When you start wheeling in terrain where your current build starts to show issues that are hard to deal with and your skill level driving is no longer good enough to get where you want to go, then the mid arm makes sense.

i did front first then rear the next year but not for any good reason beyond by the time i finished my front with JK swap and coilovers I was completely out of time and money. The savvy kit is great if you use as-is, it goes in quick and easy. Not sure theres much reason to one and not the other they're designed to work together.

Back to your statement , it brings a question to mind. In the instructions that may come with the savvy mid arm kit , is it plain and clear where the brackets go ? Or does it have more to do with keeping a certain wheel base??

The frame brackets go in a specific location.

True and you did mess with the mount positions didnt you?

No they are where Savvy (sort of) directions specify them to be.
I wasn't gunna mess up what Blaine had developed.
My front links are longer than stock but everything else is per the instructions.

So I know my front Dana 30 will work with the diff bracket ,
I have an 8.8 with an OX COVER PLATE in the rear . So can the Dana 44 bracket be modified to fit the 8.8 ??
Thanks

Modify the Savvy mini truss? The 8.8 is a much larger center section and the tubes are also larger. It would be better to make your own.

I definitely would have to start with the original truss for proper angle , but would modify to better fit the 8.8.
