Should I be concerned about Savvy Off Road?
- Thread starter UglyDuck
- Start date
Spot on but I’m not sure why it’s directed at me. I don’t recall being the party who dared complain about savvy CS.
And thank you for driving my point home.
Maybe Novak eventually listened to @mrblaine ?
I have one from 2017 that I've never had to lube and I didn't have to do any drilling. Was the drilling specific to the UA kit? It could also be that they designed it by fitting it to a 97 tub only and there's some bolt location change after the 97 model year.
I don't have a tummy tuck though so that may be way no friction issues.
Maybe I'm lucky? I called Savvy twice and got an answer twice. I got a confirmation email and a shipping email.

Thx Blaine. Glad you were in a mood to explain this morning. I like history. Its instructive.
I don’t blame anyone for starting these threads. If you were relatively new to the Jeep scene and ordered a bunch of Savvy parts without knowing about their lack of customer service beforehand, you’d probably be surprised in for a shock.
This isn’t exclusive to Savvy by any means. I know companies like this in the gun industry as well as many other industries.
The reason they are all still in business is because they build products that are above and beyond what others build.
I always feel bad for the guys who start these threads because they don’t know what so many of us have known for such a long time.

You get your engine yet?
it's not necessarily directed at you
but rather those who know, or should know by this point in time, how Savvy does business yet are shocked by the lack of communication, extended delivery times, etc. and feel compelled to post about it i.e. yelling at clouds
Yep. Surprisingly they were quick. They said they had a bunch in stock though.
ok so i came here to post a similar question..
but kinda different..
In april i ordered a 3" lift from them
came about a month later, even though (a. i called twice and they never picked up maybe more.. and b. i emailed twice and they never emailed me back)
hey as long as expectations are set.. i'm fine with it..
I got the lift installed about a month ago and man..
going from rusted out oe. control arms, borderline deathrattle in the back and worn out suspension (especially shocks) - - now, the jeep drives like its on rails ... reminds me of my s2000 in terms of handling. (i know i'm exaggerating here but.. ) but the drive inspires confidence..
Ok now for my question ... "fait attention si vous plais"
I really want new rockers.

I want to hold out for the savvy rockers. I have read all the threads .. and this is the one that i want.
That said.. it says these are out of stock..Would anyone know.. are they out of stock and being discontinued? or just wait on the site and it'll magically appear one day?
i can't call or email so I was hoping someone here could help me out..
I am concerned because i have seen a few manufactures discontinue LJ/TJ products especially niche products so thats why i'm asking.
TY in advance

Yep. Me too. And several others here want them, too. Word is no time soon but I AM paying attention in case that changes. Didn't know many from Kansas spoke French? Not that I do, but I was there once, which really reinforced the point.
I don't have any of their parts but do recognize the purpose-built quality as a result of much research here and taking notes from many who are much more knowledgeable on the topic than I. Based on that, I decided I wanted a set, saw they were out of stock and registered my email with them to get notified once back in stock. That was several months ago.
I checked their site fairly regularly to see the same out of stock status and kept waiting, only to come across a thread here where a handful of members had noticed them in stock on the website and had grabbed the few available sets. I literally stumbled across that thread the day after it all happened and I never received any notice they'd come back in stock.
If you're set on these, my advice would be to check their site regularly and frequently and not rely on the 'email me when in stock' function.
It's infuriating when people/companies do passive aggressive stuff like that. I would not support them just out of principle.
I do the same for anything I am passionate about and understand the details/workings and have the option to make a choice .. for example, between AMD and Nvidia, Nvidia undoubtedly makes the better graphics cards hardware wise if you absolutely want/need raw performance, but AMD tends makes choices that are more consumer and industry friendly, and I feel compelled to vote with my dollars. But again, I am in the minority that feels very strongly about these kind of things and most people do not care.

My neighbor just bought the B&M looked very similar to Savvy installed with no issues
I have not had any issues with AMD drivers in recent years on the systems I have put together. The driver issue was in the past and it still keeps getting told when it's not really true anymore imo.
Also .. aren't you a Linux user? You still would support Nvidia's practices?
My old potato computer has to play games on low res settings. I need better drivers.
I kinda meant lube of some kind,yes I heard(water displacement-40th try)
Astro-glide works well.
