Rock Krawler 12 inch stretch kit

How else can we change our rigs other than bolting on overpriced junk? Teach me!

There is atleast one more way .. you can do a custom build with custom fabbed parts and all sorts of compromises due to builders not knowing/willing to learn any better. Well known example .. genright tracer. Too many other shops to add to to example list :)

I wouldn’t exactly call rock krawler junk. Their stuff is beat on pretty good with good results. If I recall didn’t Savvy run a rock krawler set up in one of their rigs at KOH last year, maybe? I know Savvy sells their lifts. So it must be junk. 😷

Did a stretched Savvy RK build win any races?
No because it’s junk. Right😜
My point was they make plenty of quality parts there. I have received recommendations on their parts from Gerald himself on a couple of occasions. Point is many are bashing a product without any real cause. I don’t know anything about it to defend its use. Bit for somebody looking to run a 38+ tire size maybe this is a decent start, maybe not.

if I am looking at a TJ race car and I see stock rear coils cut into the back side of the frame arch, I am going to be a little suspicious about what else is going on. Savvy at their worst probably isn't doing that.

I dont follow Ultra 4 much and i dont think many on here do either, considering how many said Savvy was busy prepping for KOH on another thread...

I know that the "LJK" had some JK rock krawler suspension on it but I am not aware of a savvy racecar running RK. I could be wrong though since i do not follow this stuff.

The 2 door JK that your buddy was first co-dawg for Mr. Lee and then later driver of for Ultra 4 had RK under it. He can explain it to you.

Good to know. Safe to say a Tj with bolt on 12" stretch kit was probably never run at KOH then.

This is the context of this thread, a bunch of poor decisions in a kit. Sure you can single out any good component from a single company out of a kit but that doesn't make this kit any less of an overpriced dog.

Savvy selling something doesn't really mean anything until you understand what it is (and I'm not going to look, but pretty sure they don't sell this kit).
 
No I doubt you will see this kit on Savvy’s page anytime soon either. Their mid arm kind of fills the need.

Also, control arm joints, as long as they can survive one or two races, are unlikely to determine a finish.

Only for those who understand how the arms change relative to a stretch. The rest will be looking for a stretch kit.
 
Damn!
Y'all scared the poor fella away in about 14 minutes!
Don't worry Tpink! They're ok once you get to know em...mostly.

Don’t get me wrong. I think a bolt on 12ā€ stretch is silly. Hell we already know a long arm is not the way to go. So let’s make them 12ā€ longer.
My only issue here is when it started into brand bashing and not this particular product.
I do t have any RK products not do I intend to.
