I've been urging people to buy this kit for years now but I've never seen it done. it looks like such an awesome kit! and it keeps you at a nice low and manageable 3.5" lift. and you don't have to spend $300 on a steering kit since you're so low. it's the makings of a great builder kit. my only gripe is that it doesn't come with a cross member. but it allows you to build a custom belly pan that remains separate from the suspension if you can.
if I was ever to buy a bolt on builder kit, it would have to be this

Atmos...that's the kit I'm looking at buying!! I was curious as to why there is no crossmember...figured it must be fine without!! I am thinking I might as well upgrade the steering while I'm at it,not sure which yet...took me quite awhile to finally make a decision on the full traction kit!!

Are they able to do just the necessary hardware for the arms? I've already got 3.5+ on the front and was looking at ditching my short arms for long arms. If they've got a competitive price for just the arm assembly I'm sold.

They do sell just the arms. But if you're just doing a long arm upgrade by itself you're much better off getting something that comes with a good crossmember. And if you want a good xmember it's gonna be Seriousoffroad or T&T. Gotta protect that tcase

I'm going to give Full Traction a call on Monday and ask them a few questions mostly about the lack of a new crossmember but I have a feeling they have done their R&D and will make me feel comfortable!!
