I don't want artec trusses. I prefer to build my own axles and I'm just getting my feet wet. Vehicle setup will ultimately be a stretched mid-arm TJ using JK axles.

Looking for input on various manufacturers of the following:

Front axle:
LCA axle mounts
Single UCA mount for 3-link. I'll remove factory mount off differential and use 1/2" bent plate as a "bridge"
Sway bar mount tabs
Shock mounts (was thinking poly performance)
Axle gussets
Coil buckets. Make my own?
Track bar will be 3/4" DOM welded to passenger side gusset.

Rear axle:
LCA axle mounts
UCA axle mount for 4-link using 1/2" bent plate as a "bridge"
Outboard shock kit
Coil buckets. Make my own?
 
Why not go with a Savvy mid-arm which will come with brackets?

Savvy is only the bridge UCA on axles and frame side brackets. I second the Savvy kit, very well designed but you do have to adapt the trusses for JK axles (see my thread) and its low profile not like the Artec monstrosities.

Here's my opinions:
The polyP outboard kit can be used front and rear and has upper and lower shock mounts.
Artec C-gussets seem fine.
Coil buckets, why not re-use what you got?
Don't know on LCA mounts but probably a lot of options there.
Track bar = DIY
Sway bar diy.

yah the Savvy design is about a big as you dare go on the front end. even if you make your own, any extension over the long tube needs kept low as they did.
