Thanks.

Looks like a lot of great ingredients.

I'm running Currie 4" springs, track bars and steering...love em.

Personally I'd rather have Savvy control arms...but that might not be possible.

Good to hear. They offer it all separately so you could piece it together if you wanted. What do you like about Savy control arms over these?

Just solid lighter aluminum and it would appear to be the overall endorsement from folks on the forum.

Same joints.

I'm running stock control arms sans lower rears...have some super cheap rough country ones because I just had to adjust my pinion angle.

The good Savvy ones run $1600 but everything they have doubles in price every time I look.

I'm tempted to buy a lathe and make my own...but I've got to finish my shop first.

The best difference is the option for double adjustable links, meaning you can adjust the arms while installed.

This is a fact. But we just bought a BNIB full set of Rockjock CR’s for $1300 shipped to my door. I’ll take that cost savings over the headache of trying to order anything from Savvy. BTW, i have Savvy double adjustable arms on my rig. 😉

I got basically the same kit through Savvy with the double adjustable control arms back at the end of November. Shipped quick and got everything in about 7 days. They offer the configurable kit which was nice as you had some options for track bar front and rear and sway bar options. Probably would have to reach out to Savvy as the kit is no longer listed but when I spoke with them they said will continue to offer the TJ/LJ products. The Rockjock and savvy stuff is real nice, can’t wait to install, just need to finish installing the heat in garage.
 
I have that kit (basically, mine are all double adjustable) on my LJR - I like everything about it- was a breeze to fine tune the caster and axle positions.

Anyone that knows modern coil spring Jeeps is impressed when they drive a Currie equipped jeep that is set up right.

I have been running Currie double adjustable uppers and single adjustable lowers on my TJ for 17 years. When I bought the LJ this past summer the PO had an RE short arm 3 1/2” lift and the joints were quite worn. Instead of rebuilding the RE joints I just replaced with Currie double adjustable arms as well as their F/R track bars and steering.
Keep the joints greased and they will last longer.

That's almost exactly what's in my TJ and I loved it on my favorite SoCal and AZ trails, I'm just running Currie's Antirock up front instead of the front antiswaybar links in that kit. That's a great quality suspension that will hold up for many years.

Nice ride, mine is going on a LJ rubicon also. Excited to do the install.

It’s definitely more than I need at the moment. But I want the best ride out of my lifted rig and the ability to tackle a trail should it happen. Rockjock rep said this kit should get the suspension geometry back where it should be. What do you think about the rancho 9000 adjustable shocks they offer?

I'm running the Rancho RS9000xl adjustable shocks and even on their softest setting they still ride a lot stiffer than my previous RS5000x shocks I really liked. One of these days, maybe, I'm going back to the RS5000x which is all I need. I also like how the RS5000x works offroad on rough desert washboard roads, they really worked great on those. One shock that had great reviews I ran for a short while was the Monotube from Rubicon Express and it was terrible on such roads. I was in a big group taking a long dirt road to the trail we were going to run and I couldn't keep up with my Monotube shocks, they ran off and left me when them laughing on their CB radios the entire time. Some shocks get great reviews but still not do well in all situations.
