I thought the RPG system was more aggressive then SVC. Doesn't RPG require the half shafts replaced with longer? And fenders?
I'm an RPG fan, but thought it was more than I wanted.

You can go ahead and tack on and additional $5,000 (tax not included) for the axles and shocks. And correct me if I'm wrong but it will be another $2,500 for another set of shocks if you want the dual option? For the RPG system that is. Might as well go ahead and get the tie-rods too while you're at it. I think I'll give SVC a shot.

I really think it's a "tomato" "potato" thing. If you're looking to add the width, then RPG is the way to go.
If I had the money today, I'd probably go SVC.
RPG. Please chime in if I got this wrong.

Correction to my previous post: it appears the RPG kit includes the tie-rod upgrade. The SVC kit is only the LCA, additional mount & 3.5" Fox. So I would still need to purchase the Fox 3.0s, UCA & tie-rods. And that's not including an upgraded spindle. So the RPG seems to be the most complete kit. If only they would include absolutely everything in it.....

I'm not going to try and get in the middle of this :crazy:, but you you do not "need" to upgrade the spring carrier to a 3.0. Nearly all the dampening power is removed from the shock anyway. So there's really no need to upgrade the factory shock. The new @svc 3.5" bypass does all the work in that department.
