Savvy off-road sold? (the unofficial Savvy customer support and Savvy rant thread)
- Thread starter Gollywomper
- Start date
My concession to stop all the questions about why it didn't have a truss on the front. Much easier to do that rather than spend 100's of hours debating which truss works with the Savvy Diff mount. And since it only requires cutting off one mount, it has a reasonable expectation that the customer could do it. The rear OTOH, not as simple and a lot more work.
While I ordered my tcase shifter from them directly, about the time this thread started, and received it with no trouble, I see the 1.25 body lifts are “available on back order”. I’ve tried google with no luck. Anyone have any other recommendations on where to get one or have one new in box they didn’t use and want to part with?
So it serves the same function as the grease fitting on the Johnny Joint, that is to appease the customers?
It is actually useful and designed well. I just don't know that it is a necessity.
I just placed an order for the back ordered body lift.... I have a 1.25" JKS now that I initially got 8 or 9 years ago because the Savvy was out of stock back then too...
I did have the savvy bl on my last TJ though. Should have just pulled it before I sold it.
I don't get why everyone has issues with this. I'm able to grease my JJs just fine.
Add me to the body lift-less list. I'm gonna place an order for them this week.
I do have the MML pucks, does anyone know if these can be installed while i wait for the body lift? One of my motor mounts, specifically the metal hoop over the rubber on the drivers side, is shot.

Do you know what the size of the bolts are that are needed for the rear diff to to truss brace are? I also need to get some.
I believe they are 1". Been awhile since I ordered some. I'll check.
Watch out on the JKS BL. The warnings here on the forum are factual about compression of their pucks causing tub damage.
My 2 mounts under the rear seat both dented the tub with their bolts and I'm repairing a torque box under the passenger seat that I'd bet money was damaged by the mounts compressing. The torque box didn't just rust, it has a crack like it was compressed by bounding on the BL puck... YMMV Just a warning.
Well, that is why I ordered the Savvy body lift.
I was careful not to over-tighten them when I installed them the first time, it's clear they're too soft and compress. Just pulled them out this week and got a new set of body mounts and everything is fine.
Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure I had the Currie body lift on my last TJ. Also aluminum pucks but only 1" if I recall.
Over or under tightening makes no difference. JKS doesn't allow the bolts to ever reach the proper torque value because they are squishy.
Boy do you have to be careful with your words around here.
I should say I intentionally under-tightened them because they were squishy. It was a compromise at the time because I couldn't get the savvy body lift.
Is squishy an acceptable word or should we argue semantics on that one
Doesn't matter. All this is is another illustration that JKS is selling a poorly designed product and doesn't understand how bolts work going on 20 years.
