    Perhaps there is a link or someone who can explain the difference between the 2; both the positive and negative effects of each lift.

    Here's the deal, bottom line...
    If you install everything in that kit, you STILL lose the same amount of down travel in the front suspension...end of story.

    You don't need the:
    HD torsion bars
    Shocks
    Sway bar disconnects
    Ball joint spacers
    Rear axle adjustable third link (though it would be nice)

    All the other stuff is basically the same as what I'm currently using, with the exception of the adjustable MONDO lower links...:_drool:

    Use the money you save to lock the rear with an Aussie locker or an ARB air locker...
    And maybe even have some left over to become a site supporter...
    Don't be offended, drumming up site support is what I do...

    You now have two cents worth of opinion, that used to belong to me...
