to look good. Standard procedure for installing full length sliders with after market fenders.
I think they’ll function similarly to a trophy truck trailing arm. I believe they run a hard poly bushing on the frame side to prevent the arm from rotating and damaging the shocks that are mounted to it. Then i believe they run a large heim to get the most amount of misalignment on the axle side. It works there but i dont know the specifics such as any downfalls.
