It would be good if there was a thread for the paid members of this forum ( just because it gives something back for the running of the forum) that listed companies that would give a forum discount.
Does Savvy offer a discount to forum members?

I think it would be good to make this one stick. Robert Kobal with RWK Haus Supply can get you a better discount than any discount code you enter into Savvy's website. As @Chris mentioned some items have a greater discount than others. I've ordered my lift and skids all from Savvy through Robert. He has saved me significantly more than Savvy's discount codes. I had him quote me the mid arm kit before I purchased their short arm and the mid arm was $500+ cheaper through him than going directly through site. He can take payments through paypal but if you write a check it can save you roughly another 5%.
Just got a great price on Currie
Steering. Text the number on the web site with what you need.
I’d go ahead and get a price for savvy. You will not bend it as several members here have bent the currie.
The material it is made from was changed several years ago so make sure you're talking about the correct part. Regardless of that, I have (in the context of this discussion) an unbreakable tierod on my LJ that spans roughly 5ft I would NOT want to recreate that for my TJ.
The material changed from threaded 1.25" solid round 4340 steel alloy to threaded 1.50" solid round 7075 aluminum.
Correct. Savvy's tie rod is 7075 aluminum, Currie's is a non-heat treated steel.
The tierod is the only part that is different between the Currie and Savvy kits (and Savvy uses jam nuts and Currie uses clamps, but that's besides the point).
The Savvy heat treated 7075 aluminum will bend (and retain the bend) just the same as Currie's steel tierod. I'd go with whichever is cheaper.
If you can get your hands on one of the original Savvy heat treated 4340 tierods that will be a different story. That's where these pictures came from:
I have seen the pics comparing Currie to stock and read what people have said, but until I held the Currie in my hands I didn’t fathom just how beefy it it. Dang!!!!
4130 is hard to tap if it is in the normalized condition, Annealed is machineable and not too rough on taps.
Since the clamps on the tie rod are indexed due to grooves for bolts, do people have issues hitting the clamps on rocks if they wind up facing down? Kind of odd they can’t be turned to any position.
