How is the RE kit so much better, I just looked it up and it still runs a factory setup with longer arms. The Full Traction kit goes to a triangulated three link in the rear for more articulation and better bump handling characteristics at highway speed. This thing jumps around bad on expansion joints when running highway speeds and everything that Ive read on the Jeep forums say this kit solves that, so unless Im missing something why does everyone say to with them? Or is just like everyone says to get a procomp lift for our trucks even though there arent the best out there?

On a side note Im not going to be making much progress for a while I go back to work for the first time in almost 3 months and Ive got to be in at 1230am and Ill be busy through the weekend then July 4th so...
