In my early days of owning my savage, I knew very little. All of my info came from my LHS at the time. They were big Integy promoters, and they were happy to take lots of my money. I've tried a lot of their parts, many are in a box never to see the light of day again. Some are still on my truck now and I would by again. I'm not in any way a 'supporter' of Integy, just thought I'd make a list of the parts I've tried and my pos/neg experiences with them.
Rear hub carriers-
great part, eliminate rear turn buckles. Never had any problems
Steering bell crank-
so-so, liked that they came with bearings. Took some fiddling to get it set up nice. If it was tightened up too much, would bind. Prob would not buy again, just get bearings for stock set up.
A-arms upper and lower-
Added a lot of weight, but also lower center of gravity. Handled great, but after a few hits they bent a lot of pins and lower arm braces. Took them off once I cracked a diff housing. Very pricy, would not buy again.
Front/rear skid plate-
Terrible, heavy, bent on every hit/flip. Eventually cracked from trying to straighten back so many times.
Front rear bumper-
Kinda heavy. They do offer some protection from sticks and stones jamming into the shock towers. Prob wouldn't buy them again, but I have them, so I run them.
Turn buckles-
Garbage part, balls offer limited movement. I put them on and took them off. Do not buy!!
Throttle mixing arm-
Has a bearing in it, very smooth. Would buy again
Shock towers-
Lots of mounting options for shock mounting, but once I broke a diff housing from the a-arm I took them off too.
Front axle carriers-
Good part, no issues. Would buy again.
Big bore shock bodies-
Only ran them for a few tanks, but so far they are great. Threaded bodies, aluminum caps. Also come with 3 different sets of springs.
