RPG Bolt on LT Kit

I would not really call it a long travel kit. I think this can be classified as mid travel..

Doesn't matter really.
You're getting an external bypass added and a fabricated knuckle, with all connections in double shear.
A little extra travel is just gravy.
This is a much better buy than doing the double front setup and retaining the stock knuckle. Sure you can reinforce the stock knuckle, but anything left as a single shear joint is a liability, as many have found.
Personally, I'd still do something like the brenthel for the extra compression travel, but for somebody wanting a simpler bolt on setup, this is very attractive, especially to those who already have 3.0's.

Yeah really just your opinion that it doesn't matter, for many it does. But as you stated, the beauty of this kit is that if you already have the shocks then you can continue to build on your purchase instead of having to replace aftermarket parts with new parts which is gravy.
