Pretty sure we can have some stronger cvds, and wider arms if we go with cen parts. Specifically gst parts. I have ordered lower and upper arms, hubs and driveshafts (cvd type) to try on one of my savages.

I have seen this doen before, will have to scare up pics. The driveshafts are much thicker than the shd and lst2 types. And they use a truggy style hex adapter, with a crosspin that is held via a setscrew.

The Cen axles are 10 mm and drop down to 8mm where the hex adapters mount. Bearings are 10x17x7mm, much bigger and stronger than the 8x16 in the savage.

I will use the cen gst hubs and knuckes asd they are, and they must fit the savage arms, as the truck I saw had savage lower arms on the rear and cen lower arms on the front with the cen knuckles and hubs all around. Pretty sure the cen axles will only fit the larger bulletproof diff output cups.

I have seen it done but the pics are terrible, so I bought the parts (not very expensive it you shop around) and when they come in i will give it a try.

If this worksit will cure all kinds of savvy issues, namely: Stronger axles, with larger bearings, cvd style driveshafts, stronger lower arms (?) and possibly a wider stance. The last two are up in the air, but since these parts are under the gst they must be pretty good as that is a big heavy truck.
