Lets discuss new Core 4x4 Series packages

Following up.
Black Friday finally arrived and it’s 15% off. BUT (and it’s a huge but) they REMOVED THE DOUBLE ADJUSTABLE option on their site. Waited all this time and they don’t want to put double adjustable on sale?

Looks bad on core4x4. Once I finally get a hold of them, (it’s thanksgiving), I’ll evaluate their reasoning but I have a feeling I’ll just go to savvy.

At the price point of the Crawl series in the sale plus an additional $100 for double adjustment (if it was being made available) they are very close to the price of the Savvy arms. Other than the hope of getting the Crawl series with double adjustment at a significantly larger discount is there a particular reason you have held out for the Core Crawl arms and not just bought the Savvy ones?

On the broader point any company has a perfect right to decide what they do and don't sell, in the same way that any potential consumer has a right to decide if they want to buy something or not.

Reviving the thread for a moment. With comparing the Core Crawl series double adjustable to the Savvy double adjustable, and the prices being the same, which would you choose and why? I’m going to wait and see what Black Friday or whichever sale happens soonest, but if the prices were always the same, I’m curious which set you all would choose whether based on aluminum vs steel or color options or, whatever…

Assuming it's the same Johnny Joints, I'd pick the aluminum bodies over steel every time.

Yeah, but why? Is it the corrosion resistance aspect? I believe the weight and strength are about the same between AL and steel in this particular case.

Corrosion resistance, weight savings (if there is any?), and that aluminum tends to slide very nicely over the rocks.

But if everything else is equal, then corrosion resistance would be enough for me.

There isn't any weight savings for aluminum vs steel control arms. IIRC the bar has to be thicker for the same strength.
